| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Hi mains,I have found significant improvements by adding isolation to my last two pairs of speakers. Specifically, on a lark, I put Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference stands under my Avalon Eidolons (with spikes coupling the speakers to the ... | |
| Subpanel/Isolation Transformer/Dedicated Lines Hi Bill,Echoing the above, seems like you have a really good start. Regarding the dedicated lines and interference, running the lines seprately and not bundled is of course a good thing to do. You may also want to consider running shielded 10g... | |
| Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Platforms Hi Labro,One other comment - if you play a lot of vinyl, instead of putting $7k into the HRS rack, please take a look at using one of the active vibration isolation tables out there (such as Accurion, Herzan, etc) under your table - it will be a m... | |
| Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Platforms Hi Labpro,I am also dealing with the never ending isolation question, and to your direct inquiry, have been using HRS platforms sucessfully on a Music Tools Alica stand (somewhat similar to the Burmester stand; looks like some kind of MDF composit... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? Hi mmporsche,As several have noted above, auditioning and selecting an analog front end is probably the most difficult purchase in audio given the number of interdependent variables, and thus I wish you good luck in your search. I think Inna puts... | |
| The "Digital" listening experience By adequate isolation, I am guessing you are referring to component isolation from vibration (although I suppose you could be referring to acoustic isolation as well). With that said, I think your analogy is a reasonable one when applied to less ... | |
| Do you use an autoformer/transformer preamp/volume control? Hi tommylion,I only have the original grey MDF version, although it has been modified to have a selector switch and an added input (Serge would cringe if he read this). It's still better than any active preamp I have heard (when used in the right... | |
| Do you use an autoformer/transformer preamp/volume control? I use a Silver Rock Transformer Potentiometer, also own a Doshi Alaap V2.1 (which is an active preamp that uses transformer attenuation), and previously owned a Promitheus Signature TVC and a Music First TVC. | |
| Under $1000 each component used. What would it be ? OK, I'll take a shot. I am limiting to components with which I have had personal experience, a number of which I currently own, (including the Ayre, the Truth, all the cables, and the Shelter), or have previously owned. I include both a full fun... | |

| SS Amp for Avalons Symphonic Line Kraft monos for solid state.For tubes, I have not heard anything that beats the CATs with Avalons. | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought Placette Audio Passive. I am a passive enthusiast, and had been on the lookout for an exceptional passive line stage with the convenience of a remote control. After reading all of the reviews, it seemed that my long sought-after goal had been re... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table Hal253,First, kudos on a nice, well balanced system. I recommend you do some demos of the latest version of the Linn LP12 with all the PS upgrades against other tables if you can, but if pushed, my recommendation would be to replace the Linn. As... | |
