| Buckeye amps M8. If I was in the US, I would look at Buckeye. But the ones you are scheduled to hear on Sunday would be my choice in the antipodes. And Nord amps are located somewhere else entirely (I think). | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I currently have a Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated and I'm very happy with it. Are you happy with it, and it does not have the shrillness? The amp I tried to replace was a Marantz PM6005, which is also very smooth. Both are under t... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? I'd like to resurrect the analog system as I have read that I'm missing out not using it. My question is, where can I make the most improvement for the least cash outlay? I'd like to keep the SOTA table, but everything else is expendable. Than... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters It looks like I opened up a lot of eyes if not minds. My original post was to inspire those WHO DO believe or want to take the chance on lifters to have either a DIY or cost-effective option. It might move from belief towards something else, ... | |

| Power cords or power conditioner Also - AC noise (THD) is not something you consciously hear from your speakers in most cases. But when it’s removed, if effective in your system, you may notice a quietness that surrounds vocals and instruments that wasn’t there before, allowing ... | |
| Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers I have heard those speakers with and without subs at a dealer in Portland and the spatial difference was not subtle. They were also spread farther apart from each other than "normal" and severely toed in. I don't remember which amps were driving ... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters My question: Assuming you believe cable lifters make a difference (and I do) what is the cause? Are they preventing transmission of floor borne vibration, eliminating electrical or magnetic interference from the floor/carpet or eliminating conduc... | |
| Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers i have considered a small sub woofer, but haven’t made a move on it. @kellymack ^That^ often gives the most boost. And if done right it is more like bi-amping… Basically the sub notes get largely striped off, from the main speakers. if you ... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters For those that think this is HOKUM, take a brand new fully charged Car battery and set it on a concrete floor overnight and tell me how well that works out for you. https://lujackhyundai.com/service-and-maintenance/why-cant-you-put-a-car-batt... | |
| Why not? With the power cord all we have some testimony that someone believes it works. So we know that “they think it works”… in their place… with their gear. But that does not tell us if it work on our gear, with our place in the power grid. @holm... | |
| Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers Bi amping with keep the upper frequencies from getting clipped, and more sore if there is some active XO happening. So I would bi-amp with an active XO, or some active XO type of filter, if been a Harrison Labs RCA job. But bridging is probably ... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters I am not sure glass is optimal?? If one likes the idea low dielectric material not slowing down the elective field, then something a lower dielectric constant than glass would be better. But just try some glasses as well as some plastic cups… | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? Isn't this accomplishing the same thing as a 3 x 5 diffuser panel? And also providing way to sneak a diffuser past the SO (significant other) 😎 I am thinking about some veneer/laminated fish or manta rays, to hang on a macrame type of hanging.... |
