| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr I now have some further experience with the SR Basik ARTs. I have a small room in my summer home and sought Ted Denney's advice on whether I could do something to make a 10 x 13 x 8 room. He advised two sets of the $500 Basik ARTs and how to use t... | |
| How can I improve my electric power situation. I had adequate outlets close to where my system was, but this circuit served my room and an adjacent room where my wife used sewing machines. I had two dedicated outlets added or rather I took two outlet off this circuit and used as the outlets fo... | |
| How close to the real thing? Paulsax, if I don't leave my ss gear on 24/7 it takes at least an hour to sound its best. With the high cost of tubes and electricity, few leave their tube gear on. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I have three digital sources that are quite acceptable to me, although I still prefer vinyl. My Mac Powerbook Pro with SSD and playing Pure Music 1.65a in Memory mode with Entreq FW through my Weiss Dac202, the same source using Entreq USB through... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Keithr, you can assess each with no time on them or put all into a strip and break them all in before deciding which you want. Do you have the new Teslaplex mk II? | |
| How close to the real thing? Hotmailjbc, your photo versus reality is right on. I was just on the Serengeti plains with thousands of animals all around. I took many high quality photos but none could capture what I saw. Today I tried a new H-Cat dac and got clarity and imagin... | |
| How close to the real thing? Irvrobinson, I had a jazz band in my kitchen but the only musician playing music has been a guitarist. He liked the room and said he liked classical guitar played on my system. I asked him if it sounded real. He hesitated but said no. I fully agre... | |
| How close to the real thing? Bjesien, I fully agree that playback satisfaction varies greatly. I suspect that for performing musicians listening to recorded music is not relaxing and staying at their best entails much practice. My friend used to read a great deal within a sil... | |
| How close to the real thing? I think that too many assume that if we hear live music that is the goal of this hobby but there are big variations in live music. With only limited experience, I think most would agree that some venues sound better than others.I still remember wh... | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? Listener614, I still remember my first hearing of horn in the early '70s. A used pair of Klipschorns were sitting in the back room of a Tallahassee dealers hooked to a Dyna Stereo 70. The first piece was a snare drum which was so fast and loud tha... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mike_barnett, it is the high point of Richard's speaker development certainly. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Thankfully, I did not get off. In the last year, conservatively I would say that the realism of my music reproduction has improved by 50 percent. I would credit the breakin of my Weiss Dac202, the new technology in the StillPoints Ultras, John Tuc... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Alectiong, initially it was the prototype tube amps. But was the Aelius monoblocks. I suspect that the Aeliuses are better.Charles1dad, I agree, but one does like to hear other's sincere opinions, since none of us will have the luxury of hearing a... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Alectiong, the last RMAF was the first time I have heard the Tidal electronics on their speakers, the Piano Disceras. On the last day of RMAF, I was pretty impressed with the sound, but it was still far short of what I had heard a year earlier usi... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Mike, I hope to listen to the Sovereign soon, but I do have the X9 version of the H-Cat amp. Its strength has always been a holographic soundstage and the new version is shocking. It only has three weeks breakin on it, so it is likely to get bette... |
