Jolida Foz SS-X Tube buffer & soundstage expander?
@mesch I'd forgotten I was going to provide my thoughts on the SS-X.  I've been too busy listening to music and enjoying it! I'm using it in a vinyl-only system between a solid state phono stage and a solid state integrated amp.  My speakers are b... 
Jolida Foz SS-X Tube buffer & soundstage expander?
@namasteplenny The info that you got from Black Ice seems odd.  I have the SS-X with the Revel M106 bookshelf speakers, and the bass enhancement is clearly audible.  I find that even the neutral position, there is a slight enhancement of the bass ... 
Bookshelf Speaker Stand Difference?
To the OP - I have found that quality speaker stands make a significant difference - generally, the heavier and more inert the better.  A good stand can allow you to get the most out of your speaker.  In many cases, the manufacturer's stands aren'... 
What happened to JW Audio?
Just heard back.  He's closed up shop and is off to new endeavors.  A shame for us in audio, but he's doing well. 
would a moonstone cart be compatible with a sony ps-x7 turntable and scott receiver?
I really like the Moonstone.  It's a very smooth-sounding cartridge.  Easy to set up and easy to listen to.  I have really enjoyed it. 
ISO Pucks with Harbeth and Sklyan Stands
@kalali makes a good point.  I use Herbies Gliders under the spikes of my stand, and it makes a huge difference.  (I have suspended wood floors) 
What happened to JW Audio?
I just sent an email to the only address I had asking him how things are going.  Will let you know if I hear anything back. 
ISO Pucks with Harbeth and Sklyan Stands
By the way, Rollerblock Jrs also worked pretty well for me with the C7 - much cheaper. 
ISO Pucks with Harbeth and Sklyan Stands
When I had the Harbeth C7, I used Stillpoints Ultra SS between the speaker and my Sound Anchor stands.  They were extremely effective.  The only drawbacks are that they are expensive and it's easy to knock the speaker off the stand if you (or your... 
Schiit order issue - anyone receiving shipments?
I had a similar problem.  I ordered something that said "ships in 3-5 days" on the site, but the confirmation email said that delivery would take about two months.  I quickly canceled, and they refunded the money immediately.  I chalked it up to p... 
What happened to JW Audio?
I love his cables - some of the best bargains in audio.  Hope he will be back on Audiogon soon. 
Best Power cable around/prefer under $300....
Agree with both Anticables and Audio Envy.  Very good values. 
Jolida Foz SS-X Tube buffer & soundstage expander?
I just got mine yesterday.  Will give a report after I have a few days to play around with it. 
Frail and Bedazzled
Once I got my vinyl setup, I quickly stopped listening to digital.  I'm sure that there are digital systems that I would enjoy as well, but in my room and at my budget vinyl is far more enjoyable.  I also find that when I sit down to listen to vin... 
Former Special 40 - Advice on next purchase?
I have a room similar to yours in many ways - it's a little smaller (12x15), but has a window at one end.  When I first moved in, I set my stand mount speakers up in front of the windows (with thick drapes over the windows), but my system didn't s...
