Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Joeybooynj, my impressions are based on my Acapella LaCompanellas and today I got my Tidal Contriva Discera SEs and they will get installed tomorrow. I really want to see what I get with Universal Cells on the Tidals, but I can tell you that I wil... 
Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr
Well, I hate to introduce any observations into the already decided thread, especially given Audiofeil is always on the mark but without evidence or experience based conclusion.At the RMAF of 2008, I stumbled into the Synergistic Research suite, n... 
Blue ray player with good audio
I would agree that a modified BDP-83 is the way to go. I have an Exemplar/Oppo and am just amazed at sacds. I think it is the Crystal chip set that is responsible also. This is not used in the SE and that is one reason I avoided it.I also have a M...

SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering.
Macdadtexas, while I am disappointed on how sacds have evolved, classical recordings continue to flourish. I also have an Oppo 83, but heavily modified by Exemplar. I must say that many, in fact most, sacds are outstanding on this unit. Last eveni... 
Reference 3A
I am always impressed with the sound that they get out of the Grand Veenas at the shows. Why not get recommendations from Reference 3A? 
Power Conditioner Assistance
I large agree with Richard stacy and usually recommend living with the power conditioner you really like for several weeks and then removing it. Most of the time removing it improves the sound.There are three in my experience where this has not be... 
High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more
Mmike84, having long ago auditioned the AudioNote SEs and having heard them sound wonderful in Peter Qvortrup's home earlier, especially in conveying the emotions of the music, I must say there is a major issue of setting them up properly. At show... 
High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more
Mapman, I would like to hear that also.I have never heard the field coil Shindo Labs LaTour speakers but have heard the field coil Feastrex drivers. Forget using them full range, but wow from 60 Hz to 20k Hz. 
High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
Tpreaves, if you are serious, I agree. No one likes to work on a board that has been painted, however.

Gawdbless, I guess they are indeed high efficiency. I have heard them briefly. I guess I would never venture there, just too big and expensive. 
High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
I have been using IsoClean fuses for about four years and have consistently thought them the best. I have tried HiFi Tuning fuses also, starting when they said they had no direction, which I found untrue. More recently I have had many fuses "quant... 
diffuser panels made more simple?
I have several RPG like units made from The Master Handbook of Acoustics that I will give to anyone coming by to get them. 
High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more
Tvad, the Audionote speakers IMHO do not represent high efficiency speakers, although I do like them once Peter has set them up. Mmike84, My favorite high efficiency speakers are: the Beauhorn Virtuousos and the Exemplar tractrix horns. I also tho... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Shadorne, as I have said before, I have no interest in stopping making improvements and I have been doing this for 45 years. I am or was a musician and merely seek what I use to hear repeated at my leisure. I just get a thrill at realism.I must sa...
