| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @oregonpapa I would very much enjoy hearing from Tim about his creation. Perhaps he can explain much that has led some on this forum to go on the attack against the TC claims.Do you agree with the following statement by thecarpathian about more... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I missed this thread started on Xmas Day. I have read all 6 pages of postings and as someone who has reviewed gear/tweaks in the past, I always re-read my own reviews to check on whether my review expresses genuine enthusiasm or if I have strayed... | |
| Recommended Preamp for pairing an Adcom 555II Amp and Theil CS 3.5 speakers +1 pops! As I read your OP ?, the first thing to come to mind would be a vintage cj preamp. What a nice system that would give you! | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? Three positive changes:1. Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun speaker cables (2 pair)2. Replacing PS Audio PPP with a P5. An enormous improvement.3. Replacing 24 year old Aragon 47k phono stage with Sutherland KC Vibe. | |
| Recommendations for a phono amp You might want to consider Ron Sutherland's latest offering, the $895 KC Vibe with 48 volt outboard power supply. It has loading and gain adjustments. It may, however, not be a good choice for very low output moving coils. | |
| Tubes I have had and am having great luck with the Genalex Gold Lions. I'm using Cryoset (cryogenically treated) 12AU7s in my line stage and a Cryoset Gold Lion GZ34 as the rectifier in my SACD outboard power supply. They sound great and they last.😀 | |
| Wrong way to clean a stylus! @parrotbee Vaguely. If I'm thinking of the same thing as you, wasn't it a green abrasive paper to clean the stylus??? | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? @andysf What? Must be some humor there but I must be too tired to appreciate it...big day entertaining relatives. 😳 | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? You should check out ali express for CDs and SACDs. Some great discs to be had at super prices. Many discs they offer there I have been unable to find elsewhere! | |
| Equalization With limited exceptions, having tone controls/eq in the circuit is thought to cause a degree of corruption to the signal that takes the system a step away from the realism that is the end goal of a high end audio system. | |
| What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year? My daughter bought me a 2 CD set of Hans Zimmer's "Live in Prague" album. The first CD will not play no matter what I do. Can't see any nasty scratches that might account for my player's inability to read the disc. Oh well. Back to Amazon it s... | |
| My first post Greetings Ponchit. If you can do what randy-11 asked above that would help us to know where you're at in the audiodom adventure.When you have time, posting your system in the "Virtual Systems" on A'gon would be awesome. | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING @stfoth Can't respond about hearing an audible impact. The only time I've experienced multiple speaker pairs in the same room is at a dealer's and they are not usually interested in moving other speakers out of the room to accommodate to a custo... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT No. The Quatro's set up is more complex because of the built-in powered subwoofers requiring the equalizer controls to be set according to the bass response in the space the Quatro's occupy. | |
| Best course of action @phastrone OK. The options for using the Vandersteen 2wq with your integrated amp wouldn't be practical with so many different sources. Good luck! |
