| Copper Sleeve over IEC This is far the cheapest way to improve your audio system and better than even switching power cords and cables. Everything improves. Tip use two at the male end of your cd player than one at the IEC end. Zero noise, more body and micro details. O... | |
| Proac Tablette Ref 8 Sig Vs 1SC I owned several Proacs and while they were nice, they all had a tough bright spot to them. My Dynaudio C5 killed them and most others speakers I've own, and I have now had my C5's for 7 years, wish I had more time to listen to them, but when I do ... | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT1 VS Dynaudio Confidence 5 The confidence 5 in room response is 33Hz and rolls off from there. In most rooms this is about as much clean bass you would need, and the key wood here is clean bass with definition. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC On Cd's players use two copper sleeves, one on each end of the power cord, your jaw will drop, in fact use two on the male and one on the IEC end. There will be no going back. | |
| Marantz SA-7S1 Vs Cary 306 and Esoteric X-03SE I owned them all and they are were sold. The Marantz SA7-S1 is till in my system after 2 years. | |
| Marantz SA-7S1 filters and noise shaper Use the filter that works the best with your gear, speakers and room. It was designed this way. The Noise Shaper works great, will improve slam and bass, just check which filter it works best with.My tube as a great video on getting the best out o... | |
| Those black boxes degrade sound? I owned MIT Oracle for a few years now 1.2V and 3.2V proline. They are not smeared, bright, dull, dark, slow or fat. They match up to your gear due to the variable impedance switching. The cables cost but in a well designed system can be the cherr... | |
| Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? When folks are making $$$$ finding pulled tubes from old TV shops and where ever they of course will say the best. I heard several new tubes that sounded better, some of the NOS tubes can have a warmth to them, but dynamics just are not there or t... | |
| Pangea power cords I use them in my video system, they are a great value and will put a lot of the mom and pop stuff to shame, you can add this big names also. Like any power cord system depended. But for the asking price it's win win to try them. They take a month ... | |
| DCCA or Shunyata help? One word if you want to be done with power cords. LessLoss. | |
| LessLoss Signature vs Synergistic Python CX Hard to beat the Lessloss. For once proven design and not snake oil wins out. This are priceless. | |
| These new POLK LSiM's look tempting Trance,If You have a pair of Confidence 5's your done. This baby is one hard speaker to beat. You have to really go way way way up in price. Polk's will be nice I'm sure, but not in the same class as you 5's | |

I tried a lot of the other mentioned, I liked the porter ports better than anything I tried up to $145.00. I like these Masetro even more, I would agree with what Hifisound guy says. These ar... | |
| Preamp inverts phase question: To keep it simple. My preamp (C2300) XLR's are wired different than my Marantz SA7-S1 CD/SACD player. So the signal that reaches the amp is inverted. So I have two choices, one is to use the electronic phase switch on the CD player or to flip the ... | |
| what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh McIntosh C2300 will be around long after Shindo. Nothing against Shindo but with this market slowly dieing survival will be tough for the big names, the small ones I really have a hard time buying. What happens when they are gone who going to repa... |
