| Synergistic Research ECT My understanding is these work by vibration control. They are shaped just like tiny little bass traps. Take the dimensions, work out the math, they are damping ultrasonic vibrations, frequencies on the order of 40kHz and above. Exactly how this wo... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound My experience has been few things are less important than understanding why.Just listen to em. All you need to know. | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Yes I'm surprised more people aren't able to realize the many advantages to tweaking what you have compared to buying a new component. Not that there's anything wrong with component upgrades. I just brought home a game-changer, Herron VTPH-2A. Pro... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD ALSO: I don't really think it takes super expensive turntable/phono stages/cartridges for vinyl to compete with digital. I'll say! Back in 1998 when I "thought" I was done auditioning and assembling the best system I could afford, I made the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm no jazz aficianado. Fact, don't usually care for it all that much. But Duke Ellington Jazz Party is a big exception. Got the LP, grew on me so much I got the 45. Its jazzy. Its bluesy. Got a little classical/symphonic structure in there. Its l... | |
| What are your top 1-5 favorite well recorded songs? ***Please note: all are on vinyl. There is no such thing as best of anything when played back on CD. Sorry, but them's the facts.

| Synergistic Research ECT Working 12 hour days I won’t have time to listen at all until Saturday.Why not try it yourself? Pull one off the wall, tack on the turntable, tone arm base, or right on the arm itself. Placed directly over the pivot point it won’t affect VTF at al... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Okay so check this out. Look real close at the ECT. Look down inside to where the horn ports into a chamber at the bottom. There's a very fine mesh screen. Just past the screen there's something. What?Then take a look at the lateral x-ray. What? Y... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Is imaging important? The word itself, "stereo" is from the Latin and refers to solid or 3-dimensional. The word itself derives from the ability of two properly positioned speakers to create the illusion of a solid sound source distinct from those... | |
| Synergistic Research ECT Yes, forgot to mention that, thanks for the reminder. Highend-electronics has a promotion through the end of the year, one free Blue Quantum Fuse with your ECT. Killer deal. I also have something interesting to add to my review.My first ECT placem... | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth Its not a myth. Its a misnomer. Or whatever the word is for a term being misused. The stamper must always be hot. Vinyl simply will not flow properly with a cold stamper.As for the rest, if you really want to understand then I suggest you spend an... | |
| Power Purpose When was the last time you cleaned your contacts? People clean so infrequently that sometimes even just the cleaning action of unplugging and plugging cleans things resulting in better sound. | |
| Thoughts on VTA...... OP:"I have read countless posts where members are spending hours on exacting setup of their VTA with varying levels of tools.Then there is another camp who set by ear.My thoughts/questions on this subject arise from vinyl thickness difference.Sure... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Based simply on countless auditions, not just myself but scores of people (please note: not audiophiles, PEOPLE) over many years with everything from budget to mega there simply is no way any VPI doesn't trounce any CD.So let's set that aside and ... |
