| Shunyata vs Electraglide vs FIM Hello Mes! | |
| Any good.... JPS To all of the above- I think that there are certain assumptions (dangerous, I know) that can be made about individuals that are truly interested in "expensive" high-end products. Namely, they have already learned that buying without listening can ... | |
| Help learn diff.between SS and Tube Cornfed- I think we all know that you prefer your ss to tubes, but I'd like to know what "high-end" tube amps that you've lived with - not necesarily expensive, but high-end in terms of sound quality. This is not meant as a put down, just that I'd... | |
| Shunyata vs Electraglide vs FIM Cyber- It is always difficult to say item X is always better than Y in all applications. However, given that I've owned and compared all of these side-by-side, I don't believe you can go wrong with FIM GOLD. The Shunyata KCv1 is a fun, BIG soundin... | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less Do yourself a favor and check out Gryphon and Goldmund for solidstate excellence as well. They may not have the advertising budget and therefore name recognition of some of those mentioned, but are sonically superior IMHO. I'd also agree with Pass... | |
| PS Audio PP300 works great, but...... Meta- I had a similar experience with the PS300. In my case, the PS didn't have as profound an effect- noticeable but not profound. However, the system sounded best after I got FIM cables throughout and when I removed the PS. I kept hearing what I... | |
| Power Chords and Line Conditioning Martice- Your question is a quite dependent on the quality of your A/C. I've lived with the PS 300 and great power cords. Ultimately in my system, the PS300 was replaced in favor of great power cords straight to the FIM duplex outlets (dedicated c... | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Sug- I've heard a couple of different "SuperMod"ed products and thought the improvements quite worthwhile. I've had nothing but good experiences with his products. Considering his mod costs, they represent good value based on sound engineering. Th... | |
| Power cord recommendation needed Hey, Nex_wave - Don't listen to a thing Bru says! He currently has FIM envy! No, actually, he is quite correct. The FIM speaker cable is every bit as good as the power cords, actually I think better! I've had top of the line MIT speaker cable, Kim... | |
| CDP for SF GUARNERI + PLINIUS 8150? I'd recommend the Electrocompaniet EMC-1. It's not embarassed by $20K separates (which I own). Just my .02. | |
| Power cord recommendation needed Nex - FIM stands for First Impression Music. I bought mine from a local dealer on the West Coast, Sound Trend at 800-726-7293. If you prefer an East Coast dealer, I'd suggest eAudioNet.com. I recommend both dealers. Goodluck. | |
| Power Cords, Should they all be from the Until I got into the Powersnakes and FIM power cords, I prefered to mix and match. With the Powersnakes, you'll vary the models throughout the system, KC frontend and Cobra/Viper on amps. The FIM is the first brand that their Gold power cord can (... | |
| Power cord recommendation needed I second Tgraffair's response. I do like the KCv1, but the FIM Gold are simply amazing. The ElectraGlide isn't even in the running in my system compared to the FIM Gold. | |

| Help! My tube preamp shocked my speaker! Gthirteen- I doubt that it is simply a "tube" problem. It sounds more like the bias on the suspect tube is off. You can try swapping the two tubes, to see if the problem stays with that particular socket. Also, simply reseating the tubes (cleaning... |
