| Power cords at ridiculous prices? Carl is oh so right, that expensive 6ft cord dosen't just transmit electricity, good cords use elaborate metals, sheilding, special conductor windings, other special conditioning elements or materials to clean and condition electric current.......... | |
| Power cords at ridiculous prices? I don't understand the point of this discussion, of course a good $1000 cord will sound better than a good $250 cord, just like a Mercedes performs better than a Honda Accord. The only question is can you afford it, and will it be the best use of ... | |
| YBA Audiorefinement/Musical Fidelity A3 Both are good, read March 2000 Stereophile Sam Tellig review of MF A300, he has reviewed both and compares them to each other.....bottom line is Tellig purchased A300 review sample, that says it all. A3 exactly same design with 85w instead of 150w... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc While waiting for my Bedini II, I become more and more impressed with results from Radio Shack de-mag unit ($38). Here is how I get best results, get clear 2 sided plastic binder pages from business supply store and cut down 2 sides so remaining s... | |
| Power Cords Carl will tell you all about MIT Z II, for the money though you can get HT Pro-AC11 cords for $100-125 used very good value and good performance......I own PowerSnakes Sidewinder which goes @$250 new, very hard to find used though, I like very muc... | |
| Int. Amp. Musical Fid. A2 vs Anthem int2 Go with MF A3 if you plan on getting better system in the future. I own several MF amps, including A3, Sam Tellig of Stereophile liked A300 so much he bought review sample! You get beautiful sound with stock unit, but it gets much better with afte... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Sean, thanks for the tip, I already ordered Bedini II from Elusive Disc $150,close to where I now live, Cincinnati. BTW I lived in Chicago from 1979-91 in Lincoln Park, by Fullerton & Clark St, wish I was still there.....but things change. I h... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Dtsag,Carl I am pretty much a believer now, as this weekend I played 10-15 CDs I am very familiar with in the rock/alt category, I have treated them with Auric Illuminator because they had the familiar treble grain/glare common with mediocre recor... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Shayner, tweak items are very interesting because many times the exact scientific reason why they effect the sound is not fully understood. April/2000 issue of Stereophile page 193, Robt Duetsch tries Furutech unit and claims he hears improvement ... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Carl, do you find Bedini must be used every time CD is played, to get max benefit? Which Cds benefit most from clarifacation, and what areas of sound are enhanced? I must say Bedini II at $150 is easier to swallow, regards Sam | |
| CD mats, any good ones? I was able to buy used Marigo CrossBow mat from Cable Co., I will test next week and report if it is an improvement or just another "coaster" to place drinks on. From various tweak sites this mat gets most recommendations, but I am concerned that ... | |
| CD mats, any good ones? Ykchu, where did you buy your mat, and could describe the improvements you hear? Any negatives? Most high end CD manf will tell you there is no need for mat.....but what would you expect from them......George my local radio shack has heavy duty bu... | |
| CD mats, any good ones? George, I have to laugh when I see that add for UFO, I suppose it does similar thing to Bedini Clarifier, I've read that Radio Shack bulk tape eraser accomplishes de-gaussing for reasonable cost, perhaps I should look into this.....regards Sam | |
| M/F A3 Int. Amp. What are you running... I own several MF amps, including A3, if you read Sam Tellig Stereophile review of A300, you know it sounds beautiful with any system. You can improve sound significantly by tossing generic power cord and replacing with inexpensive aftermarket cord... | |
| Bi-amping versus Mono-blocks Willi, I would also point out my experience with my MF amps is the monoblock set-up produces a better 3D soundstage, deeper, wider etc. I also like the fact that it eliminates one pair of interconnects from the sound path, compared to two stereo a... |
