| Argent Roomlens,s ? Tom_nice shared his designs with me and I have made a couple, and they do indeed work. Thanks Tom!! | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Ken, you are being too kind. For a manufacturer to post a review of their product on this site and get away with it is appalling, much as I was interested in reading it. Am I getting too concerned about the thin edge of the wedge? Maybe. But this ... | |
| Long interconnects or speaker cables? If interference was the only issue... | |
| Long interconnects or speaker cables? Samir. My experience with the Wireworld speaker cables is that they are of at least moderate capacitance. I wonder if the longer length is therefore giving you a more relaxed and distant sound (or to put it another way, a less forward sound) and t... | |
| Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor Fleone. I should have stated in my post, that the opinions I expressed were directly related to the experience I have had using each of the materials I listed. But I hoped that would go without saying. Yes, I have tried Granite under speakers and ... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Draudio, your post tends to indicate you have missed the point. I, for one, believe that vibration control can be regarded as the "great uncharted territory" for audiophiles. Your theories and those of others such as Neuance conform fairly closely... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Draudio, since you have been challenged to let us know your connection with Sistrum/Audiopoints, but are neither confirming nor denying, then I suspect most readers of these posts will feel as I do, that your opinion is profit-motivated and that y... | |
| Is the Monarchy DIP effective? The Genesis is somewhat different. In simplistic terms the Monarchy DIP is just a phase locked loop jitter reducer, while the Genesis Digital Lens stores the data stream and re-clocks it, as well as re-dithering. | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion With some hesitancy, I want to just support what Ken is saying. I am a bit hesitant, because it may be my repeated enthusiastic descriptions of Ken's products which have encouraged this suspicious promotion of the Sistrum gear and Audiopoints. Whe... | |
| Is the Monarchy DIP effective? I found a useful improvement between a Cal Delta/Alpha combination - principally in improved refinement, smoothness (less grain), and resolution. With better two box combos like my Theta Data III and Gen Va DAC there was a degradation in the sound... | |
| Acoustic Zen vs. Coincident CST I cannot be definitive about this, but I believe the Coincident speaker cable is not a low-capacitance cable, not real high either like the Goertz, but at least moderate capacitance. This will cause it to sound too laid back and fuzzy with a few a... | |
| Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor Stones under speakers on a wood floor can improve the sound in many ways, but always bring some artifacts of the sound of the stone along to the party too. Therefore you need to choose the stone carefully. Granite is not good. Impure marble, soap ... | |
| THETA GEN 5A OUTPUT GAIN CHANGE MOD Rrlibv, I agree. I reckon that people have got the wrong components in their system if they feel the insertion of a preamp improves it. The biggest problem is usually inability of a DAC to drive a power amp, but you do not have such a problem with... | |
| A Tombstone in the Living room???? I find that stones are OK to very good if placed under turntables or speakers, or under equipment racks, but are not good as shelves for CDPs, DACs, Preamps or Amps. They all "ping" to some degree and you can hear it with electronic components, an... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance I have changed nothing in the system recently, and have just left the Neuance in place now for some weeks. It may be the weather (warm and humid - sorry, just had to find an excuse to remind you guys it is summer in the better half of the world), ... |
