Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps
I own the Lumin X1, fantastic unit!I also owned a Pass Labs X350.5 and also demoed the X350.8.In the end, I preferred the Carver M350 tube Mono Blocks. To me, it is much more musical, open and with greater dynamics. Hard to believe a tube amp can ... 
Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables
So, I guess with every opinion there is another side.I received the Fidelium’s quickly and I was quite impressed with the packaging. I installed them fairly easy on my speakers.After listening to them for several days. In my opinion, these cables ... 
Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable?
I'm going to try using 12 ga,18, 24, 30 gauge .9999 solid  soft annealed silver wire. Each wire will be sleeved through individual PTEF tubing and combined at the speaker/amp terminals.I may even try them bare with no connectors.ozzy

Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable?
So, I am wonderin about using both a 12 gauge wire and a smaller gauge (perhaps 24 gauge) wire each sleeved in its own teflon tube but banded  together for each + and - terminal.This way, there would be a smaller wire for the skin affect for the h... 
Footers Under Power Conditioners?
lowrider57,Thanks for the link. It is odd though that they suggest to place them under the components feet.ozzy 
Footers Under Power Conditioners?
aj523,The 5000 units are great, but if you have a chance to place some of the Critical Mass footers underneath it, you will buy them.ozzy

Footers Under Power Conditioners?
aubreybobb,To put the Critical Mass break in in perspective... I added one set under my Carver tube mono blocks.  And then about a month later I added another set under the second mono block. When I added the second set I noticed that the soundsta... 
Focal Sopra 2 owners - need your help with base plate measurements
From what I can determine (since the plate is curved quite a bit) the outside dimensions are  roughly 14" x 20".But, the Iso-Acoustics GAI 1's are a big improvement underneath the Focal's.ozzy 
Footers Under Power Conditioners?
Well I just received and immediately installed the Critical Mass Footers 2 1.0 version underneath the Niagara 7000. And though I know it will take much time to break in (or adjust), at this moment, I am clearly hearing better separation of the ins... 
Oppo UDP-205 Op Amp, Linear Power Supply
I bought the linear power supply from a guy in South Korea, and I think it is major improvement. It was a direct drop in replacement. I also have mine plugged into a Bybee and Niagara power conditioners. And I have Stillpoints ultra SS underneath.... 
Footers Under Power Conditioners?
Again, I say the Niagara 7000 is a different animal when it comes to power conditioning. It has some very large isolation transformers. That is why I think the Critical Mass footers could help. I don’t know for sure, that is why I asked the questi... 
Footers Under Power Conditioners?
Well, I did try the springs that Geoff sells, Stillpoints Ultra SS along with a few others I had. Best results was with the footers that are attached to the Niagara.ozzy
