| Shelves & Stand for heavy SS Amps. I just put my 150 lb SS amps on Sistrum SP101 platforms. I am very pleased with the results, which is interesting because I always found amps to be most reticent to many tweaks. The noise floor dropped with increasing clarity, depth, and weight to... | |
| Valkyrja speaker cable versis valhalla Gbmcleod,You may be correct that the Valhalla tend towards some leanness. And the whole concept of a 'transparent' piece of equipment is ridiculous. The Valhalla's strong suit is lower bass control, clarity, detail, and speed. They really seem to ... | |
| EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection? So much for letting one's ears decide. This cable has been trashed and discredited before even being produced. Amazing.What's going to happen when someone actually hears it, writes a thread here about how amazing it is, and then everyone else goes... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Users....Your Opinion please... I am running all Elrod Statement power cords. Not cheap, but provides incredible speed, detail, and lower-end control. It literally energized my system to a much higher level. I have everything in the Hydra, including 600 watt monoblocks. They cle... | |
| power conditioning - source vs amps I finally got to take the amps off my Hydra and compare the sound with and without. The Hydra is plugged into a dedicated circuit with wattgate outlet and an Elrod Statement powercord. I removed my 600 watt monoblocks and plugged both of them into... | |
| Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used I've yet to find a better speaker for full-throttle orchestral music than the Thiel 7.2s. They are excellent on solo and small classical pieces as well. A bit finicky, but magic when properly set-up with top equipment. I too had the the 2.3s prior... | |
| Power for Thiel 7.2 Kowkow, The Pass x250.5 is not enough power for the Thiel 7.2s. I would suspect that one would probably even need the x350 for the 2.4s. Overbudgeting on the speakers has essentially left you speaker-poor for the rest of the system. Thiel requires... | |

| Anyone using a 27ix/270 with a Purcell? Dennis,That's crazy talk. Next time you go on vacation, send me your powercords so I could compare. I'll pay for shipping both ways.Rob | |
| Is SACD a dead format? Sony is a lousy company. They are only interested in selling throw-away electronics for the massess. Anyone who is surprised that they dissatisfy the true enthusiast should only look to the last several decades of their marketing. They are like th... | |

| Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets What's the technical difference between these designated outlets? | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? Thanks for the replies. I am extremely happy with my speakers. With the repositioning I mentioned earlier, they are like a whole other speaker. I have them a little over 9 ft apart with no toe-in and I sit about 12 ft away. I have them in the livi... | |
| Walker SST contact enhancer Yes. The effect was a great palpability and suppleness to the music. I put it on the breaker, and both ends of the 10 guage wire connecting it to a Wattgate receptacle. It's still breaking in, though. Be careful, and always turn off the main break... | |
| Wadia 861 GNSC Reference Upgrade I agree that algorithm A gives the music sparkle and life that doesn't seem as apparent in B and C. The difference is quite subtle, and perhaps I'd be hard pressed to guess which mode I was in if blinded. My general sense is that the top of the fr... |
