| Which components to isolate I've found that isolating the cd player or anything didgital on a separate line always made for better, more relaxed sound.I run four dedicated lines-one for the cd player,-one each for the power amps and a fourth line fot the phono stage, turntab... | |
| Rivaling or Beyond the ESL 57 for Magical Midrange Never heard or seen them in the real world, but the audio mags seem to like the Audience model ones as nice shelf size monitors.No clue if they sound like 57's,but I've never heard those on a shelf.Mine were always well out into the room, and they... | |
| Nordost Norse2 series I am very happy with the Frey V2 phono cables.The more lp's I play ,the better they sound.I suppose I'll have to upgrade my Heimdal V1 to a pair of Frey V2 to get the full effect. | |
| Acoustat 4 Monitor: still actual? Well I didn't find any monitor 4, but I am very happy with my 3 panel X's.I've had Quad 63, stacked 57's, Martin Logan Sequel ,2 pair of CLS iiz, and had the 3 panel medallian transformer(minus servo amp).I've had the amps modded, and upgraded a l... | |
| Review: Quad 57 When I got my first pair of 57's I listened to them stock, that is,on their own wooden feet and set up as the Quad web site suggested.In my large room, the stacked Quads in ridgid solid wood stands that got them 1 foot off the floor was better.Aga... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I also had problems with the 10 guage Furutech stranded wire when I used it for a DIY power cord even using Furutech plugs.THe wire is very stiff and a bit thick on the plastic insulation.I gave up, went back to 10 guage Romex with better furutech... | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components I really wasn't expecting that much of an improvement when I replaced the entry level Cu IEC from Furutech with the Furutech FR 48 R.Wow.I was curious if I would notice much if any improvement,because the entry level IEC Furutechs were much better... | |
| Review: Quad 57 I've tried to explain this before, but most times people don't understand.It's one of those, you have to hear it for yourself scenarios.But here goes.Stacked Quad 57's give you more bass.By that I mean there is more bass in the room, but not deepe... | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components Yes they are but # 10 guage, and the breakers are 20 amp. | |
| Review: Acoustat Model 2 Speaker My first pair of Acoustats, was the model thre with the Medallian mod.I powered it with a Conrad Johnson MV75A-1, and the CJ Premier 2 pre amp.I have fond memories of that system, my first foray into Highe end audio which included the Oracle Dephi... | |
| Review: Quad 57 I had stacked 57's and they were magic,more of everything you already enjoy about the 57's.If you ever have access to another pair, stack them,I had the stands made from wood,they aren't hard to do and the combo of stacked 57's and an Atmaspher S3... | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components I have a similar system,in that my two power amps are on two separate dedicated lines, and so is the cd player on a third dedicated line.The phono stage, TT,and Lightspeed attenuator(for the cd/sacd player)are plugged into a Hydra8 power condition... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thank you George,my intent is to let people know that your volume control isn't going to do nasty things if someone uses cables that are a different length from what you suggest.I admit I was hesitant to try this configuration,but I wanted to remo... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? If anyone is a little put off because George says the LSA is sensitive to the length of interconnect I can state that my 20 ft interconnect doesn't present a problem.There is no lack of clarity, no loss of treble or bass and no loss of volume.It s... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Thanks, looks like I have the heavey duty toggle switches.My amps are always on, in standby, the toggle switch just puts the amp into full power/play mode.It replaces a circuit that was used on the stock amps to turn the amps on to full power when... |
