New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
I have only used 3 RCA Stopits, 3 AC Stopits and mounted one ecard inside my amp. The sound is way more transparent, faster, cleaner, lower noise, more dynamic, etc. No warm slushly sound here......the first word that comes to mind is "Vivid". It ... 
Synergistic Research Orange Fuses
George, you are adding the tox. Just stay off the tweak forums. You have no experience, therefore no knowledge. Your constant resistance starts all the tox. Let it go. Have fun. Love everyone....enjoy everyone. If we like spending money on fuses, ... 
Going Battery Powered
In my experience batteries do not have good current delivery.  You must use thousands of microfarads of capacitance across them and also bypass those caps with high speed super poly caps (at least styrene.).  I would use an inverter to get off the... 
Going Battery Powered
I recommend the inverter route.....I have the Yeti 400 (modded) on my modded Oppo 205 and will be adding a modified 2000 watt pure sign wave inverter on my class D power amp.  Cost will be about $800 including a battery and charger.  Then I will b... 
Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators?
http://enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0119/Goal_Zero_Yeti_400_Lithium_Portable_Power_Station_R...Basically he says this $400 thing sounds as good as the $20,000 German Stromtank goodie which was better than the PS Audio P20.I use one of thes... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
Very nice, Please try lifting the speaker cables (and all cables) off the floor....you can even use cardboard risers....that is what I use. If one of my cables (interconnect, speaker, power or ground) touches the floor for one inch it ruins the so... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
Frank,Fantastigoric! I think that is a new word...he he I bet you have incredible sound. Our mutual friend Mas has told me of the transformation of your system by adding the PPT stuff. If you seriously modded the player you would have mucho better... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
What I am saying is that any one tweak will not get you there.....no matter what colors you like.  Just talked to another one of my friends and he likes his Herbies better than his $200 Marigo mat on his modded Oppo 105 used as transport into modd... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
Doing one thing does not make a whole. You must do multiple treatments to the CD and to the player/etc. to really hear what is on the disc. Sand the outer and inner edge to get rid of the reflections. You must black the edges and the entire top of... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
My CD treatments include:1. Sanding the outer and inner edge with sandpaper to reduce shine and reflection.2. Black the outer and inner edge and the entire top of the CD with flat black opaque paint marker.3. Apply Ultra bit Platinum Plus to both ... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
I have used various CD mats over the years and all have made a difference in sound.....some better and some worse. The Herbies Black Hole mat is the best I have ever heard and for awhile they were not being made.....Now I see they are back....get ... 
High value, giant killer speakers?
Talked to Ron at Marigo Labs the other day. He has the Tekton Encore ($8000). He thinks they are better than his King Sound Electrostats. He is going to mod them. The Tekton Moab has the same mids and highs with "merely’ two 12 inch woofs for bass... 
Open Baffle vs Box
Totally wrong.   The back wave can cancel some response of the front wave (less output) if the baffle is narrow and the frequencies are low.  To get low bass you need a big baffle, large woofs or servo woofs, Distort?  No way.  Open baffle speaker... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
This is so weird.  We have a guy here who thinks that one thing he makes up means something.  No one else would make up such a story.  You don't need double the wattage into 2 ohms to drive a 2 ohm load.  All you need is an amp that is stable into... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Two IceEdge modules definitely sounded better than one (Sorry, but true). Faster, cleaner and better imaging. My system is extremely revealing and I use naturally recorded music to evaluate.Eliminating the input connector is only one tiny mod I do...
