Review: Tritium Electronics AC Power Triphazer AC filter
Audiojerry,I concur with your assessment of the AC Power Triphazer. The impact of the triphazer becomes even greater as the unit "breaks in". I too use the triphazer on my transport, but have found to have a similar impact using it on my preamp an... 
New cable from TG Audio
Bob,I have two HSR-I2 (i squared)Gen II power cords with 20A connectors for my Denali monoblocks. Would it be beneficial to upgrade the i2 to the "688"s? Will the new 688s be available with 20A connectors on the amp end?Ken 
Preamp dilemma...
Have you heard of the Opal Wyetech Labs preamp? Might be what you are looking for (any budget limitations?)Ken 
Sistrum Platforms
Yes I second Sc53's comments. The StarSound company was very responsive to my questions and presented a very professional and educated approach in dealing with customers about their products.Ken 
Sistrum Platforms
Yes, I have the SP-6 Model Sistrium Rack and is very pleased with the performance of the the stand and its' effect on my system's overall sonic presentation. Excellent at reducing vibrational noise, presents a balanced focused image, that is locke... 
Best source of lead shot?
Lak,I second your suggestion. I use the Micro bearing in my Audio Point Sistrium Rack, with excellent results..quieter background and noisefloor, rack stability and greater image focus.Ken 
Triphazers - Use them?
Ljgj,I use the level 20 triphazers (the number indicates the size of the unit as it relates to the level of correction to be applied to the signal path in question) between the amp and speakers. The higher the number of the triphazer the more the ... 
Triphazers - Use them?
I, like Illusion, use triphazers in my system, with very favorable results from a "tweak" such as this. As with all tweaks, UMMV depending on your system components, interconnects, speaker cables and condition of your AC source..etc. However what ...

Heat Shrink Tubing - How ???
I use a std soldering iron to gently rub the heat shrink tubing to start the reduction process.This way you can also "form" the tubing around the wire..etc. as the tubing shrinks.Ken 
Best 20A IEC power cord
Ozfly, From a very simplistic view, we can use the equation P=VI where Power = voltage times current. Using the Denali specs (from their Website) of 400W at idle and 2000W max, at idle I (current) = 3.44Amps and at the extreme, Imax = 17.24Amps. G... 
Best 20A IEC power cord
Ozfly,I also own the Denali amps (2 used in monoblock configuration) on which I use a TG Audio HSR i2 power cord. They were my original 15A cords that Bob Crump reterminated with the 20A connector for $50.00ea including shipping. These power cords... 
Anyone heard or own the Osborne Titan Speakers?
Apv,I own a pair of the Osborn Epitome speakers w/extra woofers and think they are excellent speakers. The drivers are from Focal, the same ones used in the JMlab Utopia line of speakers. In fact, if you have auditioned a pair of micro utopia spea... 
BAT VK-3i / BAT VK-30 or Herron VTSP-1A pre amp
My vote would be for the Herron 1A. During my search for a preamp, I auditioned both the BAT 3i and the VTSP-1A. The personal conveniences listed in the postings above, are true and a very good selling point, however when it was all said, I chose ... 
Anyone tried Voodoo or TG Audio PCs?
I also have three versions of TG Audio's power cords: HSR "i", HSR "i2" and HSR "A". I use the "i" on my front-end equipment (DAC), the "A" on my tube equipment (pre-amp) and the "i2" on my SS power amps (mono-blocks). ALL the PCs are excellent an...
