| Aurios under JC1 monoblock's? Some interesting responses here...Tvad, as much as I appreciate the offer, I think I'm gonna pass. But I did read all the info on Symposium's website, very comprehensive. I had never really looked into them before. But the more I read and research... | |
| Importance of wall behind listener? It is interesting to hear the different opinions on this subject. But in the end it all comes down to the room your hi-fi is located in, the orientation of hi-fi in said room, and how much money one is willing and able to spend on acoustic treatme... | |
| Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso? Unfortunately, I just haven't had much time to sit down for critical listening under what I consider "proper" conditions. That's not to say that I haven't done any listening. With that being said, I haven't noticed any detrimental effects of the H... | |
| Aurios under JC1 monoblock's? Brian, I've heard/read many times that glass rings. What, if any, detrimental effects could this have on my amps and/or cdp which sits on Aurios Pro's w/Tungstan Carbide balls on a glass shelf? Am I not isolating from the glass with Aurios? I requ... | |
| Importance of wall behind listener? My sweetspot backs up to the rear wall. This is paramount for good bass slam and visceral impact. Move the seating position further into the room and bass starts to lean out. Even a few inches further into the room makes a difference. You can see ... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso I went from ARC LS25 MK1 to Calypso, and there is no going back. Too much info to reiterate here. See my thread on LS 25 vs Calypso. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1123175230&openmine&Perfectionist&4&5&st0and... | |
| CDP for Naim FWIW & IMO, I've had CD5i (on loan from my dealer), CD5X, and now CDX2 (which I own) in my system. I wasn't all that impressed with the cd5i, but it peaked my interest enough to go ahead and order a CD5X from my dealer (with no obligation to b... | |

| Sade - The Best of...... I have always loved Sade and I was fortunate enough to see her live about four years ago. And she really blew my mind at one point in the show where she shakes her money maker in a very "un" Sade kind of way! Nice lil' treat!I have Promise, Strong... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso -vs- Ayre K-1Xe preamps? Crump's personal JC1's huh??? Now those must be some professionally tweaked amp's. I'm quite envious... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso -vs- Ayre K-1Xe preamps? Thought I'd chime in since Audio Girl and I have chatted offline regarding the Calypso and since I own one. I've never heard any Ayre gear (nor have I ever heard maggie's). So I can't talk to that. I'd like to share my experience with tube noise i... | |
| Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso? I wish I could change my moniker... | |
| Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso? JD, that's promising info as a buddie of mine just told me he always felt they made the sound more closed in. But, I wanted to try them for myself. Should I just slap on all four, or do either the gain or output stage first? Any recommendation on ... | |
| Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso? I ordered four Hal-O's today. Will report my finding's after this next weekend for anyone interested... | |
| Mapleshade Silclear SGR, your bummin' me out. I bought this stuff 'cause of your rantings (lol). Oh well, live and learn I guess. I have nothing better to do with my time than to spend hours cleaning grease from tiny connections, cracks and crevices. One of my audiop... |
