| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Frank, can you get your system on a better circuit than the one with a wall switch? One dedicated 20 amp would go a lot farther in power supply. Two would be better if expanding your system in the future. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Frank---Yes, the whole is now greater than the sum of the parts. The better connections are creating a more seamless energy pathway throughout all components. According to claim, the TC solves the problem of oxidation and continues to improve th... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Listening to Lee Ritenour's "World of Brazil" on CD, and the percussion is popping out and hanging in the room with a dimensionality not present before Total Contact. Floor toms, kick bass, congas--all with a crisper attack and a fully extended, s... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic A great day--my TC kit arrived Friday noon, only 48 hours since ordered, so I went right to work. I painted each end of six power cords' connections, my one pair of interconnects, four banana plugs to REL subs, speaker cable spade lugs to amps, ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Finally placed my order for a Total Contact kit. I am stoked for another jump in performance! | |
| High End is Dead? Wondering if high-end audio is doing better with younger people in Europe and Asia than in the US. The market for manufacturers is spread upon the earth--it has to be in a lot of places, if not here in the US. Schubert, I live six blocks from Au... | |
| Dust Cover for Amps Thank you! | |
| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies Equalizer settings left on can account for a mysteriously "enhanced" sound. | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Listening to Al Stewart's "Modern Times", "Time Passages". and "Year of the Cat", all engineered/produced by Alan Parsons. These are all sonic treats on standard CD--lush productions. "Past, Present and Future" is also great for its themes throu... | |
| Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?... The larger Maggies are more imposing than attractive---can't have everything. My ARC amps sound a lot better than they look, as well. The whole setup is quite big in a medium-size room---not so aesthetic, so I repurposed the living room as my lis... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I used Furutech's NanoTech, the squalene-gold solution years ago when I built some power cords. It's a good anti-oxidant for bare copper in a crimped connection. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @perfectpathtech, You're quite welcome, and thank you for the mention. I look forward to using your contact enhancer on all my connections--I believe the results will be very enjoyable. Best wishes on your success, Joseph Freeman | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Perhaps this observation has been made; connectors are shafts and blades that fit snugly into tubes and sheaths and also are spades clamped down onto surfaces, all being metal that has been either drawn through dies, cast or machined and then surf... | |
| Esoteric K-01 vs ARC CD 9 Great review, statman. I am leaning toward the CD9 because I will need a pre-amp, which will probably be and ARC model---thanks for your assessment! |
