New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Hey Tom, very interesting and I will certainly do that. It is something I was not aware of.  Many thanks.  Music is now sounding a little more relaxed, not so over-hyped and almost listenable again.  My wife and I  decided to watch a movie for a c... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
@geoffkait: Yes I have made changes by shufflling cables around but that was done to try and smooth out the sound. I soon realised that no cable swapping could sort out the problem. The bass traps and other room treatments were in place before the... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
I was not sure where to post this problem I have. They were all the original mats. Also, to be clear, I removed the linestage from the path and took the analogue-out from the DAC directly to the power amp.I hope somebody can shed some light on thi... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Due to house repairs and installation of bass traps etc. I have only recently introduced E Mats and TC into my system. Some Application of TC was done about 3 months ago and the Mats about 3 weeks ago.The stuff certainly, beyond any doubt, makes a... 
Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there
Look for a Sumo The Nine, a Jim Bongiorno design providing 60W class A. Simply one of the nicest amps I've ever heard and will snap one up if given the chance.I see Tom8999 is using a Son of Ampzilla II in his system which is also designed by Bong... 
Daniël Hertz M6L preamp.
This is Mark Levinson's new company and that preamp is designed by him. I recently emailed him about a noisy ML23.5 but got no response, zip, nada. I am a pensioner and saved up a long time to buy one of these excellent amps. He did not even have ... 
Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500
When visiting the XFI Premium hifi show in Holland late last year I found myself in the a room that Aurender and dCS were sharing. I eventually managed to chat to two guys together each representing their respective companies.This turned into a le... 
Resistors
'Good 1% resisters of the same value always sound the same'That's so sad. Some people are incapable of, or unwilling to hear the difference. I can't directly answer the question but can tell you that Mills are smooth and way better than the cast ... 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
ML23.5 and it’s sibling 27.5 are great amps.@ozzy says ’sterile and lifeless’ Really? Have you had one at home and if so what amp did you compare it to. I notice you did not provide this information.I own both but the 27.5 no longer works. Will ge... 
Holy Brightness Batman!
Another possible approach is if you can handle a screwdriver and soldering iron. Keep the Tylers and modify them.Go straight to the crossover and identify the series capacitor to the tweeter. Chop it out and note its value, something like 3.3 to 6... 
Speakers or room
Maybe get rid of current wife. Order one dozen big fat ones on-line. Place one in each corner, 2 per side at first reflection points and the rest on the floor between you and the speakers.Face them inwards for better dispersion or outwards for mor... 
Best used DAC under $750.
If you are happy with redbook only,  then do your best to find a Wadia 15  It uses the Burr Brown PCM63 R2R architecture which beats, to my ears, the delta sigma DACs, unless you are prepared to pay huge money.This on redbook is a more musical and... 
What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
@ geofkite  I asked why you scoff. Can't answer, no rational reason? Seems you're not short of inane comments with nearly 19K posts.Name dropping skills,  hmmm, reminds me to drop your name into my folder titled 'Pathetic"  
What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
Because rooms vary so much in construction it is difficult to predict acoustic behavior by guessing.There is no need to guess, for less than the price of a pair of modest interconnects or isolation product which may or may not have an effect, a s... 
What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
WOW, after I read what @joshfilm posted I went to the Stillpoints site, not believing that this patent drivel and misinformation was up for all to see.  I no longer have any interest in their products. This insult is the worst kind of advertising....
