| Headphone Amp for Portable CDP Thanks for all the helpful advice!I purchased demo Creek OBH 11 amp from my man JD at Audio Advisor, will use Headroom's mini/RCA portable connector cable to hook-up my portable to Creek, then my Senn HD580will be driven by Creek amp. After hour a... | |
| A minor rant SD of course you are correct about the absurdity of using$1500 of bearings under $1000 amp, it may even be silly to use $300 (1 set) under $1000 amp because of high relative cost ratio. One set of standard MIBs can support 1000lbs, and I doubt if ... | |
| Headphone Amp for Portable CDP SM I do own a TDS Passive Audiophile now, and could not evenfor a second think of removing it from my main system, butI like your thinking! I am hoping to buy new/used amp for $300 tops and was wondering how the Creek,MF,and Grado unitscompare to ... | |
| Best vibration tweaks I keep an arsenal of isolation tweaks handy. All isolationtweaks produce different tonal shifts as well as variableeffectiveness in producing an enhanced musical sound.I like bearing isolation for some applications and have Aurios MIB, Symposium R... | |
| Not happy yet Thunders,Leafs,Snooker have some good points, as do others.Lets not go overboard, or make too many changes at once,but here are areas that need immediate attention.1)Your CD player is really holding you back, there are no good Yamaha CDPs, since y... | |
| Another Cryogenic Freeze Article HFNRR Albert, you are correct all Purist cables are Cryo treatedacording to website (can I borrow your proteus cables?). Jaica also points out some Jenna labs cables are Cryo treated, so a very few are being marketed now.JK, please give us details of ho... | |
| Why so many Hydra's for sale Sling have heard this from other Hydra owners too, can you comment on the advantages Hydra provides vs the PS Audiopower plants?Also do you feel the Hydra reduces the need for "expensive"AC cords between it and component, or does that final 6 ftre... | |
| kontact kleaner Nectar of the audio gods, one of the most cost effective tweaks available. Very good detailed review and applicationtips at www.gcaudio.comCheck it out, good read. | |
| Tweak Reviews From Soundstage Red here is link to page with photos of speakers mounted on MIBs, also shows Sakura/Lab 47 system using MIBs. Also hastypical CDP installation, notice the 12x12 inch smooth stone flooring tile used under MIBs which provides smooth surface and can ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit One last point, Darumas II have no weight limit listed, and should work fine for 50lb unit. MIBs seem more robust and better suited for very heavy objects, I believe Aurios says they can support up to 1000lbs. Max sway is @1/2 inch in any directio... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Red, since I feel MIBs give the best sound I would use them under CDP. The darumas are not built to hold as much weightas RBs or MIBs so if your speakers are not too heavy by allmeans try them under speakers.Dave AGON member DK405 sells daruma II,... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Red and other ultrathin cable users, these designs have to be the mechanically the best possible design for bearingisolation devices(Aurios MIB, Rollerblocks, Daruma II) asthey offer almost no resistence to the free floating effectof bearings on C... | |
| Is "WHAT HI-FI" a good read? It is good for low end audiophile gear, mostly Britishintegrateds. Many hear will say it is not real audiophilemag, exactly right it doesn't try to be, it is geared to theentry level audiophile gear and I think it is good for this type of stuff. I... | |
| Naxos Bruckner Symphony Set Gregm, no have not heard Celibidache on EMI but I have heardJochum/EMI and easily prefer the Tintner/Naxos. Tinter has a simple/direct/powerful appraoch which stips away staid mannerisms and presents a fresh clarity to these powerful works.I also ... | |
| Anyone using Pure Note or Stealth cables I still have MIT digital reference I bought used here, and as you know it is very good 3D and smooth treble. The MIT treble is less pronounced by design and therefore soundssmooth/relaxed. This maybe exactly what certain systems needCompared to MI... |
