Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
According to Psag, it looks like I am not the only one with the same perception -- thin-sounding Shunyata cables. Psag,Running cables in series is no more about tone controls than running single cabling is, IMO. You expect tone with a single cable... 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Douglas_schroeder,Sorry, your logic is completely off track. You have not "tried this" in my system using the specific Furutech and Shunyata configuration that I use. You speak from "experience" but your experience is limited to the cables that yo... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Davidpritchard,When I heard the IPC Energizers in Singapore they did exactly what you say -- moving the music more into the room and making it more palpable. The bottom line is a sound that is more "real".I am going to take a gamble. I just got an... 
What is Musicality?
Mapman,Foot tapping and other involuntary body reactions are a good indication of musicality. Of course, you can tap your foot or sway to the music consciously. I am referring to when you catch yourself with your body moving without having directe... 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Douglas_schroeder,If you could hear my system you would change your mind. There is no loss at all of precision or information -- contrary to accepted audio "wisdom". The fact is that my system is at no "disadvantage" whatsoever. On the contrary, i... 
Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin?
Hi Zd542 and Guidocorona,The tonality/harmonics are not what I like to hear. I would call the sound thin. There is definitely something lacking. Maybe it's just my system.I have been using DIY Furutech PCs, ICs and digital cables in my system, on ... 
Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle
I think many people may get better results with Furutech GTX-D rhodium receptacles. 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Davidpritchard,Yes -- each element covers a different aspect of SQ. Most of the time these various devices interact well together in my system. But not always. It is interesting that you could not get the Audio Magic PEAs to interact well with you... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Tbg,I have found that placement of accessories and tweaks is crucial in my system. If one element is not in the right place or not at the right height then the SQ reacts, often unpleasantly. 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Davidpritchard,ART works well with all the other room treatments in my system. I have 10 Schumann devices, DIY HFTs, Audio Magic PEAs and Wave Stabilizers, QRT products, Steinmusic Harmonizers and some other things. I auditioned the IPC energizers... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Tbg,When you say "Many things that are heard are difficult to account for with our limited understanding of nature." You hit the nail on the head. There is so much that we do not know that we can only speculate and theorize about. From my point of... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Davidpritchard,Thanks for this valuable information. I have a couple more Magnetrons and one more Gravitron coming. Regarding room treatments, there is a lot going on in my room with Schumann devices, Steinmusic Harmonizers, Symphony Pros and vari... 
Is a high priced Line Conditioner needed
Atmasphere,I have your S-30 power amp -- a truly great amp. Here is what I do to optimize my front end. I use a medical grade isolation transformer into the wall and a Shunyata Triton into the isolation transformer. Then I have a Monarchy power re... 
How Things Change
Tmsorosk,I am on board with your statement that "I'm not done upgrading, never will be, so I'm not done learning about audio and music."Just when I think I am done tweaking and tinkering another idea or product or opportunity presents itself -- an... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
I have eliminated a lot of room treatments and tweaks and added others since I posted to this thread. But ART stays put. I just fine-tuned the placement which is crucial for optimizing the ART system. I am using it with my own DIY HFTs. The intere...
