| Speaker spikes-worse sound-what gives? Your speaker was probably light in the bass to begin with. You became accustomed to the sound WITHOUT the spikes. Then when you put them in, the sound was different, that is less bass. Oftentimes, the floor acts as a bass addition, especially if t... | |
| Here's how a CD is made Years ago, I purchased a laboratory grade of optical lens cleaner from a chemical lab. It was guaranteed to meet lab specs (read, almost zero trace residue) in terms of residue, or film, left on the cleaned surface. It was extraordinarily expensiv... | |
| American Made Hybrid Integrated Amp Another uniquivical vote for Belles. It is hand wired by Mr. Belles personally, as well as hand assembled. I am a recent buyer of his amp preamp combinations, and own Von Schweikert VR-4's and the match is extremely good. It is still breaking in, ... | |
| Musician II owners what preamp works for you? I know John Ulrick, the owner designer of Spectron, and I am sure he would be more than happy to give you an answer. Just email them, they are extraordinarily nice folks. Of course they make their own pre, which is perfectly suited for their amp. ... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Slightly off the subject, but just as important in many ways for sonic purity in audio systems.Has anybody out there tried the Quantum QRT product, or products?I just spoke to them, and it sounds to me as if they are working on the level of a Pent... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player As I mentioned in an earlier post, if Tom likes it its a great product. That said, Joe, who was, after my silliness as to who posted what, contacted me graciously. He listened to my description of energy transference and said it had merit. I am no... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player I would say this, anything that Tom is this excited about, must be good. He is a golden ear from way back. Not the most subtle guy, heh heh, but fabulous ears, and a great listener.There I said it, and its true. Hey nrchy, you and Tom kiss and mak... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player I received a very cordial email from Joe, who I mistook for someone else. I gave him my thoughts on The Platform, a homemade thing, I personally designed, for hobbyiests. He is a brilliant guy, and was pleasant,in spite of my apparent lack of atte... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Sorry. I admit it!!Lrsky | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Let's see... the guy who started the thread owns the Sistrum, the guy who sells them, tells everyone how dumb they are, then the guy who makes them gives a six page explanation of the workings, then the price, and then says, out of respect for the... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. "Idiots who make a lot of money without earning it?"HMMM.... Well according to Rasmussen the owner of Gryphon, they don't really miss or need the American market. I guess the European and Asian markets where the people who earn lots of money, and ... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. Elgordo, LOL. Sadly, you are absolutely correct. I told the story of my days with a Loudspeaker manufacturer, who I won't mention due to political consequences. A reviewer had two pairs of our $12K Loudspeakers. He was the most respected, (by some... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. I agree, and would say that, very few combos of separates beat it at that price too.It is a shame that they have let the market atrophy. BTW, they did not go for very long without distribution. Dynaudio, marketed it, but I think they treated it li... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player I don't want to upset ANYONE, but I can tell all of you out there who are reasonably handy with tools how to build an excellent device for isolation. Its theory runs contrary to Tom's sincere advice, but, in my experience it works well. It works a... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. Aberdeen Components of New York is the distributor now. I am sure they will help you change the battery.It is odd that they did not contact you. one of my customers called me (from my store which has been closed 11 years)with a problem with his po... |
