| Absorbers or Diffusors for 1rst/2nd refl. points? Thanks for these.to Herman - took your advise the last time , was very impressed by the review, particularly as I have Virgos & know the importance of setting them up. Thinking we spoke the same language, mailed 8th Nerve but never heard back.... | |
| A musical "heads up" to any and all... check out Eastmountainsouth, album of the same name, Willy Mason "Where the Humans Eat" and Danny George Wilson "The Famous Mad Mile".Only heard one track of Eastmountains. but reminded me of Nickel Creek at their best. The other two are 'growers'... | |
| Supratek preamps--more laid back or forward ? Hi there,I have a Syrah & find that the pre itself tends toward middle of the road in the best possible sense.Dynamics & bass are better than any ss pre I've owned which makes it a bit more forward than most valve pres I've had, and all th... | |
| amp transformer hum through speakers ? Hi there,I should have qualified my reply by saying - if all else fails !Had lots of problems with grounding loops trying to improve? my house earthing. An extra earth spike connected to the system was great with one amp & caused an obvious an... | |
| amp transformer hum through speakers ? Hi Mike,if this is giving you problems, try a set of HT cberlinks between pre & power/s.Cured all sorts of problems I was having, probably due to breaking the grounds between the components. Mail me direct if you want to discuss more.Simon | |
| A musical "heads up" to any and all... Found the new album disappointing - prefer the first two.I picked them up by chance on the basis anything produced by Alison Krauss couldn't be bad.Check out the Creekdippers - you'll hate them then come to love them (the vocals are a bit eccentri... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Guess everyones too busy enjoying their Suprateks ! | |
| Shunyata Vs. Nordost power cables ? Any input welcome !I have loaned out my Taipan Vx and have borrowed a Taipan Alpha to try on the power amp.At present a Mini-Khan on cd and Harmonix cord on pre are giving very nice results - a liitle sat on but very natural.A very different sound... | |
| Shunyata taipan or Python, for BAT? Hi there,Rello, I wondered if you went from a Taipan Alpha or an old model Taipan to the Python Alpha ?- I agree fully with your description but find the Taipan Alpha an altogether better cord than the original Taipan.I use a Taipan Vx (on cd play... | |
| Best SACD-CD Player under $1000? Cayin SCD-50T - saw these for sale on Gon.220V but I can't see why they wouldn't convert.I bought one of these (I'm in the UK).Lovely looking, weighs a ton and very well built.Tube & ss outputs.Very, very good on cd and superb on sacd - actual... | |
| Getting and keeping records clean................ Hi Jyprez,I would agree with you - but find old jazz records like NOS tubes, usually a waste of money unless you have a machine that can repair years of abuse and another machine to fix noisy tubes would be a boon - I wonder, has anyone tried usin... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Anyone tried Mundorfs in a Syrah ? | |
| Oracle psu -help?? Table up & running using a 110V transformer.Spped fine after adjustment but I still need to find outif the psu is actually 220V.Adapted the SME board & fiited the Syrinx - sounds marvellous.The dc motor seems to add a clarity all my ac/mot... | |
| Shunyata taipan or Python, for BAT? Hi jim,the only way your going to know is trying them in your system, - the spice analogy was spot on. Get them on a try/return basis & make sure they are burnt in.They make more differnce than components and when u change components, you'll h... | |
| Record Clamps Hi Kel,Think Michell made/make one with a level - if it doesn't fit, lose the thick mat, or try an extremephono donut/skin & you shouldn't need a clamp.I had a DM 101 & about 40 tables since - what arm/cartrdige are you using with it?Cheer... |
