| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? When the cat gets on the equipment pick it up, put it your lap and pet it. If you have a dedicated room shut the door. I love all animals but they are not allowed in my audio room. Joe Nies | |
| The best plug in filter ever! Greetings to all, It’s been a long couple of weeks. I replaced my MIT Z Stabilizer conditioner with a Audience Forte V8, replaced the 2 MIT AC filter outlets for my amps with a hospital grade outlet for the subwoofer amp and a Furutech GTX NCF ou... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? Greetings I have open book shelves on my back wall. They hold my technical books and years worth of audio magazines. Also a few diffuser/absorption panels and record cabinets.This has worked very well for me. I will add 2 bass tube traps soon. A... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems Greetings, Does your soundstage have width, depth and height? Can you hear the difference between a grand piano and upright piano? Can you clearly hear all the words to a song the singer is singing? Can you clearly hear the background singers?... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @verafiaudio Thanks Mark. It’s great to know you backup the products you distribute. @ozzy Thanks for suggesting that the MIT Z conditioner could be holding back on dynamics. I don’t care for AC conditioners most of the time. I’ll be happier once... | |
| Budget re-cabling Greetings @kraftwerkturbo I suggest you look at Kimber Cables. The 4PR or 4TC cables are a little past your budget but you will be very happy with them. Try going to your local audio dealer that carries Kimber. Try and buy them un-terminated, yo... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @verafiaudio Thanks Mark. I really want them to work in my system. I hate returning items that I purchased. I should receive my new outlet strip in a few weeks. At that time I will try them again in my main system. Mark, by the way this is Joe up... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @ozzy I had them plugged in my main system as you suggested. They are now plugged into a wall outlet that feeds my HT/2 channel system. Once I receive my new outlet strip I will follow your suggestions. I did purchase 2 of the filters Joe Nies | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @ozzy Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered an outlet strip from Audience to replace my Z Stabilizer. I have been thinking about replacing the Z anyway. Once I have it in my system and get familiar with its sound I will try the Puron again. I... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! Greetings I’m sorry to say that my experience with the Puron filters is opposite of everyone else. I had them plugged into my system for 10 days. My system became harsh and brittle. My sound stage went from a wonderful 3D image to a 2D image. T... | |
| Memory foam as bass treatment? @audiodwebe That’s the best way to go. I like the GIK devices. Their prices are reasonable? Joe Nies | |
| Memory foam as bass treatment? Greetings The memory foam will absorb some frequencies and can cut back on reflections. You need to give it a try. Maybe start in the corners, or first reflection points. I don’t think they will absorb the low low frequencies. We all have to st... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! Greetings I received my Puron filters the other day. After plugging them in I waited 2 hours and listened to the system. I thought they added more bass and better presentation of the sound stage. After being plugged in for 24 hours my system sou... | |
| Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers! Greetings I purchased a pair of Janis W1 subwoofer’s in 1982. I still use them in my main system. They are intended for music only, not for HT. To my ears they sound wonderful. The subs are passive so I provide a separate amp and external crosso... | |
