| Mapleshade Silclear Ckorody,Helpful information. Yes, ultimate goal is to get rid of all brass. In the meantime, I am trying some poor man's silver plating. | |
| Mapleshade Silclear Ckorody,You said "Also it leaves silver stains on connector housings". Actually, I think that is the point, to produce a semi-fluid silver "stain" on the blades of your connectors as opposed to a visible layer of silver and oil goo. I am skeptical... | |
| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs Mb9061,Let me put it this way:The Shunyata Diamondback was about 50% better than than the Venom for 2.5x the money.The Taipan was about 15% better than the Diamondback for 2.5x the money.This of course was what I found listening with a budget CD p... | |
| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs I know this is long after the original post, but perhaps somebody else will be interested in what I have found. I just tested the Shunyata Diamondback power cord versus the company's Taipan Helix VX and Venom cords, and tested all these against a ... | |
| Mapleshade Silclear Curious if people who were enthusiastic about this product are still enjoying silclear several years after first application? If you changed equipment or wires, did you reapply the product? Sounds like biggest problems had to do with application o... | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Hey Rebbi,That's great! When you report back on the Bottlehead, interested to hear how you like your "new" system at this point in its life???PS - I am intrigued by these interconnects:http://marc.stager.com/silver/Haven't heard 'em, but want to t... | |
| Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments Hadn't hear about Mitchell... notable passing. Listen to his work on the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival recording backing Hendrix and Billy Cox. Wow!http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/11/jimi_hendrixs_drummer_mitch_mi.html | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Thanks, I have three Hi-Fi Tuning fuses in my integrated amp now - found same positive effect as reported here. Will try in CDP next. | |
| Decco from Preachtree audio Sugith,That is really too bad. I happened to be in an audition room this week with a Decco using a modest Panasonic BluRay player as the source and connected to Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby grand speakers, and again (once set up properly) I was ... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Albertporter,Curious what affect changing fuses in your source component(s) had on sound quality? I have heard that the effect of silver fuses was greatest in the amplifier. | |
| good speaker with Sound stage behind???? Further break in of the RS8's may help some, but I think not dramatically for these speakers at this point in their life. Clear your head and give them another careful listen in a few weeks. They are very nice speakers, but I still think the sound... | |
| Naim CD5i a decent upgrade? The Naim would sound different - more drive and bounce, less polish and detail. Up to you whether that sounds better...PS - your college budget is different than mine was :-) | |
| good speaker with Sound stage behind???? Quad 21 L2Totem Sttafaperion audio Intimus 6T (Internet vendor)These all sound very nice for around $1500 and wont be quite as in your face as the Monitor Audios. Stay away from metal tweeters if you are struggling with the RS8's treble. Good luck. | |
| Power Cord Question I use a surplus 16 gauge shielded cord from an old laser printer with my CD player and it makes a noticeable improvement in sound quality compared to the stock cord. I would try whatever you have on hand and and listen for differences in terms of ... | |
| Latest Stereophile - Recommended Components Rja,I actually think the "recommended components lists" are helpful for sending me in a particular direction for an audition. I can then listen to the gear next to it or whatever the sales person want to show me in comparison. I don't always agree... |
