| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Just installed 8 Symposium Acoustics Rollerblocks Jnr HDSE modules under my 4s in place of the stock spikes. Since it's critical to maintain the plinth to floor gap, I've only utilised half a Rollerblock at each corner ie ball bearing and top cup ... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Listen guys, the purpose of this thread is not to bash Miguel. My one and only contact with him by private email took the form of a patently absurd claim for his product, esp. made worse by the fact that it was a situation that was theoretical and... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Hi Agear. Personally I don't care how good Miguel's Troy is, his claims in the one communication I had with him were quite absurd. I don't doubt Troy is the real deal, but I'm really allergic to the hard sell.Fraser of Kog Audio in the UK is quite... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Thank you, Ian and Phil. I'll contact Graeme in Sep, but I suspect I'll be sticking with my pair, esp. with these thoughts on the Mk2 V2's poss lower capacitance. Will post answers. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup From what I can gather, i DO have the MARK TWO BSs, even though they have the same brass faceplate as the originals (and are identical visually in every way). I surmise this from the fact that my pair has the soft start power up to protect tube we... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Avon, I'm a tad confused. The ex-demo Audion Black Shadows that I've purchased, which I continue to love btw, sport the Brass faceplate that shows no indication of 'Mk' status. My dealer, who I reallly trust, and is not a hard sell merchant, and w... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Argh! I wish you hadn't said that. I actually didn't have a chance to do an A-B re Mk1 to Mk2. The dealer didn't feel there was much of an improvement to be had, I might still be able to step up.If not, no great shakes, I'm really happy with the M... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Audiotunesx, a few years ago I went from running my system straight out of the wall to using a Burmester 948 power conditioner. I achieved a fantastic improvement in consistency, transparency, delicacy and detail retrieval, but something wasn't qu... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Just installed a spade-spade Apollo from my Straingauge energiser box earth terminal to the Silver Tellus, and a balanced-spade Apollo from the spare balanced output of my Emm Labs CDSA SE cdp to the Silver Tellus - all alongside the rca-spade Apo... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Lawrence, and Raul, please be a bit more specific than just saying "different". | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Harold, as far as I can tell ALL the Soundsmith Straingauge models are EXACTLY the same cart, only the electronics are different. Personally I didn't want to get rid of my pre amp, so more complicated electronics were not needed by me. hence the c... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Sorry James, just the Mk1 I think. It was ex-demo, but the dealer had put some mods in to make it quieter, apparently the main difference being the Mk2's lack of noise. There may even have been a tube upgrade. | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system About to audition a couple more Entreq Apollo i/cs, a balanced one for my Emm Labs CDSA cdp, and another spade end one with my Soundsmith Straingauge SG200 energiser box. Prev phono performed worse with an Apollo, so this will just be speculative.... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Finally had my Mk2 Straingauge dialled in correctly esp re azimuth, vta and vtf, for a while now.It's really the best performing cart I've ever had in my system (which incl. Transfiguration Temper and Orpheus, Lyra Skala and Parnassus, Roksan Shir... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil, I know you've had your Black Shadows modded over time, I believe Hovland Musicaps. Talking to my Audion dealer he said that the base Level 5 can be taken up to the ultimate Level 9, this involving complete silver wiring, approx 35lb of the s... |
