| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth, get some and measure it. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Melbguy1, The component when using the Stillpoints sits on ceramic balls. Each of these balls sits on other balls that almost allow the top one to fall through. It tries to force the balls below outward, but they cannot move. That outward pressure... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? Ptss, please note that distortion's is possessive. So what you should have said is, Do distortions affect enjoyment of speakers, as distortions is plural. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Nvp, you are wrong that Stillpoints and Star Sound Tech. use the same technology. The Star Sound Apprentices seek to get vibration within the components to ground quickly. They don't favor the "absorption" which is what Stillpoints employs. With S... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, do you really take what Badman says as a challenge? It sounds like a dealer or a manufacture who is unhappy about the challenge of selling against all the acclaim of the HFCs. | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs Dbphd, hmmm, I didn't think I was sarcastic, but I do think you are ignorant. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Nvp, When you have a sharp spike, you have many foot pounds per square inch from the weight of the component focused on that point. Mass means great inertia resisting motion. The expectation is that the component will be coupled to the shelf and t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Badman, "Ric Schultz is a fraud," or so say you. You also say the basic dodge of those knowing nothing, namely "basic engineering kids." The only real question is why did you post this diatribe. | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs Joecasey, I would agree that a music server is convenient especially relative to vinyl and even a player. But I find players the lowest quality and music servers and vinyl very close together. I don't know what his motivations are for saying this,... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Pkoegz, SRA rack, wow! Do you find any benefit of using StillPoints on the SRA? If so, I would suggest the Ultra Minis which are exception and cheap. You need to be careful with them, however, as you can shatter the ceramic balls, I'm told.I am re... | |
| Question of priorities in audio cables As in everything else in audio equipment, I think there are few generalities that we can reach. I think RFI and EMI are increasing severe problems for all cables, so the quality of the shielding maybe most important. Certainly, I have found that c... | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs Speavler, I now have most of my 400 sacds on my harddrive in DSD and play them in native double DSD. My HD tracks are also played in double DSD as are my 700 cds. I'm using JRiver MC19 and controlling my music server Mac Mini 2011 with a Macbook P... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Agear, I guess I've heard about your room from Star Sound. Apparently there will be others soon and I think I will get to hear them. Thus far I have never liked room treatments, although at first I can hear their impact. At some point, I hear thei... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Melbguy1, I got my information directly from Paul Wakeen owner of Stillpoints but it was before there were the Ultra bases. I was doing a review of them, I did a comparison one time of Ultra SSs as they do allow some height adjustment. They defini... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Melbguy1, with the Ultra bases you will not be using the Ultra 5s in the recommended way. I have no idea what threaded options there are under the Magico S5s but if you could use them to mount the Ultra 5s so that there is some minimal distance be... |
