| opinions about Myiajima Shilabe You can find more impressions about the Shilabe here. Somebody compares the Shilabe to the Dynavector XV1s, which I own. It's interesting.Best,iSanchez | |
| Review: Elrod Power Systems Gold Statement Power Cord Power cord I have the new Elrod Power Systems Statement Silver Power Cord. I simply cannot believe that a single power cord can have such a profound impact in how an audio system portrays the presence of each instrument. With this cord, it's very easy to dif... | |
| Cartridge fresh out of the box Perhaps one wrong setting may not be enough to produce such channel imbalance, but combine wrong azimuth, too much or too little anti-aliasing, mis-aligned cartridge, the turntable not leveled, too much or too little tracking force, etc., and it's... | |
| Spectron MIII MKII after market tweeks ? Hi Simon,Nice review! I recently added the Statement Silver Power Cord in my system. I was looking for a power cord specifically for my Joule Electra Marianne Memorial Edition preamp. This cord, from day one, brought up more clarity, transparency ... | |
| Turntable Speed I keep track of the frequency and voltage coming from the wall outlet, and very few times I get to see 120v @ 60Hz. This varies from different utility companies though.Best,iSanchez | |
| Turntable Speed In many instances, the power that comes from the electrical outlet is unstable. This instability tends to affect the speed of many turntable motors. So it is quite possible that electrical power is one of the main causes for your turntable to run ... | |

| Acoustic Signature Turntables Hi Dgob,The new replacement Boston Audio Mat2 came in a few days ago. After testing the Mat1, SAEC SS-300 mat, Audio Technica AT-600 Ceramic TT Mat and the Mat2, I still hold to my impressions posted earlier. The Mat2 manages to accomplish a more ... | |
| verdict on class D amps? Muralman1,It seems that you have a great match between your H2O amp/preamp. I'm glad it all worked out for you. After a few decades in this hobby, I think it all comes down to the synergy between components.Best,iSanchez | |
| verdict on class D amps? Muralman1,Can you tell us more about what preamps were used during the test? In my experience, you can have the highest regarded components and still be able to get poor sound. System synergy is extremely crucial.In the past, I've auditioned a pie... | |
| Background noise I noticed a fairly high level of background noise when I turn up the volume without playing music (and this doesn't change by unplugging the interconnects). When the volume control is at its maximum level, you even listen to a little whistle. Is i... | |
| magnepan 1.6 subwoofer recomendations My experience with Maggies is consistent with Alessandro's comments. I have a Velodyne HGS-15 servo controlled sub and it can't keep up with the Maggie's bass drivers. It just blurs everything from the mid-range down.In my first week with the Magg... | |
| Acoustic Signature Turntables Hi dgob,The Mat2 replacement should be arriving soon. In the meantime, I decided to give the Silencer platter another try. To my surprise, it is remarkably great. For some reason, the sound is quieter with more detail and more definition and exten... | |
| Magnepan 20.1 I have to disagree as well. My Maggies 3.6r do very well all those things that Bvdiman says they don't do.One thing the Maggies don't do well at all is boomy bass and diffused imaging. So if one is looking for single bass notes for all the records... | |
| Dynavector DV 507 MKII Hello Raul,I ran a quick test this morning and my first impression is that the sound is more articulate and it has more dynamic contrast with the dial set to zero and using the sub weight to set the appropriate VTF. I also perceived a bit less bas... |
