| What piece(s) of equipment would you most like to try? After hearing lots of talk about Tidal speakers I would love to try the Piano Diacera's in my system. | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor My REL's are down firing. I've always found that they sounded less boomy when I moved them out of the corner and more into the center of the room. They tightened up more when placed away from any walls, though it requires a bit more volume in thos... | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? The following are free, and are probably the most important things you can ever do.- check the set-up of your speakers, and correct it if they are off even by a little bit- try putting some natural room treatments at the obvious spots and see if i... | |
| Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV? When you call VPI next ask them about the Classic platter with the ceramic coating. They made a few of these around the time they were discovering the 3D arm, but never sold them openly. They are a stealth item, so to speak. The ceramic helps damp... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? If you haven't participated in a "cable matters / no it doesn't" debate | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? I can honestly say that I have changed my daily routine of visiting forums, to maybe twice a week, and then I only look at and read maybe 1 or two posts on any given site. Sometimes, most times, I might reply to one.You guys should feel lucky, you... | |
| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement Magic fairy dust ... but you will need at least $5000 worth of it.But seriously, I owned the same amp as you. Driving it with a passive preamp sure does give you transparency in spades, but if you want to hear music, for real, I suggest you get yo... | |

| Triode Wire Labs High Power Digital American I use TWL power cords on my entire system. I have the 7+ on my amp and used to have the 8 on my CD player. Upgrading to the Digital American on CD's made a nice improvement for me. There is a difference in sound between the copper plug and the rho... | |
| New format, dislike..... Generally it is fatiguing on the eyes. It is difficult to distinguish between thread headers and what is written under them. The amount of real estate this takes up is not necessary. Too much open space. It is not a natural flow of the eye from on... | |
| Raleigh, NC - Audio Club Head on over here for other NC audiophiles - there's a meeting tomorrow:http://www.audionervosa.com/index.php?topic=5606.0 | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? Yeah, Apogees are old and have been around for quite a few years now. Yeah, you have to buy them used and hope that they don't buzzzz on you. Yeah, they are inefficient but there are plenty of amps around these days that can handle that. Yeah, the... | |
| Fozgometer I love my Hagerman Piccolo step up. Just a simple twist of the knob and I can select from 6 different loadings. So much nicer than soldering and de-soldering resistors inside a box, and the sound is transparent and musical too. Thanks for a great ... | |
| Ayre CX7e: Is the final mp upgrade worth the money I know the new transport is different from the original - different manufacturers. The original develops an intermittent problem with age where it just won't read some disks. | |
| Ayre CX7e: Is the final mp upgrade worth the money Yes, and while you have it back at the factory have them check out the transport mechanism. They have changed to a new one that fixes the "will not play everything" problem that the original transport begins developing with age. |
