| Phono Stage, Cartridge, DeGritter...which one first? If you were considering any of these changes, which one would make the most immediate improvement without narrowing it down to a specific phono stage or cartridge. In this case you have narrowed the question down to where it cannot be answered.... | |
| Reel to Reel Woes If you want really high end, the Decware ZP3 phono stage is designed to also be used with tape decks. The signal is then taken directly off the heads, bypassing the deck, and that may well be a lot higher quality, depending on the deck of course. | |
| Run length No problem. Ears just aren't that sensitive to such low bass as you're talking with a sub. For example, just that ordinary wire alone would be crap and you'd hear it as crap even at just 5ft. But with subs you can get away with cheap wire just fine. | |
| stereo review magazine I grew up reading Stereo Review all through the 1970's and 80's. Learned a lot reading Stereo Review. Learned a lot about amps, speakers, all the different components. Thought the world of them. Really looked up to some of them like Julian Hirsch.... | |
| As promised my thoughts on my newly installed Townsend Podium isolation system. Not bad for a guy claims to not know how to write a review! ;) That is a pretty darn good description. It is especially useful I think because you had Gaia and acknowledge they are quite good, nothing bad to say about them at all, it is just that ... | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? If this is not just transformers, if it is two complete power supplies you are talking about combining together in parallel, then what you are really talking about is doubling the capacitance. With twice the power supply storage capacity you shoul... | |
| Snake oil?? There's better now. PM coming your way. | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? csontos- Could I connect them in parallel to double their rating? No. And anyone who understands what a transformer is and how it works should be able to see at an instant why this will not work. Since no one does then I guess everyone can benefi... | |
| Snake oil?? That ECI stuff is more of a true contact enhancer, nano carbon particles designed to reduce the micro-arcing that occurs when the signal jumps across microscopically small gaps in between conductors. That is part of what TC does. They are similar ... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy Right. I started testing with different springs ordered from eBay. Even once you know what you want in terms of dimensions it is still a lot of trouble to find. That is why I ultimately dumped individual big springs and recommend Nobsound. Not bec... | |
| Is it just me? Yeah, yeah. Mine's still better. | |
| How good is Krell Phantom III? Krell with Wilson. In Seattle you had to go to Bellingham to find Krell with Wilson. In Seattle it was Mark Levinson with Wilson. Same (unlistenable) difference. | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy The Credo video used a very early generation Townshend Podium that they tried to pass off as a current model. They were for a time a Townshend distributor, until they ripped it off and started selling that instead. They pull a fast one with the gr... | |
| Is it just me? I bought several cars without looking under the hood. What am I, as a non-mechanic, going to see there that I can evaluate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VrFV5r8cs0 | |
| Snake oil?? 68pete-How much the sound stage has opened up is just unbelievable Unbelievable to you and some others, sure. But as for me, the only thing I find hard to believe is they somehow managed to come up with something about as good as TC. But if they ... |
