Has anyone had any luck with Lovan equipment racks?
I had used the Lovan Soverign racks for years with good results. But they are now in my study room for other purposes since I upgraded to SolidTech Rack of Silence years ago.Below are what I had done to make the best out of the Lovan Soverign rack... 
Seeking Imformation Regarding 2016 California Audio Show
Unfortunately, the big Audio show in Taiwan happens that same weekend, and the Hong Kong show is the weekend before that. My thinking is that most manufacturers would rather focus on those two major markets than San Francisco.Although we have lots... 
San Jose, CA
I live in Sunnyvale. Would love to join.I ran one in the Bay Area called the Bay Area Audio Asylum (BAAA) a while back. We started out chatting on Audio Asylum. A few of us decided to get together, and.....The group got pretty big. I think at one ... 
from ARC to Pass ?
Another one here with an ARC Ref 2 Mk I with GNSC ref mod& Pass X350.5. Prior to the Ref 2, I was using an ARC LS25 Mk I with GNSC ref mod.Had an opportunity to spend an afternoon at a friend's place years back when he was trying to figure out... 
What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why?
I'm in the same boat and have been browsing a little bit for the past few months to see what surfaces on the market. I am planning to attend a few shows later this year and pay particular attentions to speakers.Currently some that have peaked my i... 
Isotek
I finally got to plugging the X350.5 back into the Titan with a Furutech PS-950 powercords. The issues I indicated before are now non-detectable. So I guess the BMI powercord and Isotek don't "mix" well. This is just preliminary. I will do a more ... 
Isotek
Thanks for the feedback.I am using the stock cords provided by Isotek. They have that funky connector so I can't use anything else. I did not connect the Nova to the Titan. I have 4 20A dedicated lines going into the stereo room. So the Nova was p... 
The New Audio Research Reference 6
I must be an oddball. I hated the direction ARC was going with the look started with Ref 3. I liked what I saw when the GSPre was introduced. And I am glad ARC is adopting that look for the Ref 6. (Not like I am going to run out and buy one...)Smo... 
Isotek
I installed both Nova and Titan into my system recently. Here are my impressions:1/ I had read a bunch of online reports that indicated that Titan is not current limit. But it made my Pass X350.5's bass soft and lack of air as compared to plugging... 
The New Audio Research Reference 6
I am sooooo behind. Still running the GNSC modded Ref 2 Mk I....FrankC 
Orbe motor
Open up the power supply box. There's like a screw in there (or two) that you can adjust the speed. I'll take a look at mine when I get home to give you more specifics.FrankC 
random thoughts on THE Show
I was hoping to spend 5 hours in my car this morning and drive down for two days of sonic bliss. Unfortunately, something came up and I will have to wait yet another year to attend the show.....FrankC 
Quality pre amps with home theater by-pass
I used to set up like this with my ARC pre. But thought it was a waste of premium Amperex 6922 white label PQs for watching movies, so I completely separated the two systems.FrankC 
Transrotor turntables
I went from a Michell Orbe SE to a Transrotor ZET-3.2 last year. The process had been painful as the dealer was not a man of his words. I received a table with missing parts and broken power supply. After months and months of empty promises, I had...
