| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Onhwy61 and Sebrof,Of course, I knew this was coming. It was too obvious. With all due respect, your comments show a complete misunderstanding. There is absolutely no contradiction at all -- except that which is caused by elements that do not matc... | |
| Have you heard or own the Shakti Hallograph Unless Elizabeth's remarks are based on using Shaktis in her system they can be easily ignored.I have had Shaktis in my system for quite a while and would not be without them. They are an essential room treatment. Even Ted Denney at Synergistic Re... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Elescher,I didn't allow any break-in time because both plugs were well broken in -- thousands of hours.Mrtennis,This is subjective. Each person is judging his own system. Who knows your system better than you, after all? It is not a matter of disa... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Elizabeth,In my system the change I described was much more than a slight variation. It transformed the sound from lifeless to highly musical -- not a subtle change. Amazing, really -- just by changing the location of two plugs. | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Jon2020,Yes, my system is very resolving and has reached a level of continuity and holography that I really never thought it would reach.Thank you for your observations. I find them very informative. In fact, they are so detailed that I wonder why... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Jon2020,This is an interesting observation -- one that I had not heard before. Since I live overseas, taking their 30-day trial could get complicated -- and expensive, with all the back and forth shipping. Based on what you have to say, the QOL do... | |
| Marantz sa-1 stop playing Photon46,Agreed. But for me it not only solves the problem of a one-box breakdown leaving me high and dry. It also give me the opportunity to have two excellent components in my system. The PS Audio transport and the AMR DP-777 are a match made in... | |
| Marantz sa-1 stop playing Photon46,I had a bad experience with an EMM CDSA SE blowing up on me. Though I was able to have it repaired I sold it off. The experience taught me how vulnerable 1-box solutions are. I now have a PS Audio transport and AMR DP-777 DAC and could no... | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced I use Bybee and Shakti and some other quantum tweaks and they are all very effective.Unless you use these items in your system your opinions are merely opinions. I prefer facts to opinions. | |
| Vintage Marantz I have a Marantz PM 15 integrated amplifier -- the original 1993 model. I believe this was the top integrated made by Marantz. I am delighted with it and would probably only part with it for a VAC integrated amplifier. | |
| Difference between Marantz PM-11S1 and S2 I have the original Marantz PM 15. I don't think the Marantz integrateds get any better than this:http://www.thevintageknob.org/marantz-PM-15.htmlAs far as I am aware. | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Furthermore, when you think about it, what does blackness mean when used by makers to describe the sound of a cable in an audio system? Does it mean the cable produces sonic images that are clear, or clearer than before -- more detailed or transpa... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? I have no idea why this innocuous post of mine was disallowed seeing that my earlier post about black background was posted to the thread (above). So I will resubmit. Surely discussing the black background that so many cable makers claim for their... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Tiltedhalos,I would also love to be there. But of course it will never happen. Cable makers would never put themselves in such a dangerous situation where it might be revealed that they could not even recognize their own cables. But I truly believ... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Furthermore, we have all read that the best cables do nothing -- they just allow the music to come through in all its naturalness. Then how come all of these interconnects, speaker cables and power cords from these 5 top manufacturers sound differ... |
