| The best speaker you ever heard? Noncondition, don't listen to the Tidals. | |
| most articulate speaker Lrsky, having owned seven different electrostatics, I tend to agree. I would not two things, however. First, plasma tweeters or even the ill-fated Pass full-range plasma speaker, would be faster. The plasma tweeter is used in many of the Acapella ... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed One direction of ac goes through the transformer windings as they are drawn. Also one direction of ac is at the live end of the switch. All that I can say is that whatever the explanation, the directions of fuses sound different. | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed For a long time Hi-Fi Tuning claimed there was no direction, but I always found there was, but it was predictable judging this from the printing on their fuses. With IsoCleans I have always found the arrow going with the hot side input is the best... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Adwiegert, initially I did not hear any improvement in using a T2 rather than the short little, tunneled cord that comes with QLSs, but more recently I tried again and it is much better. I will not go any more expensive on such a cord. | |
| Modded SACD player: SACD or Redbook sound best?" Until recently, I had become convinced that redbook on the best units was more dynamic than sacd but that sacds had a better soundstage. But the Exemplar moded Oppo has changed that. Sacd is clearly better IMHO. But I would also argue that redbook... | |
| most articulate speaker Remember that electronics play a big role in this. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Scottmac62, you will immediately know it is better. After a day or so, you will be shocked. After about two weeks, you will just shake your head about now a simple charger of the cable could make such a difference. Then you will wonder whether fur... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Geopolitis, I hope you are wrong. I have Contrivas coming in Jan. | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Dlcockrum, I agree. I have had some 40 ac power conditioners and have always said the ultimate test is whether after breakin, the music is better once you have removed it. Most fail this test. The SR PowerCell SE certainly did, but more importantl... | |
| hardwood floor and speaker I used to use spikes. I think cups under them have little impact. I think now, however, that StillPoints component stands greatly outperform them, but they are expensive. You might get by with just 3 individual StillPoints per speaker, but I have ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Joeyboynj, I agree that buying a single lead Galileo MPC makes little sense, but in my single experiment I found mixing ics and pcs on a twin lead MPC greatly harmed the sound. I would, of course, agree that experimenting is needed. I should say, ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I needed adapters also. I doubt that it makes any difference, but how would one know? | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? I just put a Weiss Minerva dac into my system yesterday. With no breakin and used only with the Oppo universal player as a transport, I is shockingly good. The sound stage is just so real. Ultimately, I will be using a Mac Powerbook Pro running Am... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Adwiegert, I find this is true of SR cables as well. Forget them for several hours after you moved them. |
