| Isoclean vs. Oyaide I'd agree, Shellie. There are many combinations that don't "like" each other. I'm sure that using Shunyata CX with Audience conditioners and a Tesla unit may not be the best choice, which is why I've decided that tomorrow, I'm putting the FIM 880 ... | |
| Anyone tried using Oyaide R 1 with Ribbon speakers Interesting, Rja.I installed a Teslaplex into the system, and, while others found it immediately involving, I found it a bit hazy and it unquestionably diminshed the timing of cuts in the Mercury Living Presence CD The Nutcracker Suite (the origin... | |
| Isoclean vs. Oyaide I'm curious how long the Teslaplex units take to break in. Perhaps it's the Audience Teflon line conditioner that is plugged into the Teslaplex outlet. Perhaps they don't "like" each other. OR, it may be that the Teslaplex needs time to break in. ... | |
| power condtioner What does one find the main difference between a 15-amp circuit and a 20 amp circuit, sonically speaking? | |
| Isoclean vs. Oyaide Shellie:I did try the Precision Reference, as I mentioned in my post. I preferred it to the Apex.My Tesla outlet will arrive Wednesday. Frankly, it will be terrific if it does superior to the Oyaide. I'm not sure what the "colored" aspect of the O... | |
| Isoclean vs. Oyaide I will buy a Teslaplex simply to try it out, but having used the Oyaide, after using FIM 880s (the top level model as well as the less expensive ones) and PS Audio outlets, and having auditioned the Synergistic Apex and Precision Reference interco... | |
| Anyone tried using Oyaide R 1 with Ribbon speakers Rja:I should have mentioned that I had FIM 880s in my system prior to the R1s. While I like the FIM, it seems a bit "soft" to my ears, especially in the lower treble. Triangles on nearly every recording I played were less clear, and the strike of ... | |
| Power Receptacles - Review and Comparison Thanks for the review.I purchased an R1 receptacle recently, and, having recently purchased a used Convergent preamp which has some serious issues, I had to put it aside and use an Arcam FMJ22 integrated.My experience mirror yours somewhat with th... | |
| Anyone tried using Oyaide R 1 with Ribbon speakers I concur completely with Mike. I would say the sound moves from hi-fi to more of what it would sound like listening to a live broadcast from the Metropolitan opera. Considerably less "stiff" and much more fluid. Additionally, the soundstage grew, ... | |
| Shunyatas New CX series Toffeng:Sorry, I forgot to answer your question.I had Brahmas as well. They're also very dynamic, but -- from memory -- I'd say the Python is superior. I'd have to have them at the same time to be certain, to be fair, but that's my memory of them. | |
| Shunyatas New CX series Sherod:I find the sound of percussion to be pretty dynamic on the CX series, but it depends on the preamp one has and whether or not it has considerable dynamics in the upper midrange. I had a King Cobra V2, which I re-bought last year (I missed i... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L The Klyne is an extremely musical preamp, and not just a matter of what one likes if ones reference is live music. If you have ever heard a live triangle, and you then play a recording of one on a Klyne, the Klyne will sound the most true to life.... | |
| Shunyatas New CX series Hi Sherod:Glad you guys are enjoying the CX series cords. I have a question now that there are others with the Python: how do you find it on percussion instruments? | |
| Antique Labs Hurricane DT I still have mine, going on 7 years, but yes, Mine do still blow resistors. I think the suggestion of Tosh was also to put in 2 ohm resistors. I have an appointment with my electronics repair guy, who's in Middletown, CT. He's terrific with the am... | |
| Nordost or Alpha Core? No, you shouldn't worry about oscillation. There is a review on ultraaudio.com about the Veracity speaker cables and interconnects. It is rather hard to distinguish the Valhallas from the Alpha Core on digital sources. HP had the same issue years ... |
