| Vibration Transistors are affected by vibration, so is the amp's internal wiring, among other things. I have isolated a great many solid state and tube amps, maybe hundreds, including John Curl's JC-1s, the big Jeff Rowland amp, the really big 200 lb Classe... | |
| Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players Faint heart n'e'r won fair maiden.I voided my Oppo 103 warranty before I ever received the unit. | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips There are lots of capacitors and lots of semiconductors, all of which should get Capacitor chips and Semiconductor chips, respectively. Coils and inductors and transformers should get the transformer/coil/inductor chip. When I say End I mean Top o... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips I have had very good results with one cable chip wrapped around the copper wire, the one for my audio system, as it comes into the circuit breaker. That operation usually requires removing the panel cover. I have had additional improvements by sti... | |

| Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre I'm using RCA VT-231 with two Sylvania Bad Boys in a headphone amp.. Terrific combination, but I have to say these tubes really benefit from Herbies Tube Dampers. In fact, two dampers down at the bottom of each tube is an entirely different ball g... | |
| Platforms for Quad ESL Speakers The quads are dipoles. As we all know, there is no coupling of dipoles to floor. That's why the Arcici stands work so well. I had the Quads 57s on Arcici stands. | |
| Best Rock Song Of ALL TIME? You guys are close. Very close. It's actually Whole Lotta Love. | |
| Platforms for Quad ESL Speakers The only way you're going to get any significant improvement is to (first) remove the grills. The plastic dust covers don't help the sound, either. You might be able to find some Arcici stands for the Quads somewhere. |
