| Tonearms: Ripoff? You think that’s a rip off? Wait’ll you take a gander 👀 at cartridge prices. Things are tough all over. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat No problemo. It’s like applying the stuff to tube pins ... It’s not for everyone. There is some risk of shorting. On the other hand, no goats, no glory. 🐐 🐐 Helpful hint to anyone trying it, don’t load up on coffee prior to. 😬 | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat The teeny tiny little brush on the applicator works for me. But it depends on what the connector looks like as to whether there’s any risk. For Audioquest Carbon HDMI connector there is no risk of creating a short inside the connector. A tooth pic... | |
| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM Actually the link does explain what eventually happened. I’d say it looks like the complainer jumped the gun. | |
| Speaker vibration isolation I feel it’s only fair to interject that whilst cement slabs do have their advantages they are nevertheless subject to the very low frequency vibration produced by the motion of the Earth’s crust, which pushes the cement slab just a tad. That is wh... | |
| ... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects... Worrywarts = audiophiles 😬People who can hear it = audiophiles 🤗 | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. The original CD was in a paper gatefold jacket, that should be the best one. | |
| ... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects... “What’s in the air,” cable settling time and cable burn in time are what we call INDEPENDENT VARIABLES. They must be considered individually independent of the others. And they are not the only variables involved, either. | |
| Speakers positionning I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the best soundstage along with everything else can ONLY be achieved using a foolproof method like the speaker placement track on the XLO Test CD or similar test CD. The better the room is treated for acou... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Saw Jimi Hendrix at Merriweather Post outdoors in MD circa 1969. A monster thunderstorm came out of nowhere and Hendrix’ guitar picked up Purple Haze a local radio station was playing since he was in town. Hendrix held his guitar up to the microph... | |
| Speakers positionning That’s weird. Most speakers will produce the best soundstage, frequency response, dynamics when pointing straight ahead, with no tie in or very little toe in. Of course speakers should be placed very carefully in the ideal locations for the magic ... | |
| Speaker vibration isolation For starters, getting back to reality for a moment, Vibrapods are not (rpt not) designed to support objects with high centers of gravity. You know, like speakers. They the Vibrapods don’t have enough lateral support. That’s why you see a lot of de... | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? He was a modder. His fadda was a modder. His mudda was a modder. Whoa! His mudda was a modder?! 😛 | |
| ... what is Settling Time in cables and interconnects... How much time do you have.? We haven’t even talked about vibration and static electrical charges and their effects on cables. It all depends on where you get off the whole cable thing as to how much effort and cost you’re willing to commit to the ... | |
| Speaker vibration isolation Without mentioning any names, somebody is not yet on board the mass-on-spring vibration isolation train 🚂. There is a reason why some isolation devices are more complex and more expensive than others. For example, let’s take two parameters for exa... |
