| Burn In... the Age Old Question, Cables, Components, and Speakers Oh, to be enlightened.....sorta glad I missed out.As I said, give it a whirl and report back. | |
| Burn In... the Age Old Question, Cables, Components, and Speakers I agree with @roberjerman - speakers do need to break-in due to the mechanical operation of the drivers. Electronics and wire, not so much except maybe a little time for capacitors. Wire and other components should simply need to warm up to oper... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? I just completed a partial virtual system page update including a shot of one of the SMc amplifiers that is supported on springs (you can't see them) over the SRA platform, which is sitting on a low-profile Sound Anchor stand. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @rixthetrick What is on top of the amps now are two (on each amp) of these heavy little brass suckers that Dan finished in black with Isodamp elastomer material on the bottom:https://edensoundaudio.com/shop/fatboy-disc/ I like the Isoacoustics ca... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @rixthetrick - I received my springs yesterday and replaced the Stillpoints under my amps. The springs I purchased look identical to the Machina Dynamica springs and cost me about $35 for 12 of them.The amps now sit on 5 springs each, over purpos... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise The Furutech DPS4.1 is supposed to be a really good sounding power chord. I have other Furutech power cords here that I use and like but have not heard the DPS4.1. One consideration is that for power amplifiers I typically like the largest gauge... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Something to be said for consistency and conviction.Certainly no farther out there than having metal buckets, crystals, and rocks all over one’s listening room, or spending more on cables than on one’s electronics and speakers. Sort of like gravi... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @rixthetrick Since you use springs extensively, would you provide a recommendation for sizing the capacity of the springs compared to the weight they will each support? I have some springs arriving today to try under my 70-pound amplifiers. The ... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? For fun, I just ordered some springs yesterday. I tried to go with something shallow enough so my amps wouldn't look weird and something wide enough for stability. Regarding the spring constant, I ordered springs where the total weight per sprin... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? @tobor007 Do they still put batteries in cable? That was an Audioquest thing and they are apparently still doing it. A description and link to a white paper follow. Believing is up to you.DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM WITH RADIO FREQUENCY TRAPAll i... | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? This is like asking what is the best painting ever.....very subjective.That said, there are many good choices in this thread and I would have a hard time arguing against The Grateful Dead. The Who (1975) may have been the best concert I have seen... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @denverfred Believe me, the guidance you will get in well-managed stores has as much to do with what’s in stock and its gross margin as it does with satisfying your needs or desires.Oh, one other thing: audio salespeople are not there to enterta... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? @scar972 Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements?A great idea, but vetoed by the marketing department. | |
| Isolation Devices I tend to agree with the responses you received from @cd318 and @squeak_king_77 . As examples, the widely used Equipment Vibration Protectors (EVPs) are offered with either rubber or felt backing on the top or bottom - with no discussion about ... |
