| I knew room treatments were in my future. @golden210 @ebmTo each his own. I found pillows in the corners behind the speakers to work better than Stillpoints Apetures, actually much better. My dealer has many of Aperture's, and in his room, they seem to work OK.I moved to GIK Impression... | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 @ebm I appreciate the comments. | |
| Audio envy - dang! @lalitk I took a look at your system and see you have spent some time assembling a pretty amazing music maker.If you don't mind, I'd like to hear about your experiences with Audio Envy. The pricing is quite reasonable and it would appear with gear... | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 @ebm I'd like your insight as you indicate that Purist is better.I am using Nordost Heimdall 2 for XLR and AES and speaker cable, Frey 2 PC on source, and IsoTek Optimum PC on amp/preamp.I'm truly interesting in your input on this topic. Where in ... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night @david_ten Thank you so much for sharing that quote from Margaret. | |
| When to Poweroff amps and preamps Unless they run a very high-biased Class A, I'd never turn them off but to change a power cord, etc. My gear is rarely turned off.If tubes, then yes, turn on to use and then turn off when done due to heat and the lifespan of the tubes. | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night As a few have alluded to, Al IS that example we should all aspire too. I simply cannot thank Al enough for that. It is not easy, yet his example will persist forevermore.Margaret, my condolences to you with prayers asking for comfort from the Lord... | |

| Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review I'll echo the comments here by other ER owners. This is for me, the best $640 I've spent in audio. I've been through several Network cables (Cable Matters 8 and Supra 8+ and Monoprice 5e) and they certainly make a difference as well, though not on... | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought Wilson SabrinaWharfedale Elysian4 - it is no Sabrina, but it is the best $10k speaker I've personally heard. Either speaker plays well with Luxman, Line Magnetic. | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? @skyscraper Though I do not own a 507MkII, my close friend does. A power cord can and does make a very hearable difference. We demo’d an older Pangea 9, Nordost Blue Heaven, and Nordost Heimdall 2. It got better as you moved up the line. I’d say t... | |
| Debrox - maintenance for your ears @b_limo Great post. Too bad the mods deleted it. | |
| Debrox - maintenance for your ears I figured that this conversation would devolve! Probably why I never posted it before. But at $6 or so, this stuff keeps your ears in fine working order. I use it twice a month and at that frequency, the bottle lasts for more than a year. | |
| Why was the entry level line at Audio Research eliminated? I'm not sure about the entry level models specifically, but ARC have removed sku's for the REF10 phono and preamps and others I forget. A dealer I spoke with earlier this week said ARC have only 7-8 sku's now because parts have become unavailable. |
