| Avalon speakers,redux I am an Avalon owner, and the thing I can think of is the Eidolons are hard to place in a room. They are very accurate transducers. The product lines below Eidolon are easier to place. I have had mine for 3 years, and I was at a dealer yesterday, ... | |
| Another Cryogenic Freeze Article HFNRR Long term effects?? Haven't noticed any in my cables... They still work well (sound great). Never tried tubes -- scared to break the glass with the chill.In theory, the cryo freeze should not "wear off" -- the process is supposed to compress the g... | |
| Another Cryogenic Freeze Article HFNRR In response to Megasam:I used to work with Liquid Nitrogen as a part of my experimentation at work. Since then I have changed jobs and no longer have access to the Nitrogen.As far as the procedure, it wasn't very scientific... Chill down was achie... | |
| Another Cryogenic Freeze Article HFNRR I have done the cryo freeze with my AQ Diamond X3 and Diamond Extreme. Made the cables sound smoother with more "air and space". I used Liquid Nitrogen..... | |
| Horizontal Bi-Amping question I personally would use either the Adcom by itself or 4 of the 5 channels of the Marantz for bi-amping your speakers. I would not mix the two amps on the same pair of speakers for several reasons.1) Each amplifier has a sonic signature. Chances are... | |
| What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma? Tesla is a 'good' tube.... There may better IMHO... It all depends on your system, ears, wallet and the desire to tweek. I liked the stock LN tube from CAL $40 (per my other post), and Kevin Deal has a tube suggestion (which I can't recall) that w... | |
| What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma? Hissing -- Most likely the tube needs replaced.I used AudioQuest power cords with the Ferrite removed... | |
| What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma? Another good upgrade is to change the 3 connectors to the upgrade versions from CAL ($60). Don't attempt this on your own unless you are confident in soldering skills, electronic technician abilities, and are very careful. The unit must be totally... | |
| What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma? Replace the 12AX7 output tube with the low noise version from Cal Labs (~$40). Also, ditch the optical digital interconnect and get a high quality (preferably silver) unshielded .5M digital coaxial interconnect. Set the units aside of one another ... | |
| Room Acoustics JDWEK -- It was kind of a funny scene... I am also a fan of Bugs and it could have been good 'toon material. I also caught the business from more than one that saw a screw every 3 inches... My floor doesn't make any noise any more...Mes -- One thi... | |

| Room Acoustics With the Eidolons, you may want to move them slightly away from or closer to the wall. This shouldn't substitute for troubleshooting the source of the noise. I have a pair of Avalons, and they are very picky of room position. I had a similar pheno... | |

| Woodworkers ? Agreed that scratch repair on finished wood is a learned process with many technique approaches based on the wood, the finishing process, the quality of the original finish, etc. For me, if abrasives are out. If abrasives are used then the whole s... |
