| Tweak you gotta try. Post your results... I use magnets for a number of things - electronics chassis, power cord plug, transformer, pc boards, glass, wood. In fact, colored magnets have been de rigueur for many years. Heck, I even make products that incorporate colored magnets or ARE colo... | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' An expert is someone in a suit 100 miles from home. | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' My modest little headphone system has quite good holographic soundstaging, you know, considering that it's a HEADPHONE system. | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? It's a little ironic that there are such things as records and CDs that test for soundstage since the soundstage you get is going to be limited by the, uh, limitations of the system you play them on. Kinda like seeing an ad for HDTV on your old fa... | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' Soundstage height is one of the holy grails. | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? I suspect that the ambient information contained in the recording, you know, the reverberant decay, echo, etc. is three dimensional; thus, on well recorded material the size of the venue is identifiable on a reasonably good home system as Carnegie... | |
| FURUTECH DeMAG LP DEMAGNETIZER Owners It should be pointed out technique is critical when using the handheld demag devices as it is very easy to put the magnetic charge back on the disc if the button is released when the demag is too close to the disc. There is also the distance of th... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Some recordings with huge untampered-with soundstage include Dave Mason Live, Paul McCartney Live, Clash Live, Lou Reed Rock and Roll Animal, New Jersey Percussion All-Stars on Nonesuch label, and Jazz at the Pawnshop. | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? Having had the Oppo 103 (modded) for several months I'd opine there may be better players, just not players that are much better. | |
| Anyone with cyrogenic treatment experience? Mapman, maybe not everything in the world works better cryo'd, but Ferarri engines do, razor blades do, golf clubs do, golf balls do, rifle barrels do. So do cables, wires, power cords, transistors, tonearms, turntable platters, CDs, LPs, crossove... | |
| Power Cord up to $100? Analysis Plus Pro Power Oval brand spanking new is around a hundred bucks for 5 foot length. Cannot beat with stick. | |
| Scratched CDs Super glue and a Dremel Tool. Fix you right up, you betcha. | |
| Cyrogenic treatment for CD's? There are at least two ways that cryo improves CDs. First, it makes the CD stiffer and less prone to vibration by improving the physical characteristics of the metal layer and the clear layer. Second, it improves the physical characteristics of th... | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? The Vibraplane and the VPI towers are almost certainly not tuned to the same resonant freq. The Vibraplane is most likely around 2.5 Hz in vertical, I suspect the VPI towers' resonant frequency is around 4 or 5 Hz, possibly higher. Even though the... | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? The fly in the ointment when using suspended turntables on isolation devices such as Vibraplane is that if the resonant frequency of the turntable's suspension is close to that of the isolating system the two systems can interfere with each other.... |
