| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? A stacked pair of tweaked/modified CWIV. Invert the top pair, as we used to do with Lg Advents, AR, Heresy, JBLs. etc. Under your budget. What a presentation ! | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Finished my mods on an amplifier a week ago and have since been letting it sing along with my system, 24 /7 (an advantage of solid state gear, and having a private, dedicated listening room). I played the Medeski Martin and Wood cd "friday afterno... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords " I did enjoy his voice "when I realized" that it was not the result of a poor source cd but was the result of the abuse that his vocal cords were probably taking ". " I enjoyed it "when it hit me" that that was his real voice at the time. Not rea... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords People are not understanding, Matt purchased some very well made and excellent sq for the money, 10 gauge power cables by Preffair, on my recommendation. He wanted to jump in and get his feet wet with better cables than stock, at an INTRO price. W... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Matt, I did not offer anything, except an opinion or two with my many years of experience, and I apologize if I was not gentle in my presentation. I momentarily became a teacher, and no one enjoys being a student, especially us audio folks. Gettin... | |

| A stupid question(s) about power cords Listen, to the " musicianship " and the " composition ". Everything else will follow. Why are listeners so involved in the acoustics of the performance, rather than the performance itself. Once an instrument or voice enters a mic or a mixing conso... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? For over 50 years I have been damping horns, of all speakers using them. They did not have Dynamat back then, but there were materials that we used that did the job, such as clay, mortite etc. Mortite is still an excellent damper of resonance and ... | |
| What are the circular discs people use on components? @fthompson251 those are them ! | |
| Push-pull Tube Amps and autoformers @audiodidact with your particular tube amplifiers you do not need the Speltz Zeros, as I am surprised Ralph is saying it is ok. They were created for OTL amplifiers. If I am understanding you correctly, I agree with audiotroy. Get a robust and bee... | |
| What are the circular discs people use on components? I 2'nd the door weights on Amazon. They are actually called door stoppers. Type in the search bar : Stainless Steel Door Stopper (3 Pack). I use them with great success. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @dill , what are you implying ? Matt is going through a growth spurt with his system, if you have been paying attention to his threads. Unfortunately, making the power cable change and discussing any differences, will not be valid, since at a simi... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @audphile1 Interesting that you got one to try. As I mentioned somewhere else, I could not build a cable as good as this for this silly amount of money. I have had power cables in my system retailing at $1K, and none of them blew me away, over the... | |
| My new B Stock speakers Matt, I have not responded to this thread, as I thought the power cable thing was going to be a thing. The change of speakers was a complete surprise to me, and maybe it was to you too. I will hold back my opinions on the speaker change, as I feel... | |
| My new B Stock speakers FYI, A pair of the 126be showed up for sale on USAM from a seller in Michigan. Asking 3K with the matching stands. |
