| Sound Anchor Blue Dots or BluTack?? In my experience, Blue-Tack definitely affected the sonics and dynamics. Blue-tack was one of the worst I tried to my ear. | |
| Question about Morrow ICs? I should also have noted that the MA-3's had bass that was more powerful and defined than any interconnect that I've had in my system. The MA-2's are not that way, excelling in other areas. | |
| Question about Morrow ICs? In my system I found happiness with the MA-2 IC's with Eichman bullets. The system I used them in can be a bit forward in the midrange, and the MA-3's and 4's accentuated that too much. I found the MA-2's to be more delicate sounding, quiet and re... | |
| New Budget CD Player Hello Opteron05. I went from a Rotel 855 to a Marantz DV-6001. I love it. The old Rotel is one fine sounding budget player that served me for a very long time, but the Marantz is more accurate sounding and still quite musical. | |
| Standmount speakers - alternatives to spikes? I use Vibrapods with terrific success. Decoupling is best in my view if you like to preserve all the energy of the music. | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? To be honest, I tired a bit of the effort and went finally with the outlets that "did no harm" to how I wanted my system to sound. The best outlets dynamically (and I mean microdynamically as much as anything) were the original Eagles. Their clari... | |
| Speaker Bass I use Isoblocks (laminated cork and rubber) which do a decent job of decoupling without sucking much life out of the sound. The bass is pretty tight, but has a certain warmth to it that I enjoy. | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? Blindjim,A couple years back I went through several 15 amp outlets and was facinated on the impact they had on my CD Player, and to a lesser degree on my solid state integrated amp.I ended up with a dedicated line and my favorite outlets, which we... | |
| really bright sounding speaker cables Mapleshade cables are bright and very transparent. Like someone opened a window in front of you. | |
| Skylan stand tweeks I don't have Skylan stands, but my favorite fill was a 50:50 mix of dry sand and small steel blasting shot. Very lively sounding, but without the coloration or overdamping that I heard from other materials. | |
| Cowboy Junkies Thanks for all the advice. I do like the musical style of "Open". I also think its a very well recorded album. The sustain of the cymbals is quite something.I'll do some exploring with the information. | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required Wow Bob_reynolds. You sound so definite, but the poster should not ignore the other advice here. Cable changes in my system (5 1/4" woofers!) cured me of wanting a sub. With some cable combinations, I didn't want to listen to music. With other com... | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required I wouldn't dismiss a speaker cable change so quickly. If you want more airy, open and extended I would definitely suggest Mapleshade's offerings. They will also increase dynamics. You will notice the diference immediately.The other thing I recomme... | |
| Soliloquy 5.3 drivers They come up periodically on ebay. You could also buy a pair of 5.0's or Sat-5's pretty cheaply which use the same drivers. | |
| Upgrading wall outlets I've had very good results using Oyaide SWO-GX and Furutech gold plated. I did not have a good experience with some other aftermarket outlets and eventually took those out of the system.My experimentation was done mostly with my CDP. |
