| AC condition Run a dedicated line to your electronics and make sure the AC is on the other side of the panel from the dedicated line.If you can't run a dedicated line, then have an electrician move your audio line to the other side of the panel, isolating it f... | |
| vibration control I just read about the granite.I used to get severely criticized when I poopooed the effectiveness of a slab of graite under a component.Granite can induce ringing not soak it up like wood or rubber can.All components vibrate. some transformers hav... | |
| vibration control I used a couple of Townsend seismic sinks, BDR cones, Sympoisum roller blocks, butcher blocks,all of them are better than nothing.But the biggest change was when I bought a Grand Prix Audio rack.Pricey, but the best isolation device I've yet encou... | |
| Words From the Wise Listen to more systems than your own.Listen to different types of speakers- stats, cones, horns,panels.Same goes for amps, tubes, solid state, SET, Class A, Class D.Listen to properly set up vinyl systems and digital systems.Keep an open mind and ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? My first listening experiences were as a two year old listening to the 78 rpm vinyl that my parents played on a console tv set in the early 1950's.Years later when I stsrted to learn how to play, i used the same system ,but the records were 45's a... | |
| Shunyata Power Conditioner advice I've just introduced another dedicated line to my system for the digital gear.That's three dedicated lines, and no hum issues.If anything, less noise.If someone claims that adding dedicated lines created hum or noise, then perhaps it's a bad elect... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Mr A what type of amplifier is the Chord?Class A, AB, or is it a D class amp?I know you never thought much of D amps before,perhaps the Chord is an exception, or you finally tried one and found out that D amps can have some merit.I liked the sound... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? May I offer a little more insight that over the years has led me to where I am at today in this hobby.I mentioned the great argument, or the great debate,divide that has developed over the years.Audiophiles all seem to be on one side of the fence ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Over the years I've come across quite a few audiophiles or psuedophiles, who seem to be on a mission to either prove that their gear and ideas are the best, everything else is either bunk, snake oil or doesn't hold up to conventional wisdoms.These... | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? I guess headphones are an acquired taste.I'm a musician, I've used them for decades,for me they are a tool.They are the only gateway that I have found to unravelling the intricasies of recorded music.I enjoy listening to music in the conventional ... | |
| Bybee Speaker Bullets? I have Ref 3A Grand Veenas, which come with some Bybee filters wired internally, although not as expensive or the same as what you are referring to,so perhaps this comment is off base.I really enjoy the sound of these speakers and I've owned lots ... | |
| Speaker spikes-worse sound-what gives? Also, interesting is that the sound is different depending on the spikes you use.My speakers are on a carpeted concrete basement floor.The original spikes were replaced with updated ones from the manufacturer, and they did make for an improvement.... | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? I never owned a separate headphone amp until recently.I just relied on whatever headphone input a piece of gear had built in.Then when I no longer had any gear with built in headphone inputs I purchased a Burson headphone amp, and discovered how p... | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is the first thing that comes to my mind.Everyone like eye candy,but having owned several tube amps,they basically all have the form follows function type of look.They are all simple metal case works with tub... |
