| Aurios MIB Pro's - Set-up tips. Some quick thoughts, I have the Aurios 1.2 not Pros, I like 61's thinking and haven't done it yet but at some time I plan to place platform under audio rack and float entire rack on Aurios. 61 can you give further details on sound vs using directl... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I had several mid level MIT ICs a few years ago before they had different tube/solid state matched cables. They had a signature sound, the thinking of MIT then was other cables produced un-natural emphasis of treble region and one of the jobs of n... | |
| Vibration Isolators I also am using the Aurios 1.2 with bearing currently under CDP, it took me a while to effectively nuetralize my VD Nite AC cord's effect so they work properly. Agree with others that you must try many things they all sound different and I still o... | |
| Mapleshade HeavyHats-Do they work? I think the theory that placing some weight on a large metal case does effect it's vibrations/sound is pretty widely accepted. There are many items that can be used, I have several sets of brass Heavy Hats as well as several sets of brass Heavy Fo... | |
| Very Best of Fleetwood Mac CD I have to give a dissenting view, I was disappointed in remaster job and after comparing to older Fleetwood Mac Cds found the older ones superior. The new remaster has thin glassy treble especially noticeable on 2nd CD later tracks,which negates a... | |
| Best Schumann recordings For CD performances of all 4 symphonies hard to go wrong with recent Gardiner/Archiv set, performance and sound quality both great here. For a good older set the Sawallisch/EMI has been remastered and released as part of "great recordings of the c... | |
| Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers? Greg, have you tried using Milty Zerostat gun or Mapleshade Icon for removing static. Would seem to be less messy than sprays if they work as advertised. | |
| Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers? I have the Bedini Ultra and the RS bulk demag unit, but don't use either on a regular basis. Any improvement is very subtle. The very expensive Furutech unit is supposed to be the best demag available for CDs, Cable Co may let you try one if you a... | |
| Auctions - why bid early? Angela, yes there can be legitimate reasons why same item is auctioned more than once by same seller as you just described. I am just wondering out loud about my description above where friend "could" bid up item to raise proxy bids, and then if h... | |
| Auctions - why bid early? Fortunately the proxy bid system has eliminated the need to "snipe" just enter your max bid. If you use proxy no need to do this days ahead of time, but also no need to enter bid with 10 seconds left thinking you will sneak in a low price a couple... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? I would like to see a picture of these Orchard Bay cones to see if they have any unusual features, search of the internet turns up nothing. Anyone have a web address to see these.I just tried a pair of the Mapleshade triplepoint heavyfoot brass co... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Trip to home depot at lunch shows that 4x8 sheets of polystyrene foam (for insullation) are two basic types:-white foam, less dense softer foam-pink foam, rigid dense foamGot a sheet of the 1.5" pink foam @$13, thickness available are 1/2, 1, 1.5 ... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Fiddler, if I go to local Home Depot I can buy various sheets of foam insulation that have different densities and thermal properties. Do you have a more detailed description of type of foam you used....color, density etc. Some are quite dense/sti... | |
| What is the best "Carmina Burana" CD you've heard? I like Sugarbrie's CD choices here, and the Dutoit/London does have fabulous modern sound as well as good performance. The Jochum may actually have better performance but the DG Originals sound can be brightly lit at times, still a thrilling CD an... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Abruce, I really like the huge Mapleshade heavyfoots also and the price is very reasonable ($60 set of 3) for all that brass. I like them so much I am about to order some triple point heavyfoots to see if fully tweaked out version is even better.I... |
