Help with room treatments
I have Tube Traps behind the listening position. Also, there are Shatki Holographs in each corner of the room. All were effective, but the most effective of all were the ten Synergistic Research HFT’s placed in the room according to the directions...

ARC Ref CD-8 compared to CD-6 and/or Ref CD-9
I've had the CD-7 since new. I sent it back to the factory for the power supply upgrade when that was first available.  I'm using SR Black fuses and Herbie's tube dampeners in the unit. Doesn't sound "thick" to me by any means. It just plays music...

Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers
I've had the Legacy Signature III's in the system for many years now. Why Legacy stopped making the Signature III's is beyond me. Its a great speaker. If it were not for my smallish room dimensions, I'd own the Legacy Focus ... the old ones, not t...

N.E.A.R. 40Me speaker-any info
For the money, the N.E.A.R. speakers were a bargain. I have a pair of N.E.A.R. speakers that needs to be re-coned. Does anyone here have a link to their site,or are they out of business. I’ve looked and can’t find them. Thanks ...Frank
