Impact of Walker Audio Extreme SST
I have experienced the same sort of "across the board" improvements which suggests that the signal transmission is less than optimum at very many points along the signal chain, even in systems that already sound excellent.Because it takes so very ... 
REALITY CABLES ?
The official website is realitycables.comSo far, only mentioned in passing in some of the Reimer loudspeaker advertisements, because Reality Cables won a cable shootout to be selected for use by Reimer to connect components and speakers in their r... 
Do people don't care or don't know?
Very well said, Thedautch. Another way of approaching this would be to let folks hear the many "secondary" systems in audiophile bedrooms or offices which can be really fun for much less money.Audiogon has helped me assemble quite a few systems fo... 
REALITY CABLES ?
Currently, I am up to my latest generation of pairs of interconnects, and speaker cables. The latest design is very sophisticated sounding. There is all the micro-detail needed to yield the "you are there" (or more properly, the performers are her... 
fuse question
Perhaps, one way to upgrade the contact surface of a fuse holder is simply to use one of the new silver-containing contact enhancers, very sparingly. Then there is no need for delicate soldering technique.By the way, what has been the experience o... 
open headphones AND speakers = Wow
Goatwuss, Perhaps the high fidelity gods will forgive you, just this once. But that much fun may be too much of a good thing. P.S. It's not "audiophile debauchery" if you restrict such activity to your living room :>) 
Tubed amp for Paradigm Studio 100V3s...??
I just realized your desire for the ultimate would be more appropriately satisfied by pair of Aronov LS-9100 110 tube watts monoblock amps. Makes a proper "fair fight" with your 500 transistor watts monoblock amps, and keeps up the traditon of Big... 
Tubed amp for Paradigm Studio 100V3s...??
After reading the rave reviews on your speakers (great choice) it is safe to predict you will be hearing all the great attributes of really fine tube amps since your speakers are not a limiting factor.As the unpaid, unaffiliated, unofficial Audiog... 
Review: Groovetracer Counterweight for Rega Turntable
Zoltarcat, Which model Rega tonearm and which cartridge had its tracking ability enhanced by your new recommendation? I found that using Herbie's doughnut turntable mat on a Sonographe SG-3 turntable working with Kerry F-2 Titanium Heavyweight cou... 
Suggest a tube integrated for me . .
Check out the Aronovaudio.com website for the Aronov LS-960I, and you can usually pick up on Audiogon in the $1200 or lower price range, a splendid value. If you prefer to be sold by reading a professional review, there is an enthusiastic review o... 
Vibration control question....
Thorman, Did you try the coupling disc for use beneath the point, or just the Audiopoint directly onto the granite surface? 
Tube Integrated Amps
Check out the LS-960I from Aronovaudio.com for self-biasing, carefree excellence in sound reproduction, including the low end control and slam usually associated with solid state designs. The era when it was a requirement to have preamp and amp se... 
Think I'm going to try tubes...
It seems I continue to be a one man cheering squad for the musically natural, speedy, impactful Aronov Audio amps. Not tubey, just amazing delivery of what's in the recording, including bass and percussion which has listeners looking for the missi... 
Walker EST Silver treatment?
I have used the original, and then the Extreme SST with fine results. In one system I simply used for power cord connections. In another system I used for RCA IC connectors along with power cords. Can't seem to get up the courage for vacuum tube p...
