| Jorma or Kimber KS speaker cables and IC Thanks for the heads up. I've never had the opportunity to hear Jorma cables. I have no doubt that upper echelon cables from a reputable manufacturer are a significant contribution to a resolving system. I've been a Nordost customer for many years. | |
| which turntable for the future? If I understand correctly, you're looking for something that outperforms the Michell and will "hold you over" til you get a Tech Das. Such problems! First, I love the Gyro w/SME V. But it seems that you're determined to try something else. Okay... | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs Big plus for almost anything by Dead Can Dance. Can't believe no one has yet listed Avalon by Roxy Music. And finally Mountains of the Moon by The Grateful Dead | |
| I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I... "I don’t want to be an audiophile, what am I?" If you buy high performance audio gear to improve the sound of your music, then you’re an audiophile. Don’t be a wuss, own it. United we stand! (or sit, as the case may be) | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? "When making changes or adding things to your system, what makes the bigger difference in sound quality on preamp‘s and power amps? Interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, or fuses?" This possibly could have been phrased more clearly, but ... | |
| Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands While I suppose that REL knows what's best for REL, those theories may not be universally applicable. I have a pair of JL Audio e110 subs up on Isoacoustics pucks. They still shake the floor when they should, but with less boom and overhang. There... | |
| Fancy Fuse for Regenerator? I replaced the stock fuse in my Exact Power ep15a with an Acme CFC fuse and really enjoyed the results; noticeably more lively overall. I'd been using an SR Orange fuse in my integrated amp, and decided to try the Acme. My "expectation bias" fav... | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover Ozzy, I could put it in front of my Cary sli-80, but that would accommodate only one input; either my cd player or my 'table. Or I could first put my two sources into a passive preamp, then that pre into the CR-1, then split into the Cary and the... | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover Congrats, ozzy! I dream of the CR-1. I have a pair of JL Audio e110s connected like REL. Since I run an integrated that lacks the ability to "loop" the CR-1 into the system, it's going to stay a dream, at least for a while. Enjoy! | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @cleeds +1 I've successfully used Acme, HiFi tuning, and Synergistic fuses. I've got nearly 200 hours on my Synergistic Purple. In my system, in my opinion, to my ears with nearly 40 years in this hobby, the Purple fuse is one of the most cost ef... | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? Saw Los Lobos Sept 18th (outdoors)Saw Marty Stuart Oct 15th at a venue with strictly enforced vaccine mandate.Have tix for Tedeschi/Trucks Dec 1st - that feels risky though I'm boostered and will be wearing an N-95 mask.Be careful out there! | |
| The Most Cost Effective Tweak @rc22Right.All I'm saying is that the closer I get my speakers to "perfect" symmetry in the room, the better focused the soundstage becomes.I have a laser-pointer type measuring device that seems tailor made to this obsessive hobby.Other cost effe... | |
| The Most Cost Effective Tweak @herman I think that ultra-precise speaker placement is less about the position of your head and more about the speakers' relation to the room.I'm not familiar with Wilson's rationale. | |
| Using solid state rectifiers on Cary SLI80 Amplifier Performing the surgery you contemplate, unless you are the Cary repair department, will significantly reduce the resale value of the amp.I bought a new (tube rectified) SLI-80 a couple of years ago. I ordered all the factory mods available. These ... | |
| Critical listening and altered states @oregonpapa You had the good stuff! |
