| Klipschorn Imaging These are the most dynamic speakers I have ever owned, but they are corner horns. I had a room that was too long from corner to corner and never got a reasonable sound stage. I even tried a center speaker, but that proved difficult and expensive.I... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Ebm, I have had many of the Stealth cables and powercords. With the exception of the PGS ics, I loved them. I had silver connections on the power cords which sounded great but did not hold well.These were all displaced when I got an all charged sy... | |
| Magtech Amplifier Guidocorona, possibly. The irony is that Roger Sanders insists that there is no breakin on solid state amps. He thinks I'm crazy. | |
| Words From the Wise Hifisoundguy, yes, for years I rejoiced in the fact that my cheap house builder chose to use Eagle outlets, as they sounded much better than the Levitons, especially their hospital grade ones.Relative to my early systems, all manner of new concern... | |
| Words From the Wise Don't believe anyone who says you cannot get ever closer to realism in reproducing musical performances.Don't forget to have fun and to enjoy the music.Don't believe anyone who says all amps, all power cords, etc. sound the same. There are always ... | |
| Magtech Amplifier Primare_cd31, I am using the Magtech right now on my LSA1 Statements. I did review it for Dagogo. As you say it is very powerful, well made, fairly light weight, and certainly inexpensive. I am at odds with Roger Sanders about his excellent amp. I... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? Mceljo, John Marks say about the album you used in your evaluation, "Perhaps I first should have consulted my horoscope in the local newspaper. But I can't imagine what it could have said that might have warned me off. So, in blissful ignorance, I... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? Jfz, opps! I did not know they had a third model. | |
| What isolation feet to use?? Rhljazz, there are soon to be new Stillpoints that are now available as OEM feet. They are much better. The Component Stands are also far superior to the original StillPoint feet. | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? Without question given its chip set, I would recommend the Oppo BDP-80, not the SE. I have a modified unit done by John Tucker of Exemplar and have never heard such outstanding reproduction of sacds. It also does HDCDs and they also are the best I... | |
| What isolation feet to use?? As I understand isolation, one is dealing with resonance frequencies. Above that frequency vibrations are turned into heat, but below that they amplify the vibration. Solid isolators typically rely on psi by having a narrow point to the earth ulti... | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along I have always wonder about setting anti-skate. Typically, I ignored instructions and merely put a blank record on a dropped the needle and adjusted accordingly. But for some time I had the Shindo turntable with it updated Ortofon tonearm which nev... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Marc Mickelson of The Audio Beat has done a review of the Tidal Contriva Diacera SEs that is right on the money relative to what I hear. It does discuss the use of the port plugs and the jumper plugs that motivate me to more experimentation with t... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic Trelja, you say, "We are the "others" you talk about." Obviously, not. You speak only for yourself.You say, "Ray Charles would have no trouble reading into "the importer's unwillingness to put a pair out for review" when it comes to you writing th... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Calloway, great! You make me miss mine, which I will not get to hear until the end of Sept. What we do for love!Oh! They will get better.I assume that Doug chose to point them straight out? I have mine toed in to intersect just behind me.Some pack... |
