| Has anyone tried the Synergistic A/C Master Active Very good cable - use it then disconnect the sheilding to see just how effective it is - very noticeable.Worked as well as anything else on mu Nu Vista integrated and does very well on the current owners Krell.Si | |
| BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost? Cartrdigemans Isolator,revelatory for $150 - wish I could afford one for all my tablesSi | |
| do any wilson watt puppy 7 owners put isolation I use aurio classics under my AP Virgo 111s on a hardwood floor. Seems to stop them 'loading' my small room and usual comments are 'delicate' sounding which I think is complimentary with 250watts of Pass Labs.Si | |
| Looking for a crystal clear / dynamic tube preamp A used Supratek Syrah/Chenin - I use a Syrah with my X-250.If you can source one with the(psuedo)balanced output, even better.The combo gives the best of ss & tubes.Si | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Fiddler,tried the Mini Khan Plus & the Ultra Khan rev2.The Mini Khan beats all on my cd player but neither comes close to the Harmonix on the Syrah (imo)Not happy with no grounds however,may be ok with 120V but a bit dangerous with the volt... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Ywlee,thanks for that pretty full description.My feeling is to try the EH, more for peace of mindover reliability matters than out & out sound.I like most of the RCA, CBS & Sylvanias more than the tubesI'm presently using.Probably get s... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Guys, thanks for that. I didn't exactly skimp on the price of some of tubes.I have had a few free replacements but not much luck with these either.I kind of get the impression that a good set of readings can be fairly meaningless unless someone... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century A slight change of tack, but important(at least to me).Have bought about half a dozen pairs of nos 6SN7s.Two sets of CBS Hytrons - both pairs have a noisy one in the pair and are slightly different so can't make a good pair.One pair of Sylvanias t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Microphonic ? I use my Syrah in a 10x12ft room, way too much amp and way too big speakers but have never had a problem in this respect.Both psu & pre-amp are floating on Dharumas which must help.It's the first time I have tried creatura tube d... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Doc,the Lucinda Williams is brilliant.I would not put a tube in my Syrah or anything else without a coating of Silclear and if I were you, I would just enjoy the pre as is.I have a box of nos tubes that work and a much bigger box of their partners... | |
| Absorbers or Diffusors for 1rst/2nd refl. points? Having great fun with the CARA !My positioning was almost spot on but the recommendations when adding room treatments helped lots. I think I would have went overboard for the size of the room had a not tried a simulation first. Now all I need are ... | |
| Any good pointers for room treatments with maggies Thanks for that guys,the title is a bit of a screw up.It's actually martin logan SL3's.Now have the cara software and it seems to be adamant an asymmetrical set up will be best - it is a very odd room but this is the first time the siftware has su... | |
| Absorbers or Diffusors for 1rst/2nd refl. points? Had a nice mail from Nathan at 8th Nerve.In no way meant to be disparaging - it'd be a brave man who said he never missed a mail and I realise people are busy.On vacation at the moment Nathan but appreciate your mail and will get back to you soon.... | |
| Best MC cartridge for a nott/schroder - under 2k Hi Frank,My post might make more sense given I was thinking in good old US dollars - a bit above what you mention but not wildly so.Hopefully one day I will find out - Dear Santa, a Schroder, any old Schroder - I think he only listens up till the ... | |
| Best MC cartridge for a nott/schroder - under 2k At a rough guess from the limited info I would suggest a sub 2K cartridge is a waste of time with any Schroeder arm & the nott? is just a waste of time altogether unless bass rocks your world!Si |
