The best CD Player for the money
I'm now seeing the Toshiba SD9200 available at $200.Combined with an MIT AC noise reducing power cord for another few hundred, and some type of economical isolation device which you should have anyway, you will have surprisingly decent sound. (My ... 
"Old" vs. "new" digital equipment
Bigtee. I believe you will find a 'dramatic' reduction in 'stridency' with some additional significant AC power isolation for your digital. A simple experiment may be to just try an MIT Shotgun AC2 power cord for digital. If you like it try compar... 
Clarinet concertos anyone?
Audphile1. Cheers to you(as well as our other partakers). Thanks kindly for your rather extensive input. I learned only last night that many pieces can be auditioned on You Tube. I was at a party and found that all the 'music' was coming off the n... 
Who really designed Revel Ultima-line..?
Interesting post and I agree with giving credit to all involved; however, what we hear from companies, especially enormous ones like Revel(Harman) is precisely what they feel is most appropriate for their overall marketing statagy, nothing less or... 
"Old" vs. "new" digital equipment
I'll say it again-"without exceptional power conditioning & isolation of your digital souces AC" you simply have not heard 'anywhere near' the potential of CD playback.WADIA 581 provides "twin 'fully balanced' sheilded toroidal transformers th... 
Sound proofing floor
Zargon, thanks for the info on the green glue. I'm doing some renovating and soundproofing for a suite and I'll definitely benefit from your input. 
Sound proofing floor
Please inform us of the acoustical engineers advice. It will be interesting to look at the cost benefit ratio. Without going into specifics your idea of a 2nd floor islolated from the 1st is 'very' effective and I think you will find this confirme... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Thinking over your problem again I think I'd be taking a look at reflections from the floor under your system. Your high ceiling may be changing what might normally be balanced by an 8 ft ceiling. Could you advise your flooring around your system ... 
Sound proofing floor
I appreciate your concern Pedrillo & I think it's wise to considerate those eventualities. I did mention we want the vinyl to be 1 solid piece and also to seal it to the walls(PL 400 will work permanently). I believe the vinyl will slow any ou... 
REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade?
What 'output' connectors are available from your 'amp'? 
How do I spend $5000? A CD player or DAC for my De
Bmdduck,depends on your digital player ac requirements. What power does your CD player draw? It will be found on a sticker on the back of the unit. Perhaps we can really improve your sound very economically; that would be fun. 
complementary power conditioners
Avguygeorge, I'm sure some conditioners would not be complementary but combining ones where one offers a reduction in common mode noise rejection and another works on differential noise rejection may be a different story.I have found experimentati... 
How do I spend $5000? A CD player or DAC for my De
I appreciate the desire to upgrade CD sound. You have not mentioned conditioning & isolation for AC. You have not heard your 9000 until you isolate its AC from the rest of your system.Experiment and you will be amazed to find the true capabili... 
Best bargain find ever ?
Used MIT conditioning & isolation gear. Not the complex all in one stuff, just units intended to be effective at one thing. Surprising,no, exciting value when used properly. 
Sound proofing floor
If you have a layout of your equipment and furniture that you will be using it would be a big help in determining placement of minimal support for your added floor. Don't forget to use T&G ply & glue the joints with something like PL400. I...
