| Best equip stands Labtec, you may be reading too much into the phrase 'mechanical break-in'.To the best of my knowledge, it's really just a settling in process that occurs.I suppose it's kinda' like a new automobile where the engine needs to be pampered for the fir... | |
| Best equip stands TWL makes a very good point regarding the cautionary break-in period. Something I don't believe is much of an issue with other racking systems that adhere to the isolation/dampening aka de-coupling methodology.However, in my experience with 'reson... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords Krisgel, since you enjoy searching for better equipment, you might consider the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 passive and dedicated in-line power conditioners.I've heard of one guy on the East Coast compare the older version of the LC-2 to his... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords I've not yet heard of any power cable that improves sonics more than the better line conditioners. I would highly recommend the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 passive and dedicated in-line power conditioners that come with their own built-in po... | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? My experience has been somewhat different. I should mention that I believe there are exactly 6 ingredients that make for outstanding sonics:1. A certain caliber of equipment including a full range pair of speakers. Certainly need not be expensive.... | |
| Best copper interconnect cables I agree with Tvad. I currently own a McMormack DNA-2 Rev A and would agree with his recommendation on the Au24 cables. Used, they they be right in your ballpark. -IMO | |
| 4 or 6 outlet conditoner for amps/sources The best line conditioning would be dedicated one box per component. Not only do you minimize sharing AC noise such as digital, you would also be able to take full advantage of dedicated circuits/lines.You might consider the Foundation Research LC... | |
| Power cord to add ease and tame treble. As Big_Kidz and The Psychic allured, you may very well be hearing what noisy untreated AC does to the sonics when the lines are not properly conditioned. But of course, everybody using electricity has dirty/noisy AC.If you do not have dedicated ci... | |
| CD red book,sacd or dvd-a playback choices I agree with your findings. I don't think most people are aware of just how much musical inforation can be extracted in in a well-recorded standard redbook cd. -IMO | |
| Sony SCD1 Problem As the others have said, the unit will not play without the stabilizer/puck. When installed on top of a cd, the surround about the spindle depresses about 1/8" and this would appear to be the switch to keep the unit from playing without it.I'd be ... | |
| Review: Foundation Research LC1 & LC2 Power cord BTW, thank you also Lak and Bigkidz for the compliments. | |
| Review: Foundation Research LC1 & LC2 Power cord Thanks, Roc. As good as the old versions are (they were still perhaps the best as Marty DeWulf of Bound for Sound declared), the newer versions are simply multiple times better. And that is no exaggeration. They look so much alike, it's too hard t... | |
| What does an extra $1000 spent on a p. cond. do? Sutts, my understanding is that one should never expect any improvements whatsoever when combining line-conditioners, especially when mixing mfg'erers.BTW, if you are using the older version, you should be able to upgrade your LC-1 for about $60 t... | |
| What does an extra $1000 spent on a p. cond. do? I also disagree with Loontoon. Proper line conditioning has more to do with the dirty AC current that is a universal problem to everyone on this planet.Of course the better your equipment (assuming the vendor has not attempted to 'condition' the A... | |
| What makes one good amp sound better than another? Amps have as many differences between competitors as do any other components. However, I believe there is one difference pertaining to amplifiers over other components: When you find the right amp, it alone is by far the greatest contributor to a ... |
