Granite under wood for better isolation?
Tzh21y, this all suggests how different things work in some systems and not in others. I can only stand Vibrapods under things that have nothing to do with music. I tried MapleShade maple board and their special feet also, but returned them immedi... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
I will share my experience concerning using a music server, a new Mac server, and various cd players and transports. I do think Soundlistenings conclusion are grossly premature.Two years ago I got an Exemplar music server that uses Windows XP home... 
Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable
Kentchai, that is a good plan. Your own experience is what counts. 
Granite under wood for better isolation?
Dan ed, I don't understand. I don't use granite anymore, but my granite in sandboxes where the granite had no contact with the side of the sandboxes, never rang.I doubt if there is much benefits in having the granite under the StillPoints. I am as... 
Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable
Richard, it is not charged, which is putting a potential on the shield to deal with RFI. 4est, I agree with Richard, but unfortunately experimentation is not at all easy. The Cable Store does afford some opportunity but carefully read what they ex... 
Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable
4est, yes, opinions on everything in audio diverge sharply. You just have to hope that someone you trust has already gone through the pain of comparing the cables and reached a conclusion.I think a charged cable makes a big contribution. I have an... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

Thus far the best digital cord I have heard is the Synergistic Research D3, 
Granite under wood for better isolation?
Sand is your answer. Maple deadens the music. Put the granite into a sand box. All ringing will be gone. 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
If I might throw another log on the fire, I got the Exemplar moded Oppo 83 in yesterday. It is, of course, a universal player with blu-ray capability. I had already compared it with the original non SE version, and it was quite superior, but this ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ozzy, I know what you are saying. It looks like a snake's nest behind my system. But I do suspect you are losing a good deal. I never heard a Quattro, but the Galileo MPCs are exceed the originals. I would not be surprised were there a new Quattro... 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
As a reviewer, I need to say several things. First, print and electronic magazines need advertising to survive. This was not the case in early subscription magazines like Stereophile and The Absolute Sound. There is an uncomfortable concern by bot... 
Covered my TV...What next?
You basically have a soft screen where you tv is. It will have no effect below about 125 Hz and probably robs your high frequencies. I would follow Rrog's suggestion about finding live and dead areas, but I would remove the blanket from the tv fir... 
Best Integrated, period.
Having heard the latest iteration of the LSA Statement amp, I would have to say it is the best integrated I have ever heard. 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
The Weiss 202 dac and the Weiss Minerva. Europeans are claiming that they hear little benefits in moving from the Minerva to the 202.
