This Sistrum stuff works
Twl, I do appreciate your reporting approach rather than the, jamming it down my throat, this is the only way it could possibly be, dumb ass, approach I have gotten before about the Systrum stuff. I think you have done a good job with the review a... 
This Sistrum stuff works
Twl, thanks for the reply. I do wonder if it is dependant on the type of floor you have? I have a carpet covered, plywood and wood joist floor, over a shallow crawl space, for my listening room. I can't imagine wanting to transfer any more vibrati... 
This Sistrum stuff works
but a little face...Warrenh, is this directed at me? What the hell are you getting at? 
This Sistrum stuff works
O.K., Lak and Twl, we have had some discussions in the past that have been great and very informative. Can you explain to me why the Systrum stuff is any different than any other cones? I have been playing around with cones starting with the Mod S... 
What brand outlet for dedicated lines?
Albert, glad to hear from you. The outlets ARE wonderful! I am just a bit disappointed that so very few of the participants posted their findings about the "Ports" on the "needs 50" thread. Perhaps if you were to ask what peoples findings were the... 
Question for ARC line stage owners
Tom, Thanks for the info. I think I would rather stay away from ARC units with 10 tubes or even 8 like the LS 22. I would consider it if the warm up time was not longer than it takes for my ARC VT 50. I have to leave my SP 9 on ALL the time or it ... 
What brand outlet for dedicated lines?
Rives, I got mine from Albert and love what they did. They did take a long while to burn in. Albert is a great asset to this site and am very glad to have been involved in the project. The cryo'd Hubbell's from Audio Excellence are burned in first... 
Question for ARC line stage owners
Audiotomb, I assume that the LS5 uses 6922's. How many of them? My guess is that the 5 also uses the MIT multicaps. I am curious about the circuit board layout. Is there some space between the MIT caps, or is it very tight like a few other units I... 
What brand outlet for dedicated lines?
Rives,is Albert still selling some of the "Porter Ports"? 
What brand outlet for dedicated lines?
Look into the cryo treated Hubbell's from www.audioexcellenceaz.com ,open the World Power link. Several friends of mine and I have cryo treated Hubbell 8300's and we all think they sound great! I have not listened to all of different outlets out t... 
Transitioning: back to solid state....
Viggen, I can't remember if I told you to let the CA50 idle for about 20 minutes before doing the bias adjustment? 
Transitioning: back to solid state....
Viggen, glad you found something you like. Did you ever bias your CA 50?P.S. Your buddy(MR. EL34,you know who I mean) is posting again! He must have laid low for a while. 
AR LS15 pre anyone changed hardwired power cord?
Rar1, sorry for the coded message. CPCC is short for "Custom Power Cord Company". The "High Value" is their entry level power cord that recently had the price reduced from about $150 for a 5' cord to $100 for 6' and under. These guys make some spe... 
AR LS15 pre anyone changed hardwired power cord?
I have not done an LS15, but I put an IEC on an SP9 with very good results. Using a budget CPCC "High Value" cord rendered the system smoother in the trebel, yet with greater detail and extension. The bass is improved in terms of texture, extensio...
