| Upgrading Fuses I upgraded the fuses in my MX-Rs to positive effect. How much you notice will, to a large extent, be determined by the resolution of the rest of your system. In my case, there were 10 fuses for a cost of $450, but I felt it was worth it. | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs I've purchased Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Aja, Relaxin, Smokin, and several others and I echo Jfrech's response WOW! Yes they're expensive, probably more than they need to be, but you can't argue with the sound quality.Hi Jfrech. | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s I own MX-Rs and WP7s. A very synergistic combination IMO. Paired with a tube preamp, a Nagra PL-L in my case, and it's pure music. The Wilsons can be a difficult load, especially down low and the MX-Rs never run out of current, never sound harsh a... | |
| AC condition A power conditioner. I won't get into brand specifics, you can research that. What's happening is that devices like compressors which are found in refrigerators, AC compressors, etc. draw a large amount of current at startup, much larger than when... | |

| Is the Rives Audio Parc an audiophile component Yes and I have. | |
| "Paper Airplane" While my comments stand regarding PA, I most definitely agree that live, they're musicianship, cohesiveness, etc. is incomparable. | |
| What is Phase Angle and Shifting? re: Bifwynne's question:Without an entire dissertation, consider the analogy of a hose through which water is passing at the end of which is a nozzle. Difficult impedances involve a negative, or capacitive phase angle. That means that the current ... | |
| "Paper Airplane" I couldn't agree more. I was wondering just what it was that left me "flat" upon listening and even after repeated listening. Doesn't compare to "Lonely Goes Both Ways" even any of her really early stuff. | |
| What is Phase Angle and Shifting? Anybody ready for a trigonometry and vector algebra lesson? | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer ASC Bass or Super traps is what I've used. | |
| Speaker cables for Wilson Sophia 3 I've used Cardas Golden Reference w/ reterminations using their new cold forged process w/ my WP7s. I've had the Cardas for many years and have felt no need to change. | |
| HT amp for my father - advice please I have exactly the same speakers and use a B&K 507. It's 150W x 7, but honestly, I don't seem to ever have to turn them up very much. |
