| Moon AKA Simaudio announces new line of speakers. If they are not as good as the monitor audio speakers I don't want to hear them as monitor audio speakers are bad. Hopefully they are not just another cheap Canadian speaker there are so many of those made there developed in the national research ... | |
| How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp? Have a look at a canary c803 there is a nos one on eBay at the moment it is a four chassis design so true channel preamplifier. Each channel has its own power supply and each channel has its own volume control. The volume control is a stepped res... | |
| Miraga M1 vs Totem Mani-2 @donpen21 Sorry you didn't understand my way of saying things. There has been more than one model of Mani twos. The original version had dynaudio drivers. Approximately 15 years ago. They in my opinion were much nicer than what was made after... | |
| Miraga M1 vs Totem Mani-2 I am familiar with both speakers as two different friends had them for a number of years. The earlier Mani twos had dynaudio drivers they were certainly a step or two up from m1 s not sure how the newer models compare the new Mani twos are not as ... | |
| Sonic frontiers If anyone found a Sonic frontier muffled sounding there was something wrong with a tube most likely or the amp it self. The sonic frontier amps and preamps were very good at tonal balance and resolution. Perhaps a tad slow huge sound stage. Don't ... | |

| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? Lol long list. The stereo room in the last two homes the current one has 5/8 OSB then a layer of 5/8 fire rated drywall. Six dedicated powerlines with the wire crossed over it self so nothing runs parallel. All the wires the same length. The wall ... | |
| Isolation Advice Needed Well In a room I had before putting new carpet down I glued and screwed 3/4 MDf to the floor a screw every eight inches bothways. That ended all the bounce in the floor I started doing that before laying ceramic tile floors in different homes a t... | |

Also consider the wire you are using. I had some older McIntosh stuff years ago that was really wonderful I should have kept it. Still have a couple ... | |
