| Best sounding PC for adudio may vary Disclaimer: MANUFACTURERJayb77,At the risk of hijacking your thread, I wanted to add my two cents. We manufacture the Blue Smoke Entertainment Systems Black Box Custom Audiophile PC, so this a topic near and dear to my heart and wallet. The Black ... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum- How good? Disclosure - I'm a former Gryphon dealer and current Gryphon Mirage preamp owner. Among other Gryphon products, I've owned the Antileon Signature stereo and mono amps. I've not owned a Colosseum stereo or monos, but have heard the Collosseum stere... | |
| Seeking Ten Years After song It has been a while, but I'm pretty confident that it's on the Recorded Live album. Ron. | |
| Rives Audio Consulting - Advice? I had a Rives designed level 3 room, which I ultimately ripped out and replaced with one designed by Matts Odemalm, of SMT, in Sweden. I also witnessed the same transformation of another local room (Rives Level 3 room to SMT). My experience was qu... | |
| Positioning of component racks If you decide to locate on a side wall, make sure you don't place racks/components near a first reflection point. Reserve that location for proper diffusion. In most applications, I would suggest locating racks between your speakers, but not more ... | |
| iPod to a Benchmark Media DAC-1 D/A I agree with Jax2. The MSB I link, with the MSB modified iPod, does provide a digital output directly from the iPod. To the best of my knowledge, it is the only product in production that allows for this. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a... | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? Boa2, I'll have to refrain from releasing my zen restraint series until I receive your guide to research methods:-) You missed my written ramblings under "Answers." I pop my head out every now and then. In response to Audio999, if Skull doesn't re... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Yes, Ronfr, I sell Rockport speakers, among others. In 2004 I wrote on Audiogon that the WAMM was my favorite speaker. It was at the time and no, I wasn't a Wilson dealer. I have written positively about Transparent Cable, for which I am not a dea... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I second Ozy's choice...the Rockport Arrakis by a considerable margin. | |
| Room Issues Call Rives audio, or look on their site. Perhaps a Level 1 package would help. Do try to stay in the larger room. | |
| HRS Isolation base They are fantastic! These are products designed by an aerospace engineer who worked with vibration control issues. Serious engineering and quality into these products. Notice the Brinkmann turntable review in Stereophile. Brinkmann chose HRS to ma... | |
| Causes of long term listening fatigue? Consider Vandersteens or similarly smooth speaker if in fact your speaker is lean or bright. If any component sounds very exciting upon first listen, it might be a problem over time. I also agree about electronics and will add cable problems as we... |
