| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I can understand why someone would think that a passive pre amps and a LSA are lacking something compared to a tube active pre-amp.It's the noise that is seldom ever noticed until it's gone and if you've made the mistake to feel that the pre sound... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I have experienced similar things messing with power tweaks.At first you really like what's going on.Then you start to think that there is a bit of mellowing or smoothing out.We wonder if something is missing in the music.And that would be correct... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I stayed on the grid.I couldn't afford to sell my system at a loss and buy new gear.Instead, I invested $40.00 dollars in some ERS cloths and did a bit of DIY to shield the wires inside my phono stage.Not as dramatic a change as going to all batte... | |
| Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology? No I haven't tried one - yet. | |
| Power Cords Rule I've been pleasantly surprised with the improvement in sound my system, now that I've done some more tweaks to the power delivery.I've found that Stillpoints ERS cloth works for me, and so does a couple of Nordost QV2.My sound is now more coherent... | |
| Stillpoints ERS cloth for EMI/RFI I taped cut pieces around the transformers in the power supply of my Steelhead,on top of some caps,and around the power IEC.I also wrapped another smaller linear power supply to my LTS volume control.I put some on top of my Furman IT 1500 balanced... | |
| Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology? I have purchased a second QV2.This one is placed in my Hydra on the open receptacle my phono stage/pre is plugged into.What I liked about one goes double for two.I never realized there was so much junk on the line,because I run dedicated lines and... | |
| Stillpoints ERS cloth for EMI/RFI I bought two sheets.It works for me.I plan to buy more. | |
| Fake Audiophiles I was reading some posts on another site debating break in of audio gear.Something ticked.Maybe the folks who love the sound of vintage gear do so because that gear over the course of years of playing has truly been broken in.Perhaps the folks who... | |
| Power from Wall Good to hear you are going ahead with the 20 amp dedicated line.If it was me, I would add a second 20 amp line.One line for the Torus and one for the PS.This way you can really isolate the digital and video gear from the analogue gear.My audio onl... | |
| sweep tubes and audio application? My Acoustat servo amps for my AcoustatX speakers use 4 6HB5 tubes per amp, and it's also an OTL. Made in the mid 1970's ,they have stood the test of time.So using TV tubes isn't something new. | |
| Fake Audiophiles My take on vintage audio-some of it stands up to the best of today.And, a lot of that great vintage stuff, was ridiculed and called obscenely expensive back in it's day.Some things never change.If a piece of gear that is expensive gets a good revi... | |
| Fake Audiophiles I've never heard of a fake audiophile.There are different levels of involvement in this hobby.Sometimes an enthusiast is hampered by a lack of funds to get as deeply involved as he would like to.Or, sometimes those with the funds,just don't feel t... | |
| Power Cords Rule I like the concept of battery power.I enjoyed my time with a Sutherland PHD,and at one time toyed with the idea of using gear from Vinnie Rossi and get off the grid.But I'd already invested too much time and money on dedicated lines, upscale power... | |
| Power Cords Rule I first discovered the magic of a better power cord in 1987.I had Quad 63,but the Quad(thin as a hair)power cords weren't long enough.So I got some cheap male ends and cobbled the old Quad IEC together with some 14 gauge solid core romex.To my ear... |
