| SS amps for merlin vsm The Marantz PM-15 (the original 1994 model) and the latest TSM mmi monitors are a match made in heaven. | |
| Strangest Tweak? Manoterror, Can you get me the name of that facial cream? | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hi Pubul57, I am not talking about a perfect evaluation that would take all possible permutations into consideration. That would obviously be impossible. I am talking about a shoot-out that would use more variables, not all possible variables. I m... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hi Tvad, kindly elaborate. Oy vey voos? | |
| Strangest Tweak? Hi Sebrof, If you wait for "science" to "prove" something that your ears already hear then you can wait a very long time. Those who won't trust their own ears are those who lose out. "Science" says I should have been dead years ago yet here I am 2... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hi Tvad, The relevance 4 years later is the same as if the shoot-out were done today. APL and EMM and the other makers have all brought out improved models but that is irrelevant. What is relevant, IMHO, is that no matter what models are used for ... | |
| Strangest Tweak? Why should something that works be strange? Typically, many people have opinions about things they have never tried or not tried in the same way others have tried them. So their opinions are just opinions. If something works it works. The Totem be... | |
| Strangest Tweak? Think the beaks only work on speakers? Try them on your CDP or amp. | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hello Aplhifi, I appreciate your comments and observations. But the fact that EMM showed its need for power conditioning does not downgrade it, IMHO. Many systems need power conditioners to maximum their potential. The fact that APL does not need ... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic I had SR Au79 ICs and Tesla Quad (specially QTd) SCs in my system for a few months. They were good but, like all cables, dependent on the other components, plugs and tweaks in my system to maximize their potential. Synergy is everything. I have re... | |
| Oyaide Update: Regarding my earlier posting about the P-079 I changed things around. I cut the stock plug off the step-down transformer and spliced it on the end -- the result was dramatic. The transformer now leads via a Master Coupler to a 100-volt Mar... | |
| Oyaide I have also been experimenting with Oyaide plugs and IECs -- replacing the stock plugs and IECs on the ends of Synergistic Research Master Couplers. The effect has been nothing short of astonishing especially with the P-004 and C-004. Resolution, ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hello Aplhifi, Thank you for your reply. I understand this difference between EMM products and APL products. As you rightly point out, this is an important consideration when looking for a system that will best suit one's needs. | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hello Aplhifi, Thank you for your comments. They reaffirm one specific point that I was alluding to. Some players do well when configured with a specific piece of equipment and others may do better with a very different set-up. So if you compare b... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hello Sebrof, I understand but there was far more going on with this shoot-out, IMHO. The organizers had no obligation to do anything but since they went to the trouble to do the shoot-out and one of the manufacturers was present there was a certa... |
