| Most satisfying system change in 2017? Going with all Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix cables was as big as any component Change. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thank you David, that’s exactly what I was hoping to hear. Im looking forward to sharing about mine in 3 or 4 months. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @avanti1960 , I did not have the ART9 before selling the Scout. I did run a Soundsmith Zepher on the Scout which worked well but not in the same league with the SL1200GAE and ART9. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I agree the Rega is very stylish. This is less important to me than the sound although the look of the Technics does bring about certain nostalgic feelings when spinning vinyl. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @powerglide, I have not had exposure to any of the Shunyata line of cables but I can confirm that the Matrix PC bests the GE by a good margin if that helps any. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @klh007 , I still have the Mirror Image amps, all 400 watts into 4 Ohms running the DIs and sounding fantastic. The LTA Ultralinear is currently breaking in powering my Janszen zA21.1s and surprisingly loud with 20 watts powering 87 dB speakers.Y... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables The power cables are excellent, besting all PCs I’ve tried to date including: Lessloss Signature, Sablon Grand Corona, Sablon Petite, Mad Scientist Audio, etc. I can’t even remember all of the cables I’ve tried. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I would like to try the GAIA footers on my Tektons but the weight of the DI’s would require the GAIA II. I have thin carpet on concrete and wondered if they had spikes? The spikes I see look like they only fit the GAIA I. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I have an SL1200GAE with Parasound JC3+ and Audio Technica ART9 cart. This is a spectacular combination and the last vinyl setup I will ever need. Far exceeding the VPI Scout 1.1 it replaced. | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 I have a Mirror Image Audio 1.1 SB. The company was around from ca 1985 to 1994. With 200 watts and up to 30 in class A, it still sounds incredible and I would put it up against anything new. | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. I would like to mention that my Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 (David Berning designed) is absolute magic with my Janszen electrostats. If you can live with 40 watts or get them mono blocked for 80, I can’t recommend them highly enough. My Janszen zA2.1... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @mac48025, I think both cables make a big impact vs already very good GE ICs and PCs. If I had to choose I would start with the ICs but that’s knowing I would get them all eventually.Today I just inserted the new Matrix cables into my second syst... | |
| I love my PS Audio Direct Stream with Red Cloud :) @in_shore I have the Tonian Labs Drums & Bells CD. I don’t know how Tony is doing it but It is the most dynamic recording I’ve ever heard. Since you mentioned it I am playing it now on the DS DAC. It is an excellent recording to test your syst... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables The Matrix cables for my second system will arrive next week. I will try to concentrate on the speaker cables this time. When the first loom came in I was careful to listen to the IC’s first to get a good feel of their sound. The IC’s are a big st... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mac48025,Tesla has a suitcase sized battery (powerwall) that can run our homes for 7 days. I’m waiting for a version to come out for audiophiles just to power our Audio systems. I figure it’s just a matter of time. |
