| What is your favorite low-tech tweek? A month ago I bought some Stillpoint ERS material from a local dealer. ERS material reportedly absorbs RFI. I placed a sheet over my cdp and made panels to cover the sides and front of my amp. Well, the results were very favorable. My system playe... | |
| Shunyata versus Elrod May I add several more points. Clean power, line conditioning, RFI and EMI, component vibration, and speaker placement are other important things that may affect your system. In some instances, having the right isolation or de-coupling device or p... | |
| Shunyata versus Elrod I am a consumer and in my personal opinion, the most desirable power cables for your system are driven by your personal taste, environment, and the synergy that you get with the components and speakers that you are using. Sometimes, room treatment... | |
| The Scariest Story Ever Told? I don't think my system would ever be the same again after playing Adam Sandler songs! | |
| The Scariest Story Ever Told? Rel, thanks for your recommendation. However, I purchased my amplifier directly from the one and only David Berning!Many thanks to everyone for your stories, some are hilarious, spooky or catastrophic. | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables I am recommending the Jaden "standard" or "signature" interconnect cables, they are absolutely sublime! These cables are made by Ric Cummins who is the same designer/manufacturer of Room Lens, Dark Matter Shelf, and Rosinante Dulcinea speakers. Th... | |
| what speaker cables would you use? I know that I am weighing in on this thread rather late however, I'll give it a shot. I too am using the David Berning ZH-270 amplifier and a speaker similar to the Merlin. May I suggest Jaden IC's and speaker cables that are made by Ric Cummins, ... | |
| Power cord for an REL Sub The Mac Delta 1 power cord is very, very good with a REL subwoofer. If you are lucky enough to locate a used one for under $300, I'd recommend it. | |
| Cable suggestions? Opinions needed... May I suggest Jaden IC's and speaker cables made by Rosinante (www.roomlens.com). The cable designer is Ric Cummins, the same fellow who introduced the Room Lens, Dark Matter shelf, and Dulcinea speakers. The Jaden is pure silver and offers superb... | |

| cdp to amp A lot depends upon how effeciant your speakers are and the size of your room. If your speakers are very effecient and linear, then using a cdp with a volume control may have enough drive with your Bel Canto amp in a small to mid size room. You may... | |
| What's your High End best buy/unknown components? I am extremely pleased with the pure silver hand-made cables (interconnect and speaker) that I purchased from Ric Cummins 6-months ago. The "Jaden" cables were designed by Mr. Cummins, who is also the designer and manufacturer of the Rosinante Dul... | |
| Review: Argent Room Lens - Ric Cummins Cables Speaker cable Often I have read threads and reviews about interconnect and speaker cables that are suppose to be amazingly good. I must admit that I have succumbed to buying some of these cables and have gotten very good results. I had been quite satisfied with... | |
| Looking for the right interconnect I recently purchased the Jaden Interconnects that are pure silver. The notion that silver IC's are always bright is a myth. When silver IC's are done right, the system can have great tonal balance with lots of detail. The Jaden IC certainly has th... |
