| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors @Michaelzay, I was wondering when you were going to chime in. Yes, you can achieve good system synergy at any budget level. Your main system is a good, well balanced system and would enable you to properly evaluate any changes such as a change in ... | |
| Best isolation cones I use 4 Stillpoints Ultra Mini's under my Oppo 103 with great success. Absolutely love these feet! The Ultra Mini's replaced a set of 3 Alto Extremo Lyd 1's. | |
| Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic Thanks for your feedback on the Triple AC stick in your system Spar. I agree with your view about variable results using component or outlet-specific grounding devices. I had a play around with Acoustic Revive RGC-24 devices which produced varying... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors 02-02-15: SwampwalkerNo one trusts anyone else's opinions here and should not.Anyone else find that a very odd comment coming from a reviewer? Or do I have Tbg confused w someone else?Tbg has observed in this and other threads many examples of mem... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors @Audiolabyrinth, if you were running some reference speakers and a good source, I would take more notice if your findings. But anyone who pairs $45k worth of wire with a pair of speakers worth $695 today and a budget Chinese cd player has rocks in... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Cheers Tbg, I know the real reason I talk to myself on this forum, and it's nothing to do with the folks on here.. | |

| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Hi Colekat, assuming there are no territorial issues (ie: where a given product is not already represented in your area), Boris at Absolute Hi End is a good guy to talk to. I have known him for 6 years. | |
| Power Cords Rule Yeah i've found in my system attention to AC power really pays off. In the last 6 months i've added a Furutech GTX-D(G)wpo, Gigawatt PC-3 SE Evo power conditioner & plan on upgrading my 3 main Jorma Prime pc's with cryo'd Oyaide M1/F1 connecto... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? 01-31-15: Douglas_schroederI wouldn't dream of running any file-based playback with a trash USB. It would eviscerate the sound quality...I only takes one garbage connection to take down a system. One.+ 1. Single or preferably double-xlr connection... | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? Al, would you prefer members simply tell the OP to buy x, y, z preamp or power amp? No one outside the OP can possibly know what will work best in his system, or what will give the best bang for his buck. Nothing short of a home audition of a comp... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? With S3 Bo1, the speakers come equipped with factory spikes which seem directly connected to the top adjusting screw. I'm not sure they can be removed & fitted with the adaptors. Definitely S5 can, but not sure about S3. | |
| Vandersteen 5A's Internal crossovers/batteries I recall the classic Infinity IRS Epsilon used two 9V batteries per loudspeaker to bias the joining point of a series/parallel set of capacitors in the tweeter network which is said to noticeably improve the top end. | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? It is often said that your amplifier is the engine of your system, and the preamp is the heart. Both are important and should work synergistically. I previously ran a Boulder 1060 amp with a heavily modded Ayon CD-5s as linestage and that combo wo... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? The pictures look great Bo1. I've seen Marten Bird 2's with Ultra 5's. I wonder if it is possible to fit Stillpoints to the Magico S3's outriggers? You can certainly fit the Stillpoints to the S5's in lieu of the factory feet. |
