| A Tombstone in the Living room???? I tried granite under my SF Transport 3 and then I tried Soapstone. The soapstone is MUCH better. Just by knocking onit, you can tell that it is much less resonant. However, it is softer than granite so you need to handle it with caution. I tried ... | |
| Most overpriced audio component made Right on Joysjane. I became self employed about 2 years ago and still find it hard to believe how much I have to make just to cover expenses. This insight is why I rarely take up a dealers time if I do most of my shopping hear on Audiogon. There a... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Works for MS, therefore he must have taste (or is that money???) | |
| Anyone heard PS Audio Lab Cable? I could immediately hear a SIGNIFICANT improvement by replacing the stock cords on my BAT VK-500 with the Lab Cables. The background got much quieter and the music became more detailed. Things have only gotten better with break-in. My wife, a scep... | |
| Aesthetix Io-Reliability Problems??? I just purchased a used Aethetix Io and the previous owner is a super-tweaker. He sets up turntables for various companies around the North East. Anyway, although he replaced the tubes once, according to him, the biggest improvement to the Io was ... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Massvm, is that to say that you have been less than impressed thus far??? I currently have a PP300, but need more juice and outlets. I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to a PP600 or go with a Hydra instead. | |
| Help completing vinyl front end. Thanks for all the recommendations. OK, so I'll stay away from used cartridges and I'll expand my budget to $4500. Rather than the VPI TNT, I'm going to keep an eye out for used Basis and Oracle V tables. Does anyone know whether the JMW 10 will f... | |
| Amps for Dynaudio ? I have the Condifence 5 dirven by a BAT VK500 with BATPAK. The VK500's tuby sound warms up the analytical(EXTREMELY accurate) nature of the Dynaudios and provides all the power and control you could want. | |
| Amp upgrade over BAT VK-500?? Actually, I considered something similar. I could sell my VK500 for $3k and BUY some VK1000 monoblocks for $4.5k or so. However, I'm not sure if power is all that is lacking. Can the extra dough buy more detail, presence, musicality, rather than j... | |
| Dynaudio v Revel Elinor- Huh??? Dynaudio C5s are among the most detailed speakers available today. I'm alway open to new components, but lets be realistic about where the true faults are. Distortion and lack of detail just aren't a problem with these speakers. | |
| Dynaudio v Revel Why the 3s vs the 5s? I've seen the 5s selling for | |
| Dynaudio v Revel Which Dyns? I have the Confidence 5s and couldn't be (much) happier. I will say that the C5s are extremely analytical so your front end/amp must be up to par. I'd be curious to hear your impressions of the Revels vs the C5s. Only complaint: althou... | |
| Amp upgrade over BAT VK-500?? Accujim, Funny to note that I actually bought the VK-500 from you a few months back! My local dealer carries Lamm so I'll demo if possible. Thanks. | |
| Wadia Fiasco? Technically, Wadia will be offering a software upgrade for the 27ix. They are keeping it in the product line. Their PowerDAC is a separate and even more expensive offering. | |
| Hiding Tube Traps??? Dekay, the screens are already in the room and they don't seem interested. However, one has to admit that TubeTraps look suspiciously like large scratching posts. |
