| Stealth cables I think the counterfeit Stealth Cables comment merely meant that he felt he could not sell them. | |
| Does transport matter if using external DAC? I would agree with your ordering but would add that often a different pc works on digital than on analog. | |
| Vote best of these 7 CDP's I can think of 40 cd players that are far superior to the Sony SCD-1 on redbook. If you want to modify it for sacd, it is a good bet; otherwise forget it. | |
| Does transport matter if using external DAC? Ones and zeros. Once again a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. As with digital cables, transports matter greatly. | |
| Cable elevators To use a single Rite-Way Suspender under my Omega Mikro speaker cables, I had it on a large piece of stryrofoam. Once the right side fell off the Suspender and was just on the stryrofoam block. While I was listening I noticed that my highs were go... | |
| Flexible power cable The Omega Mikros are NOT multistrand. They are ribbons. Certainly cheap cables are all multistrand, but I am not certain all multistrands sound poor. I have not heard any good ones, however. | |
| To couple or decouple? That is the question. Unless it is generating the movement and assuming it is tightly coupled to the stand. I do like the Neuance shelves on my Mana stands, however, as they have continuously variable resonance frequencies and are on the Mana spikes. | |
| To couple or decouple? That is the question. I grow tired of this techno-babble. True coupling would be to run a long I beam below your equipment into bedrock. This would add the mass of that bedrock to your system mass. There is no real isolation as everything you use has a resonant frequen... | |
| Stealth cables For a long time I used the Stealth PGS-3D in a long run to my amps. Even when I had Siltech G5 elsewhere, the Stealths in this vital link showed the great improvements with the other cables. I nevertheless think the PGS does sound like it metal, n... | |
| Tube DACs I have had Audio Note, Zanden, and several tube players. All have been exceptional, but if money is an issue I would strongly recommend the Exemplar/Denon 2900 universal player which has a tube analog stage. I heard it compared with the Modwright ... | |
| Flexible power cable One of the very best power cords, the Omega Mikro, is also the most flexible. Care must be taken in what it touches, however, and it is expensive. | |
| ESL enclosures In the 70s there was a SuperQuad, which was ESLs just sitting inside an enclosure with Kef 139s woofers on one side of the enclosure. I do not think, however, that this is what you are talking about. Enclosing Quads into a sealed compartment would... | |
| Decca London Cartridge? Thank you for reawakening my interest in the Londons. Although I have a J. Aleraet Finish, I will probably retry the Londons. | |
| Decca London Cartridge? I have a Garrard 501 coming with the Schroeder arm. I might once again have to try the London. I well remember its magic. I guess I sold them because of tracking problems. | |
| Decca London Cartridge? I fondly remember my many London Decca and even spending hours in a Chicago dealers backroom picking out which I wanted. Never have I had such transparent sound. I do not even know how I ended up with none, but I did. This may result in my trying ... |
