| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 The Heimdall and Frey 2 are not in the same league. I have Tyr2 as well.same "house sound," but not same quality. | |
| Nola Contender & Totem Forest comparison? well, I have a pair of the Esprit (similar to the Elite and Viper speakers, but with only one woofer), and i can't say that their treble is better than the Contenders - with one caveat: the tweeters in more recent versions of the Contender do not ... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please Nolas flat? No life?!? Not the Nolas I've known and loved, and that includes 6 different models, including the Contenders. BUT.The earlier Contenders and the newer Contenders sound as though the tweeter is voiced differently. The earlier ones were... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp If a component is transparent to the recording, then there is no reason it cannot sound warm, if such is the quality of the recording.Mercury Living Presence recordings can sound quite warm, and are ALSO extremely transparent. I've owned a good de... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse That should have read, "I had forgotten where I put the BAG"…hate typos... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse Wow, I had NOT looked at Bazza's initial post before I posted this, although it IS what caused me to buy the fuse in the first place. It seems that he, too, heard the lack of emotional involvement in the fuse in certain applications. Conversely, h... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse So…I've had the Audio Horizons for 7 weeks now, and the results have been very good. BUT…I found the Audio Horizons to be a great fuse, but the only place I installed it was in my PS Audio Power Plant, which powers my phono stage and the integrate... | |
| Capacitance settings on Manley phonostage To make things interesting, my dealer installed a Clearaudio Accurate on my VPI turntable recently. We listened to it at 47K and then at 300 ohms. I didn't even realize he'd changed it (on the fly, right in the middle of the cut) and when he turne... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse Geoff:I've tried several after-market fuses, but when I find one that piques my interest, I usually obtain it first, rather than try something else that someone else likes or knows about. I'm sure the Audio Magic is great, and I may try it - after... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse I MEANT, "many posters WITH outstanding systems have had great success…" Duh... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse Geoffkait and Bazza:I have a Platinum Reference on the way. I will install it in the PS Audio Power Plant 300, which powers my integrated amp and CD player. I should be able to tell the difference reasonably easily, I think.My Shunyata ZiTron A di... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse Thanks for this. I will contact Audio Horizons tomorrow to get some of these. I have the Synergistic Research and I'm always up for something that will improve the system for less than $500!!! | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Sorry, I re-read my first few lines. Entreq has a line of cable (not 'connectors') that you can purchase either in (copper or silver) and apparently there are several different cables they manufacture, ranging from $120 (I got .65 meter Earth silv... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Tboooe, the spade to RCA or spade/spade is the connector that goes between the Entreq unit and the component you hook it up to. So, you don't merely get the unit: you can use ANY connector, I suppose (look up Roy Gregory's audiobeat review), but t... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Tboooe, sorry for the delay. The Silver Minimus with the Silver Earth cable makes a significant improvement, particularly in the noise floor of the system. I first hooked it up to an integrated amp, but I really didn't notice any significant chang... |
