| Audio quest niagara 1000 The key to great sound with the Niagara 1000 is you have to let it warm up 24 hrs. It will improve over the next few weeks. I was ready to return mine until I was told to let it warm up and burn-in. It sound thin and bright till then. Value is out... | |
| Can't we all just get along? This is the time of Trump when only the negative matters to some and is focused on with the lack of respect for others. I dropped out of Audio Asylum because of the attacks on anything I mentioned. This should be a fun hobby with each one of us ha... | |
| Differences between various Quantum devices I own own the Qv2. They took a few days to settle in before I could judge them. They do what they say and have taken my system to a new level. I have a Qk1 coming to add to the mix per Nordost. This will plug direct into the wall out let that my c... | |
| Marantz SC-7S2 solid state preamp- how good is it? I have owned this Marantz 4 years now and it is without doubt the best solid state preamp I owned or heard in 30 years in this hobby. Does it all and is so balanced and transparent with ultra low noise and distortion. Use it with my K-01 Esoteric ... | |

| Recommended Pressing of Sgt Pepper's Mofi mix was all eq'd and stay away from them. Look for the British pressing or Japanese pressing. | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's The remix is great and much needed. It sounds fresh more balanced and less bright. What they did is what they did not bother to do in 67, take care with the stereo mix. All the time was spent on the mono, now all the mono was cab be bettered in th... | |
| Power conditioner vs line isolator Your set. Now you can enjoy. A better power cord then stock will improve the sound. Signal Cable makes a real nice power cord that works great, and affordable. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Jafant, I have not. I own a Esoteric K01 so I am not searching for a new player, if I was and for the money my money would go to the Marantz. They are and have always been great sounding, dependable and well made and if a audiophile small company ... | |
| Pangea interconnects? All cables are a crap shoot they all interact differently and the room acoustics play a bigger role. Having said that the Pangea I tried for the funny of it was every clean and fast sounding. Power cords 9SEii are quite good, takes some burn in. F... | |
| 15amp / 20amp PC's and Conditioners? Furman. Been in studio for years. Every well respected with sound designs without the BS from audiophile companies and their marketing crap. | |
| Furman Reference IT 15i power conditioner I own a Furman IT Reference 20i and it is without doubt the best addition to my system that I could have made. Dead silence, details, speed, body all improved with no down sides. Bass is clean and deeper. I’ve owned others from so called audiophil... | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? I must mention that power cord used will dictate filter setup. I have enjoyed Org with For 1 and then Org and SDYL 2 when I switched power cords. For more natural cords ORG and SDYL 2. For cords that add more weight then I use Org and FIR 2. On th... | |
| Power Cord Recommendation Big surprise for me was the Signal Cables. They have trounced big $$$ ones and much better sounding than Pangea they just sound dull and bright at the same time. You do not have to spend big dollars for quality cables. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I have owned all Marantz reference players and all have been superb. The SA 10 will join that great group. This one with advances and design. |
