| How do you clean tube pins? Markphd, I have found that rotating RCAs slightly each night and doing clockwise on even days and counter clockwise on odd days does wonders. I often forget, however. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Nor I you, but at least now you don't think I am blithely ignoring room interactions. I think also that you grossly underestimate the Halcyonics for whatever reason. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tvad, you are correct in seeing no diffusers (professional or otherwise), tube traps, defectors, Room Lens, Helmhost resonators, or absorbing foam for a LEDE room. They have all come and gone as did digital equalization. One pair of the Hallograph... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Nowhere near the magnitude of the Halcyonic even using the best treatments I have found, the Acoustic Revive QR-8s. But I agree that room treatments, if not overdone, which is all too common, can improve your imaging. I also don't know about doing... | |
| How do you clean tube pins? Mrjstark, I don't think you want to go so far as to say there is no benefit from cleaning gold pinned tubes. Most plating is ultra thin and I have seen dirty quetips using cleaner on gold pins. Also pipe cleaners, I have found, work better than co... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Jazdoc, I fully expect you would hear a great improvement. I had my Shindo Labs on an Acapella Silencio base with the special feet I bought for the Shindo. The base was on a Mana Reference rack. It was already well isolated, I thought. I am on a s... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Wonnjun, I inadvertently got my turntable vibrating back and forth yesterday and the Halcyonics sought to dampen the movement. I have notices that women's voices, at least in my system, excite its correction more than men's, which makes your new i... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Lewm, I have an experimental psychologist friend who did buy one of their larger units for his lab. You can google halcyoniics.de if Audiogon doesn't allow my thread. http://www.halcyonics.de/en/index.phpI think its not having a resonant frequency... | |
| How do you clean tube pins? Donaudio, pipe cleaners especially with Audio Top cleaner. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Rhyno, how dearly I wish any of the air spring devices I have tried approached the active Halcyonic device. I do totally agree that too many totally ignore micro-vibrations and crap on their ac line. With the Halcyonics under my Shindo Labs, I dou... | |
| toddler/kid proof speaker stands You could always anchor them to the ceiling. I scared the hell out of my son when he first touched mine. He never did it again. | |
| How do you clean tube pins? Take a normal pencil. Drill a small hole in the end centered. Fit tube pin into drilled hole and rotate. If you need to get SST off use an emory board. | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Dumb posting. | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Missioncoonery, I might ask why buy a preamp that sounds like either a tube or ss preamp. Until 5 years ago, I hated all ss preamps as well as passive preamps, with but one exception. Then I got my first H-Cat linestage. Now I have neither. | |
| Whats the best record cleaning fluid? I don't understand this problem and why I don't have it. I no longer use L'Art du Son, but I have had a nearly full one gallon distilled water and L'Art du Son bottle sitting next to my Loricraft for over a year and have no mold. My Texas home doe... |
