What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009?
For me the Tidal Contrivas in room 2004 walked away with the "best sound" award, but only by Sunday. Like always the last day is the best. Too often manufacturers bring green electronics and speakers.Second but quite a step down both in realism an... 
Amarra for iTunes at RMAF...
I am probably moving to a Mac system using Amarra. I am not happy with having a switching power supply in a computer near a signal source, but such a system has sounded good in several suites at RMAF and CES, and it is certainly convenient and mor... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Well, I got my Exemplar Music Server up and running tonight. My Mac remote desktop had a hard drive failure. This meant that I had to move one of my two SR Hologram Ds to it. I tried the T2, but it did cut it. Curiously the T2 sounds best on my H-... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ozzy, I wonder why Ted has never said anything about the Quattro and why it has no prominence on their webpage. It certainly is a tangle of wires behind my system.Bacardi, I tried several of the power cords between the PowerCell and my QLS 9, incl... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I did not even know of the Quattro until today. I have heard the Enigma and of the prospects for an Enigma II. 
Who has dumped the power conditioner?
Plelko, I think most conditioners lose the pace of the music. I always liked the Sound Application and now the Synergistic PowerCell as they do not. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi, I think you would prefer what you now have, but I am not certain.Ozzy, what is the Quattro?Ptm, yes it makes a difference. I have all of my MPCs plugged into a QLS-9 which is plugged into the PowerCell. This sounds much better than when t... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi and Shellie, the Tesla Precision References are very fast and in my experience best used between the linestage and the amp. I thought the Accelerators were better elsewhere and, of course, the Apex.Dave_b, sorry but I don't believe you and... 
Who has dumped the power conditioner?
Plelko, perhaps this is true. I am one for 48 in such devices, however. 
Who has dumped the power conditioner?
Adwiegert, wow, I forgot to update my system. Thanks, yes, I still have the SRs and the PowerCell.

Welcome aboard! 
WAV vs. AIFF
Acurus, I have a Exemplar Music Server and at this moment cannot get my remote desk top HP to connect with it. John Tucker is trying to figure out why as my HP worked fine with his personal Music Server. Once I get over this problem, I will try to... 
WAV vs. AIFF
Acurus, since I have found WAVs done without a disc mat take nearly twice as long to rip as those with a mat and sound nowhere near as good, I am not inclined to believe your assertion. When I demonstrated this at the RMAF all I heard was an audie... 
WAV vs. AIFF
Clio09, although I have much experience with Window ripping, I have always been a Mac user. But my Exemplar Music Server uses Windows. As weird as ripping to a hard-drive is, I can only suggest that you try it both ways. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi, this is what their webpage says, "We have always been aware of just how important phase coherency is in signal transfer. Now through our research we have discovered that lower frequencies are extremely sensitive to very small changes in p...
