Synergistic Research QLS-Which power cord to use??
Ozzy, the QLS uses the power cord that it comes with, which was presumably Quantum Tunneled. The PowerCell 10 SE comes with the Precision pc. 
Glass Shelf under CD Player or not?
I am apparently the odd man out on maple or any wood. I find it robs music of all pace. It may sound good but it is not conducive of realism in music reproduction.I have many Mana stands which us glass on the top shelf. These stands which are now ... 
Synergistic Research QLS-Which power cord to use??
I have found the Precision a strange pc. I tried the Precision AC on my H-Cat amp versus the Hologram A. There was no question that the Hologram A was best. Later I compared the Precision versus a T2 on my H-Cat line stage. The Precision was far s... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Joeyboynj, I tried a SR Precision on my amp versus the Hologram A, it lost. But wow did it work great on the line stage. I just love the way everything is trial and error. You need to get a Hologram D for your digital. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ozzy, I have both and just checked. They look to be the same except for the connector. The 32a connector is very nice.Rydenfan, I also used the plastic wall plate. Maybe at some point I will try some thing else. 
ELP Laser Turntable & Trickle Down
I must say Acresverde, that I have never heard any rolled off treble with the ELP. I must say, however, that I know the circumstances surrounding the concerns of SMART. I suspect that the waters are now so tainted that no one will be the US distri... 
Steam Cleaning - RCM or not?
Crem1, sorry I seem to have ignored your efforts. I will catch up. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi, unplug the wallwart from the PowerCell if you want to quickly heard what the field inside is doing. The blue LED will go out. I never thought of this until talking with SR today. 
Steam Cleaning - RCM or not?
Crem1, very interest even if a bit paranoid. I know most of the RCM manufacturers, they feel no sense of being in control.Can you please elaborate on how you use a handheld steamer to clean a record? Do you just blow off foreign material onto the ... 
Steam Cleaning - RCM or not?
Why are there no commercial steam record cleaning machines? 
ELP Laser Turntable & Trickle Down
Vinyladdict, I think this is an entirely different issue. Of course, you can get a great tt, arm, and cartridge for $10K but the ELP is not outrageously expensive. I do have a Shindo Labs vinyl system that costs a good deal more and have had the c... 
ELP Laser Turntable & Trickle Down
Vinyladdict, The ELP is not digital. It is analog. The issue is not record where, although you can read lower in the groove to avoid damage previously caused by styli. The issue is the laser having no mass and tracing the groove accurately. Also, ... 
ELP Laser Turntable & Trickle Down
Vanmeter, I assume you are talking about the demo at CES. It was classical. 
Steam Cleaning - RCM or not?
Stltrains, I grew up in Kirkwood long ago. At that time the Railroad Museum was merely an abandoned mass of trains behind barbed wire fencing. We use to go there often and climb into the engines. It was great fun. I have some bad news about the tu... 
What would you buy Sub $350 Firewire/USB DAC
Music_prof, what Tobias says omits a very simple face, at least IMHO, isolation transformers, indeed almost all ac filtering or conditioning devices, do more harm than they than good. There is one clear exception to this, again IMHO, the Synergist...
