Tidal Speakers owners
Pa10in, I still remember that shocking moment at the 2009 RMAF when I heard the Tidal Contriva Discera SE with but three days of breakin and run with the Ypsilon amps and preamps. It was the first time that I heard realism from a speaker! As you s... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
The benefit of the SR Teslas is being charged. In my opinion, no top cable that is not charged can beat a charged cable in this world of RFI. 
Azimuth and the Fozgometer

Azimuth and the Fozgometer
Nolitan, I was about to buy one when I found the Soundsmith Cartright at the RMAF. I am going to wait for it as it does VTA, azimuth, overhang, and SRA.

Cable Elevators killed my bass
Gbart, no doubt were the surface area miniscule, such as the edge of a dime, the dampening results would be less. But it is static electricity that most concerns me. I would not pretend to understand what the interplay is between static electricit... 
Cable Elevators killed my bass
Tholt, they suggested that I stick with my one viable solution, the Rightway Audio Suspenders. This has gotten me by. 
Cable Elevators killed my bass
Tholt, I also have hardwood floors. 
Cable Elevators killed my bass
Tholt, there is very little that I haven't tried from cardboard, wooden sticks, glass blocks, strings from the rack, 18 Kv isolators with the cables hanging down in between, acrylic pieces, etc. Most have a limited effect, some a substantial bad e...
