| So......what do you use under your speakers? Herbie's Decoupling Spikes, under Von Schweikert VR5 HSE's. Gave fuller body, more natural sound compared to original spikes.Neal | |
| HiDiamond P4 vs Nordost Valhalla PC Thanks, Joey. I will keep your recommendation in mind. For now, I am awaiting delivery of a new LessLoss DFPC Reference PC and want to hear how that sounds. I love their Sigs and have 2, and will be interested to see if the Ref really is that.Neal | |
| best headphones Second the vote for Sennheiser PX 200II phones for the purpose you indicated. I also have much more expensive Sennheisers for stationary listening, but for walking, trains, etc., you cannot beat the PX's for anything near their price. Sturdy, comp... | |
| Tift Merritt Traveling Companion Box Set Tift is a massively under-appreciated talent and treasure. She needs better PR. Her material stands for itself.Neal | |
| HiDiamond P4 PC vs Nordost Valhalla PC Ozzy,When I see one at the right price, I likely will jump on it. I let one go by last week, unfortunately. They don't come up very often. In the meantime, I am not really suffering with the Valhalla! I have 2 in my system, along with a LessLoss S... | |
| HiDiamond P4 PC vs Nordost Valhalla PC I might, if I see a used one for an attractive price.In the meantime, I have ordered a new LessLoss DFPC Reference. If it is a significant step up from the Sig, it should be exceptional. Have been a big LessLoss fan. Will report after receipt and ... | |
| HiDiamond P4 PC vs Nordost Valhalla PC Thanks, Frontier1. I have the original Valhalla. You have cogently answered my question. Refreshing.Neal | |
| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? Thanks, Pavpet. Did the Opal you compared to the (better) Mbl 5011 have the Teflon capacitors, or replacement NOS tubes. I use a pair of Russians (I think 1578's) and a pair of Sylvania Bad Boys.These mods may tip the scale considerably.regards,Neal | |
| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? As a long term and very happy Opal owner (especially after installing the Teflon capacitors Roger supplied), I actually love the retro, industrial look, and, amazingly, my lady friend likes the look as well. That said, the only reason I would ever... | |
| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? FYI, Hovland has been out of business for years. Not syre what happened, because they made very HQ products that also were gorgeous to look at.Neal | |
| How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody? Mitch 4T,I said it was "junk sound," not junk. I cannot see how anyone accustomed to high quality CD - level sound (forget HiRes) can find extended listening to Pandora or Spotify, etc. comfortable. It's not snobbery; simply a higher standard crea... | |
| JPS Aluminata v Stage III Concepts Magnus Prime The JPS Aluminata are among the kings of cables. I installed a pair between pre and power amp about 3 years ago, transformed system, and have not moved them since. And among other IC's in my system are Valhalla's, Stealth Indras and High Fidelity ... | |
| How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody? Best possible sound from Pandora, Rhapsody, etc. is to turn it off. It's junk sound. Neal | |
| What about the Belles SA-100? I have had a 150A Hot Rod that I use in my BR system for years, and I bought it used. Very musical, plenty of grunt, a steal for the money even new. Assume Ref series even better.Neal | |
| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? No problem, Peter.BTW, before I bought the Opal, I had a Hovland HP100. It was my first tube product, and was gorgeous to look at and sounded great, albeit a bit light in the bass.Neal |
