| Tidal Speakers owners A trusted friend with Contrivas told me his experiences when he went to the StillPoints Component Stands. I did the comparison between the Ultimate feet and the Component Stand. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners I have removed the StillPoints Component stands from my Contrivas and replace them with four new StillPoints Ultimate feet in stainless steel. There was a major improvement in the soundstage and bass. I have never installed the stands that came wi... | |
| The best tweeter design I used to agree with Amfibius about plasma tweeters. I have since bought Tidal speakers with a 1" diamond tweeter. I clearly is better and also expensive, however. I know it doesn't seem to make any sense that a tweeter with mass would sound bette... | |
| speakers for a smaller listening room Zak42, I face the same issue of a small room. My room is 10 x 13 x 8. I was fortunate to have a pair of LSA1 Statements that I bought before having this small room. I bought them as I simply found them amazing at a RMAF. Even they can overload my ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Ozzy, I believe it, in fact I have experienced it. Because of the weight of the SR cables and the slipperiness of the MIGs on the acrylic shelves of the StillPoint rack, I have to carefully place the MIGs under my preamp. I have thus moved the MIG... | |
| Can I ground my preamp? Rrog, disconnect the interconnects from your amp and turn it on. If there is still hum, you have a problem in the amp. This is unlikely. If not put the ic between the preamp into the amp, but with nothing plugged into the preamp. If you have hum, ... | |
| Can I ground my preamp? I have a Granite Audio grounding system. You can hear some reduction of noise with some settings, but it does not resolve a ground loop problem.I have yet to find a system that was not improved making the preamp the only grounded unit. Some are ve... | |
| LSA 1 Monitors in a small room?? Jwglista, in contrast with Larry, I think the LSA2 will overload a small room. The reason I recommend the Statement models is that John Tucker puts a folded ribbon tweeter and an upgraded crossover. | |
| EXPLAIN HD SACDs to me. Vernneal, I suspect that the earlier posters are correct that you are really asking about HDCDs. Only the Crystal chip set, I believe, plays HDCDs, which have been somewhat lost with Micro Soft buy this format. The original Oppo uses this chip set... | |
| LSA 1 Monitors in a small room?? Jwglista, I have a very small room and given prior experience with the LSAIIs, I would strongly recommend the LSA1s. You can put them on the LSA stands. I would also strongly recommend that you move up to the LSA1 Statements with substantial modif... | |
| Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident Bvdiman, I heard that Tidal was coming out with a sub for the Contrivas. I bought the Zu at a good price. As you know, I was not having any real problems with bass and the Contrivas. Heaven knows the Sanders Audio amp's 900 watts per side is enoug... | |
| Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident I have owned a Zu Method subwoofer since June, but I just got around to installing it, in part because of my being gone for three months. I must say that as Murat might suggest, it does improve the sound. The Method does have an invert phase butto... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Flashunlock, my H-Cat amp has its transformer on one side and I do put one MIG under it there. I have found that on many components, I have to place MIGs to assure the balance of the component on them. I have light components and heavy SR pcs. Thi... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Maxwellssilverhammer, I must admit that at CES when I saw that they were going to be demonstrated on a StillPoints rack, I doubted that they would be very impressive, but I also knew that Denny would not do so were they not. Like everyone in the d... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Ical, this is more serious than the problem I had. Peterayer, you took me aback with the question of timing for the Walker enzyme treatment. I allow 30 seconds for this stage at the recommendation of Lloyd Walker. I can see that allowing 10 minute... |
