Anybody else using a distributed array sub system?
In my main rig I have the speakers/listening position setup on an angle with a REL Stadium lll cabinet/driver in the front corner and a REL Strata lll cabinet/driver in the opposite rear corner. The Stadium lll amp/controller has been removed from... 
Your single favorite component
I have had many an excellent component and/or speakers over the years but I would have to say the Platinum Power PP-1 high current balanced power conditioners I use in both the main rig and the HT are indispensable in providing ultra clean/solid b... 
Phono cartridge Goldilocks
I have a Kleos on a JMW-9 signature tone arm and an Audio Technical AT150ANV on another JMW-9 signature tone arm and the AT is much more liquid than the Kleos and it tracks much better as well, especially the inner groove. The AT is one of the bes... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
I have the Atmosphere mini hooked up and the unit has been on for 24 hrs and I have to report that the results are pretty impressive to say the least and I haven't even installed the HFT's yet!!  I have my system setup as a semi nearfield listenin... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
folkfreak, " As it happens the Atmosphere does not replace the FEQ, you can and should use both. See the discussion here on how to set up (scroll down and ignore the haters)"Thanks for the link. When I first installed the FEQ in the main rig, I h... 
Question for BPT owners....
I have two Platinum Power PP-1 high current balanced power conditioners and have never had a problem and I live in NM which has brief daily thunderstorms starting this time of year. I know my PP-1's have in-rush current protection that does just t... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
Glad to hear of the excellent results you're getting with the HFT's. I will be exploring them myself here shortly as I picked up a package deal from the Newport show which consists of an Atmosphere mini, a 5 pack of the original HFT's, a 5 pack of...

Thoughts on balanced power

Matching a McIntosh 275 amp +C50 Pre-Amp +B&W 804D3's w/ spkr cable Transparent?
I also run a MC275 mk V in my main rig and am using AQ Sky between TT(VPI) to Parasound JC3 phono preamp, AQ Cheetah from JC3 to preamp and then MIT Oracle V3.2 from preamp to amp. MIT Shotgun S1.3 speaker cables connect amp to Alon Lotus SE mk ll... 
Synergistic Research UEF Acoustic Dots?
I've had the Dots for a week and they have proven to be extremely flexible in their applications. They do have a very positive influence when placed as SR recommends but I've also found that when placed on my ASC corner traps they really improve t... 
Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords.
I agree with what Spar recommends. I upgraded the power cord that feeds my Monarchy Audio AC regenerator that feeds all my SR Galileo MPC's to the SR Atmosphere level 3 and was pleasantly surprised at the increase in soundstage 3D presentation and...

#8 AWG spade connectors??
