| What a sad world we now live in....... I'm playing at least one Doris Day album (LP) per night for five nights as a tribute to "The Girl Next Door." She sounds terrific, especially on the "Day by Day" album. It's the kind of mono recording that has you wondering ... who needs stereo? D... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Mac ...I'm doing the same as you ... discovering recordings all over again. Those late 50s and early 60s LPs that were recorded during the Golden Age of Stereo are super fantastic now. I have a lot of early pre-stereo jazz albums. With The Gate i... | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact Inside a Power Conditioner a good thing? ^^^"Explosion date?" OMG!! The naysayers are gonna have fun with this one. *lol*Tuffy ...Very nice review. Treating the inside of the power conditioner is a great idea. I did mine completely, including the inside of the lid. There was a significan... | |
| "You cannot handle the truth" Then there's the guy who maxes out his credit cards to buy expensive audio equipment, then the bill comes and he can't make the monthly minimum payments. The equipment is put up for sale, the credit cards are paid off .... and the cycle begins all... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Night or day ... it sounds good to me. |Two of my audiophile friends who heard the results in my system have their Gates installed at this point. Frank | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Its been awfully quiet in this thread recently. Must be due to the fact that all of the "Gaters" are enjoying their systems more than posting on the Internet. Simply an amazing device. Frank | |
| High definition vs. tonal balance Excellent topic. It is amazing how many folks in the hobby believe that "transparency" is the end-all. Transparency, along with three-dimensional imaging and dynamics are all part of the picture. But if correct tonality isn't there, then the music... | |
| "You cannot handle the truth" Its most likely recently purchased equipment found out by the wife. Frank | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic ^^^ Its worth pasting the outside circumference of the base of power tubes also. Just the outside edge. Frank | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ lak ...When I installed The Gate, there were already tons of tweaks in the system. Even with all of the tweaks previously installed, The Gate has opened up the SQ to a point way beyond where it was before. I know this isn't the question you asked,... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I'm still amazed by what The Gate is doing in my system. Over the past two weeks, I've been pulling out vinyl recordings that I haven't played in a few years. What I remembered as okay recordings, now have new life. Little details, once obscured, ... | |
| Anybody planning on attending T.H.E. Show in Long Beach next month? I'm going with a friend. We're just going for one day. | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ roberjerman ...So, what happened when you installed "The Gate" in your system? No improvement in SQ? Nothing at all? Please enlighten us. Thanks...Frank | |

| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? I've been collecting records since high school. Started out with jazz and rhythm and blues. As the audio disease set in, back in the early '70s, my musical taste expanded and the collection grew. Now, if I were to make a rough estimate, I'd say th... |
