Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs
Dave_b, I'm happy that you found the "Magical" power cord for your equipment. However, as good as the Transparent might be on your Krell, it might not be the "cat's meow" on another brand or type of amp. Thanks for your enthusiasm. I feel the same... 
Review: Mapleshade Heavyfeat/Heavyhats Tweak
Dave b, Which of the two sizes of the Heavyhats did you use for your amp? Also, how many and what location for best sound?

Oh, and adding a smiley face helps out too. (O:

Thanks, Grant. I try to be diplomatic about things and I do my best not to bad-mouth products whether they need it or not. I always remember the old saying that " one man's trash is another man's treasure." We all have our own set of unique ears a... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I hate to see this thread dying out, so I'll post that I'm still enjoying my original TP 2.0n preamp. One thing that I never mentioned, for those fervently following this thread, is that when I originally downgraded back to my original 2.0n versio... 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
Anyone else try the brass screw replacement and torque experimentation? I've been experimenting with different in.-lbs. and the results have been interesting. I've only tried 3-10 in.-lbs( I'm not so sure that my old Black & decker is accurate...

Well, the credit, although known by some for a while, must be given to the owner of Virtual Dynamics. I simply brought it up for discussion.

Hi Kirk, I used to own the Meadowlark Osprey. Funny how I never knew about the driver damping material, however, I never had to replace a driver while I owned them, nor did I ever have a thought of needing to check for their driver screw torque. T...

I wasn't aware of The Absolute Sound award as I don't subscribe to any reviewer mags any longer. Many years ago, I subscribed to them religiously. 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
Have you noticed an improvement with the felt around your tweeters? It makes one wonder why the manufacturer didn't do this if it does improve the speaker (as it is a cheap tweak). I guess the same question would apply to the manufacturer as to wh...

I had an old Black & Decker already. 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
Sorry, I'm not going to over do it with the torqueing. I might try it at 10 lbs. soon, though, to do a quick comparison. 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
Well, I guess I'll be the first to be in line for flames from the other side. I initially equally torqued all my stock screws to the same 8in.-lbs. Soundstage appeared to be a little cleaner and a tad more focussed and centered. Nothing really rev... 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
Some say that 25 years is a good number for being qualified as vintage. Here's an older AA thread: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/vintage/messages/11/111256.html
