Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs?
Thanks all. I suppose trying to have something cut locally makes most sense... 
Widespread Panic - Their best album?
Glad to see some additional comments on this thread. I absolutely love Everyday and it has actually become one of my "reference" recordings, especially since making some system changes shortly after picking up Everyday and Till the Medicine Takes.... 
Powering on/off amps with preamp trigger
As been stated...Pre on first, amps second. Amps off first, pre second. Zero volume and mute. I don't have a 12v trigger on my pre, but do on my monoblocks. I wired one amp to trigger the other amp (one less button to push), and the JC-1's have a ... 
Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
10-25-06: SeanPerfectionist: Given the fact that you're using mono-blocks, you wouldn't be vertically or horizontally bi-amping. You would simply be bi-amping with mono-blocks.Hmm, I guess I'm not fully understanding then. But I decided to pass on... 
Tim Commerford Audioslave bass tone
Can't get past all the screaming that Chris Cornell is doing... 
coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse
I've not heard the eclipse, but I have configured my entire system around VR-4 Gen III HSE's. The VR-4's continue to amaze with every upgrade. I can't see myself changing speakers anywhere in the near, or long term for that matter. I will say that... 
Widespread Panic - Their best album?
I picked up Everyday and Till the Medicine Takes. Everyday is a great album, not a bum track on it, and IMO, it is a very good recording. It is warm and inviting with great weight and bass. If you like rock, I highly recommend that you add this di... 
Naim CD5x versus CDX2
Well, I've always isolated all my cdp's. I currently use Aurios Pro and Pro-Max bearings under all my gear, including amps. But I really never noticed the Naim cdp's being any worse than others w/o isolation. I'm a firm believer in isolation thru ... 
Naim CD5x versus CDX2
I went from a (new) CD5X to a (used) CDX2. Muzikat has pretty much nailed it. They are both fine machines. Unfortunately I did not get to do an a/b comparison between the two. A used CDX2 is absolutely worth the upgrade over the CD5X. I never did ... 
Von Schweikert VR4 III SE vs. VR4 SR4
Surely there's been more head to head comparisons between these two by now? 
Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
Read the entire thread, still need advice from the pro's here. Short and sweet...Running VR-4 Gen III's, Aesthetix Calypso, Parasound JC1's.I may have the opportunity to purchase another pair of JC1's at a very reasonable price. VSA does not disco... 
Widespread Panic - Their best album?
Caught the Austin City Limits' show again last night that I referenced on 2/4/06. I guess I was in a better frame of mind last night, 'cause I was blown away. These guys are way talanted! Again, a terrible recording for some reason though. I still... 
Mapleshade Silclear
I know Sgr, your original musings is what made me order SilClear in the first place. I'm just reporting what are my honest observations, I feel it's important enough to keep this thread alive and kicking. One of the reasons, or should I say the ma... 
Mapleshade Silclear
12 month's to the day with Silclear on all signal and power cables. Zero degradation to these ears... 
Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST?
Accidently ground a binding post on a JC1 to the chassis and all it does is blow the two 12amp fuses, F7 and F8, on the main circuit board. How do I know this? 'Cause I'm a "techie." I've been wrenching on electronics for 18 years. There's nothing...
