| Getting great stereo sound from multi channel sys. Space and the WAF are what drove me to take the processor and multi-channel amp route... Theta Casablanca III and a 5 channel Theta Intrepid amp. Last year I home demoed an Ayre pre-amp against my Casablanca to see if I was missing anything. IMHO ... | |
| Stillpoints SS Ultra with speakers outriggers? When you study the Soundocity website you'll find they offer some of their platforms and spikes with different thread sizes. The Soundocity outriggers come disassembled so I don't see the need to ship the Stillpoints to them. | |
| Processor/AVR help and suggestions Don't overlook the Theta Casablanca processors. They're easy to set up and IMHO the 2 Channel stereo is hard to match. | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? I was pretty sure I was at the point of diminishing returns until I plugged in a pair High Fidelity interconnects. Those cables are the real deal. | |
| 3/8 thread Spikes... Go to soundocity.com... scroll down and click on the blue bar that says "Just Looking For Spikes or Other Accessories - Click Here"... In the column titled "Audio Accessories Tweaks & Isolation" click on the "Speaker Spikes" tab... scroll down... | |
| Multichannel amp... For the $$$, it's hard to beat a Theta Intrepid. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Chris launder... "The Loving Kind" | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Last night I replaced my Kubala-Sosna Emotion interconnects with High Fidelity CT-1's running from my Theta Compli Blu CDP to my Theta Casablanca III... and can say without reservation that in my system the CT-1's are a game changer. When I hit th... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Either you've got this high-end bug or you don't. I remember being awestruck the first time I saw my uncle's receiver... he laughed... took it off the shelf and gave it to me. The first time I heard a pair of AR 3's I stood there like a deer in th... | |
| Boltz CD racks? My Boltz rack sits on a wood floor... I put little clear plastic bumpers under the legs to tilt them towards the wall. | |
| 6 new Totem Hawks vs Used Wilson set-up ? I recently sold my Wilson Duette's and purchased a pair of Sonus faber Olympica I's. In my case, it was clear that my "just OK" amplifier wasn't up to the task of driving the "better" Wilsons... and that my "just OK" amplifier and the Olympica I's... | |
| What to use in polishing high quality wood speaker Avalon Acoustics encourages their owners to use Stewart McDonald Preservation Polish (stewmac.com). Whatever you use, stay away from silicone based products. | |
| Axpona observations From an educational standpoint, I felt the Holm Audio room with the Nordost rep was excellent. When the Nordost rep intentionally stepped on the Nordost Frey speaker cable... literally folding it in half... I about fell out of my chair. He did tha... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica II or III? I replaced Wilson Duette's with a pair of Sonus faber Olympia I's... in a room that's 24' by 17' with a 22' high ceiling. The Olympia I's fill the room just fine. | |
| Some Axpona thoughts I'll second the Quintessence room with the Sonus Faber Adia's... the Magico room IMHO was nothing special... and the TAD room was amazing. |
