| Synergistic Research ECT Had a chance last night to try out the HFTs. Anyone coming in late may want to take a minute, scroll up, and read my OP. There's a whole lot compressed into that one early sentence, "within a year I had heard for myself what vibration control can ... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT I read somewhere that Benny Goodman performed live to more people than anyone else, ever. Or Duke Ellington. Not in monster stadiums like today but clubs with a few hundred to a few thousand at a time. Night after night, 6 nights a week, 50 weeks ... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Wow. USPS just delivered 10 HFTs. We will see how that goes. Frustrating, is my guess. Not because of positioning, but because doing crazy overtime while nice for being able to afford this stuff is absolute murder on my ability to find time to use... | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. Can he eat them? Can he eat them??? Run em through Codenamegeoff's rock polisher and not only can he eat them, he can power his low thrust high specific impulse rocket engine for interplanetary space travel. Although, why not just teleport? http:/... | |

Or do not! There is no try! Die hard old habits do.Possible it is sense to make grammar regardless. Provided of course the... | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. I don't know about brilliant pebbles, but this is pure gold: I presented a paper to national conference fifty years ago regarding a design for a low thrust high specific impulse rocket engine for interplanetary space travel that develops thrust b... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Tawa, where on the TT? And where did you notice the biggest effect?Gordon, SR claims the HFT Wide Angles "dramatically increase your sense of immersion in the soundfield while expanding the scale and dimension of your soundstage." Dramatically. Wo... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Here in Seattle our marquee high end dealer is Definitive Audio. Their founding location on Roosevelt has the flagship clearaudio turntable, linear tracking arm, and cartridge, feeding a host of similarly ultra-high end components terminating in a... | |
