| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl When my woofer was crazy pumping (moved heavy curtains behind my speakers) it was due to my Pass Labs phono stage. Changed back to my tubed Manly phono stage it it stopped about 80%. I then changed to a T+A phono stage (inserted inside my T+A HV i... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? Under my Clearaudio turntable I use Symposium Acoustics double rollerblocks on top of a Symposium Acoustics Super Segue ISO platform which sits on top of a Core Audio Designs rack. The Symposium Acoustic platform and rollerblocks made the single b... | |

| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. For audio racks, Core Audio Designs racks are stunning. On equipment, I prefer understated clean lines and elegance like on the Innuos Statement. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? When my main SS amp was sent for service I bought a PL Dialogue HP integrated amp to use. I wanted to try an inexpensive tube amp that was hassle free and easy to sell when my main amp returned. I used it with Wilson Audio Alexia’s. It got me thro... | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright I rarely use my OPPO which is in a back up system with a TV. It did not sound that great with CD’s so I mainly streamed from a pro iDSD. I had an extra RCA High Fidelity cable from my main system so I decided to use it on the OPPO yesterday. Made ... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? My amp puts out 500 watts into my 4 Ohm speakers. Sounds great. I added a T+A power supply that adds 1800 watts. I rarely play music over 84 decibels, generally in the 64 to 78 range at my listening chair. With the extra 1800 watts I found listen... | |
| Rollerblocks 2.5 I use them under my turntable on top of a Symposium Super Segue ISO platform. Together they made an instant drastic change (for the better). They change was not subtle. It elevated my somewhat humble turntable (Clearaudio Performance DC, Satisfy t... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? I had very slight woofer pumping when I was using my Manley Chinook phono stage playing over 80 decibels. I bought a Pass Labs XP-17 phonostage & the woofer pumping was out of control even at mid volume levels. The floor to ceiling drapes beh... | |

| High Fidelity MC-6 Power Distributor vs. Synergistic Research V8 Powerblock? I have used an MC-6 hemisphere for the last 18 months and most of my cables are HFC’s. The power cords & XLR cables are excellent and the RCA interconnect is outstanding. I just replaced the MC-6 hemisphere in my main system with the new SR Po... | |
| Audio Rack Selection I also HIGHLY recommend Core Audio Designs. I have 2 of their racks and use them on hard wood floors. They are not only built incredibly well and perform incredibly well but they are the best looking racks out there. The wood is beautiful as is th... | |
| Need a new Hi-Fi rack? I also HIGHLY recommend Core Audio Designs! They make a difference and they are beautiful to look at, not tacky or geeky like most high end racks. They are also more affordable. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I also vote for the T+A HV integrated, this was my decision between many amps. There other amps, in the HV series are also outstanding. | |
| Innuos Statement Review 10 months ago I was trying to decide between the Antipodes CX+EX combo and the Innous Statement. It was taking forever for the Antipodes to become available. I ended up buying a The Memory Player. Sound was incredible but I found it difficult to u... |
