Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
Tboooe, it's been interesting.I put the Silver Minimus into the system and it worked. The noise floor dropped and it was betterÂ…HOWEVER, there are a variable that I need to revisit to be sure of my results, so I'm only saying the sound was noticea... 
Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
Well, my Silver Minimus just arrived. I got it from a Canadian exporter. I can't test it out as I had it sent to the West Coast, where I'm vacationing. Thought I'd try it out in a friend's system, but I'm not going back to San Francisco, so, so mu... 
Stillpoints under a turntable?
I bought a set of still points Ultra Mini Risers on a trip to a friend's house. Just for the fun of it, I put it under his turntable, which is a Project. He doesn't pay any attention to his setup and is more anti-audiophile in his attentiveness to... 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
I agree with your statement, Fleschler: the room is an extremely important part of the quality. I have used components in 4 rooms: 2 in San Francisco, in which one room was narrow (I didn't know about first reflection points then), but the speaker... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Just looked it up: I have the Cerapucs. I had the Cerabases at one point, and looked up Roy Gregory's review of them in Hi Fi Plus, and saw the anatomy of the device. It's similar to the Stillpoints in the technological approach, from what I can s... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
RAK:I have the Finite Elemente CeraÂ…puts? I used to have the top model, but then got the next one down from the top, which is on my Spider equipment rack.I had considered substituting the Stillpoints to the 'feet' on the Spider, but I wondered if ... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Tbg:You are just TOO rich for me, man! (Laughing). I would rather stick with the SS and be able to complement the whole system than have to buy one Ultra 5 at a time. I had to return the last set of Ultra Minis because of Bruce's "proclamation" th... 
Break In Time for Nordost Norse 2 lines
Stereo, it sounds as though you're not familiar with Nordost's line. It is in nearly every review of them that their break-in time is extensive. It has rarely been my experience that a cable that doesn't sound good when you insert it in to the sys... 
Nordost Norse 2 series vs Shunyata zitron
I have the Frey 2 and the Tyr 2. I also have Shunyata speaker cable, power cords, and Nordost power cords. And I had, for a short time, Shunyata's Zi-Tron Cobra (to match my power and speaker cables).They are both excellent cables, but are you spe... 
Why so many cut Nordost Odins?
It is EXTREMELY unwise to buy a cut Nordost cable. I say this as someone who has HAD a cut cable. Nordost is one state away from me in Massachusetts. I sent my Valhalla in and had Paul look at it. "Too short" he said. Nordost doesn't recomment sho... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
I would suggest putting them under the line conditioner, after one has placed them under the speakers, although the mini risers do just fine under a line conditioner (assuming it's not over 50 pounds, per Bruce at Stillpoints. He says they are jus... 
Stillpoint Ultra Minis
One thing I have found about the Ultra Minis is that they actually work better if you use four of them instead of three. (I didn't want to believe Roy Gregory, but empirical experience proved me wrong.)One of my amps was being repaired and I put t... 
any reviews Nordost norse 2 lineup?
P.S. I was idly looking on eBay tonight, just to pass the time and someone was selling a one meter length of Tyr 2. Based on the performance of the Freys, I bought them on the spot. I can have them checked by Nordost to make sure they're the real ... 
any reviews Nordost norse 2 lineup?
I have the Frey 2 interconnects. I had intended to buy a 1 meter length, but then considered I might want to put my amps behind the speakers, so I opted for the 2 meter length.As I have said in another thread, the Frey 2 is a very, very significan... 
Sweet spot in the Shunyata power cords line up ?
I myself would suggest not going lower than the Cobra. I tried the VTX cords and they were decent, but while it can give you the Shunyata sound, it will be less obvious how good the line is that if you go with a Cobra Zi-Tron, or Python Zi-Tron, b...
