| Synergistic Research ECT Sounds like I need to get the HFTs. Five of the original and five of the warmer 2.0 I think? | |
| How good's your hearing Okay so her hearing may be gone. But does she know how to listen? | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Late night listening is always better what with the lower noise floor and reduced grain and glare, presumably due to quieter cleaner power. I've noticed the same effect day or night simply by flipping a lot of breakers off. Which while it is a rea... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT For those who don't know, the comment above is from the inventor of Teleportation, Flying Saucers and Codename (Yes, really, Codename) White Poppy. http://www.machinadynamica.com/index.htmlGood luck tawa finding someone credible who has tried all... | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. In the category of no good deed goes unpunished, I for some unfathomable reason decided to Google Brilliant Pebbles. God help me. Mom always said if you can't find anything good to say then its okay to cut and paste their own words from their own ... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Yeah, and just to be clear as far as video is concerned, the improvement in picture quality is on par with going from 720p to 1080i, or 1080i to 4k. Its about as much or more compared to when I upgraded from standard HDMI to a very good $350 HDMI ... | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. No one seems to know Brilliant Pebbles was the brainchild of Lawrence Livermore physicist Lowell L Wood as part of the SDI initiative taken up by the Reagan administration in the late 1980's. Instead of thousands of kinetic satellites placed in or... | |
| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. I thought speaker cables (and interconnects, and power cords) were smoke and mirrors, too. Until I actually bothered to compare a few. In no time flat three things quickly became apparent:1. They do indeed make a huge difference. In fact, they are... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Right you are, simao. Except I would add, its not just the pressing. The MoFi Dire Straits 45 is an awful pressing. Mine skips on Walk of Life, there are pops and crackles everywhere, and the whole pressing is just depressingly noisy across all si... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Okay so New Years Eve watching The Bird Box with the wife wasn't doing much for me so I decided to try something. The movie was a download playing from my MacBook Pro. Part way through I got up and stuck an ECT on the MacBook, upper right corner c... | |
| Well... guess I have to jump in the rabbit hole of speaker cables... lol I have no idea what else may be contributing to what you're hearing, but your cables are definitely crap and at least a part of the problem. Speaker cables (and interconnects, and power cords) are not a rabbit hole. They are very straightforward- ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline I met Ted when he came up to demo his then-new Active Shielding for a select few of us at a very boutique (I guess you could call it an audio salon although this one really was) dealer friend of mine. By then I had already experienced first hand h... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline Congratulations, Dana!I've never heard anything sound so good right out of the box as my Herron. Unlike some people I thoroughly enjoy listening to new gear. The way the sound changes is just fascinating. I put on a side, enjoy the sound, and beco... | |
| Is it all in my head?? Nobody can explain it Nonoise, that's the thing. Power being good and not varying has almost nothing to do with it. Power where I live is very good if you measure it. All you do is listen though and its obviously a lot better late at night. Also a... | |
| Is it all in my head?? Nobody really knows why or how these things work. If anyone ever did then in no time flat everyone else would too and the resulting competition would drive prices to the floor. That hasn't happened. Because no one has a clue. Just stories they tel... |
