Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
Yeah I have no interest in experimenting with tweaks I'd rather listen to and buy music. I wonder if I put magical risers under my drum kit would change the sound? Maybe a sack of magical rocks on the kit will make them sound better? Or maybe a be...

You don't need risers with well designed cables spend the money on music and don't buy into the snake oil Cash cow tweak. Audio is getting as bad as the video game industry $$$$$$$$ 
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
I'd assume it'd be a good chunk of change to compare to the gammas. I've had no desire to look at other speakers since I bought the gamma summits nor do I have any desire to change any of my cables Dale made or the essence sapphire amp. 
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
I own the gamma summit speakers, essence sapphire amp and all cables made by Dale including an shunyata king cobra power cord modified by Dale, his equipment is top notch. And Duane randleman at automated lifestyle would be the most knowledgeable ... 
Need Integrated Amp with Moving Coil Input
I'm thinking of doing the same thing, downsizing. My amp is an Essence Sapphire designed by Dale Pitcher, Musical Design sp1 pre amp and a Fosgate signature 2 phono stage. And the only thing I've heard that sounds pretty close to what I have is th... 
Need Integrated Amp with Moving Coil Input
The aesthetic is part tube and part solid state hybrid and has no grain or mechanical character. Solid state and tube lovers love it, it's an awesome integrate which can be upgraded in time.

essence jasper 2ch amp
So 6 months have passed since the purchase of the Essence amp since then i ended up with Dales higher end interconnects and speaker cables and those changes made my system so organic and effortless sounding. I can say with an honest face that my s... 
What speakers for 10k?
Hey maprik, the wavetouch are a very well made speaker and sound big for their size but they are just a little to brite for my taste, but i think if you ran them with a tube pre amp they would be outstanding speakers. I really cant say anything ba... 
Which dac or other suggestions
Why are we still talking DAC when amp is hooked into pre outs of a receiver? I've been on the merry go round of sound sucking because of this. an avr job is digital, HT, playstation, cable and when i went with a pre with HT bypass sound changed dr... 
Which dac or other suggestions
I would invest in a pre amp, because hooking an amp into the pre outs of an avr is not the route to go. pre outs on an avr are a after thought the avr job is digital first. some pre amps have pretty nice Dacs built in and have HT bypass. trust me ...
