Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Audiolabyrinth, frankly there are so many cables on the market that I rely on scuttlebutt to learn of what is new and interesting. Furthermore, with tastes being so different, I doubt if anyone really takes others' opinions to heart. I don't, with... 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Bhoage, I thought at first that the new Triton $6k or Tritian $3k might be your answer, but all that I can say is that I heard the Kraken versus the previous Magnus and it made that cable sound broken immediately. 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
Fleschler, I have seen many vibration devices come and go and have boxes of them. I had thought it was all merely a matter of what resonance point pleases you, but Star Sound Technology's Audiopoints proved this to be more complicated than I thoug... 
New level of ridiculousness
Mapman, it does have a major impact on tv, but I don't know whether your supposition about vision being more sensitive than hearing is true.Noromance, once I hardwired my entire system for ac. It was much better but scary as I had no fuses, etc. I... 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Mribob, yes there are two lesser versions of the Kracken for $3k and $6k. I heard no demonstrations, however. Both do not use the big diameter portion of the Kracken but rather the thinner end portion. 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Yes, and on the Ultra SSs, where you need to unlock the hardhat, if you have them mounted on threads, you need to remember that when screw them up, you will also be screwing the hard hat down and tightening it. This is no issue for the Ultra Fives... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Ozzy, that is the StillPoints recommendation given to me verbally. I don't think I have ever seen it in print.On my old Tidals I found it sounded better that way. Star Sound Tech., however, says no flush against the speaker is best. Perhaps which ... 
New level of ridiculousness
There is no question that the Acrylic and Marble PowerSlaves greatly improve the sound. This would suggest that the outlets and the wiring in other powerstrips are inadequate. It would also suggest that RFI and EMI might not be as much of a factor... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Siddh, Rick argues that his cables remove the noise that in getting through with other wires and being amplified thus sounding louder. I do know that on a sound pressure reading, I am listening to Rick's cables louder than I listen with other cabl... 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Boeing, no, but I do have a prototype of the High Fidelity Waveguide Power Center and expect soon to get the upgraded version. It is quite different sounding than the PowerSlave. 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Boeing, I've heard the Marble and own the Acrylic but never heard them side by side, but a friend has and says, like Jack Roberts in Dagogo that the Marble is better. It had better be better as it costs considerably more. I will probably never hav... 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Boeing, have you compared the HB Designs Dragon with any of the Stage III pcs. I had the Dragon on my HB Acrylic PowerSlave and found it was as much of an improvement as the PowerSlave gave. At the time I didn't know whether I was going to keep th... 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
eithmundy, I am using an Exemplar Audio Portal high current power cord. 
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Keithmundy, I don't understand it either, but it does. I have two Syn. Res. QLS Tesla coil zapped power strips, which were better than anything else, but not the PowerSlave. The Dragon pc does substantially enhance the sound also. I would love to ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I suspect that Double DSD will be very close to vinyl. And then there is Quad DSD which is what SONY is usings to archive their tape holdings before the tapes are all lost. Soon, Quad DSD files will be available. There will be nothing closer to ac...
