| Have you gotten great sound in a small er room? Gbmcleod, I have one recommendation-Zilplex resonators. I have a tiny room (10' by 13' with 8' ceilings. With the Zilplex, I have no width or ceiling restrictions. They saved my listening while in New Mexico. | |
| Recommendation for audio rack? Doublenickelsonthedime, I think the StillPoints Rack is clearly the best, especially now that it has their Grids. There is no rubber or soft materials involved. Instead they use ceramic balls to convert all vertical motion into horizontal motion a... | |
| Stillpoint Ultra Minis Divinetrader, as I tried SP Ultra SSs under my speakers before the Ultra Fives were available, I found they were great. I bought more and up them under my amps and my turntable. Then I heard their Ultra Fives. Under speakers the Fives just blew aw... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Mapman and Charles1dad, all I can say is that I have many double record 45 rpm reissued great jazz recordings where I have nice remastered cd versions. There is just no comparison in the attack, involvement in the recording, or just realism. If yo... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Stickman451, I think DSD far surpasses HD PCM. I had many of my sacds playable off my music server and thought the DSD far superior to just playing the sacds. All was great, until my 09 Mac Mini stopped working and my new 13 Mac Mini was screwed u... | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight Geoffkait, you can see the Hitachi FineMet webpage easily, but buying them is hit or miss now. I think they are basically made for the military. But you can find them on Ebay occasionally. There is the promise soon of access to some of the many si... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Gbmcleod, I think my problem originates from the power of the Ultra Fives. I have used them on top of many components with great but expensive benefit, but in some instances they do harm. It also seems to depend on what is under the component. Ult... | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight Franks, I am presently assessing the benefits of Hitachi FineMet beads on pigtails that you can use on your power cords. FineMet is much like ferrite beads but much more effective perhaps because of its bandwidth. For whatever reason, these give a... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Gbmcleod, I guess there must be an interesting story behind your using your wife's name in posting. I agree totally about keeping the cables off the floor. This is one area where reviewing gets to be a pain. I often end up with a snake's nest of p... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Tubegroover, I didn't say the Ultra ALs were superior or the equal of the Ultra SSs. It was the existing special feet on the HB Designs Acrylic PowerSlave that were better than the Ultra Fives.I use the OEM aluminum feet under my LSA1s in New Mexi... | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight Mattheus, I guess I don't know how to send a private message. I never used the spikes that came with the Bergman. I used a StillPoint Component Stand and first used SP Ultra SSs and later Ultra Five on the Component stand under the Bergman. I also... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Gbmcleod, I find the use of SP Ultras, including the Minis varies greatly depending on the ac filter used. SP Ultra Minis could not be used under my HB Designs Acrylic PowerSlave as it isolation feet are too long and difficult to remove. I put two... | |
| Magtech Amplifier Cerrot, what are you driving with that power? | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? All solder is bad, especially that which you can buy today. Welding would be great were it easy to do. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tsushima1, I have the capability with my Exemplar XP-2 line stage and BMC M2 amps of both balanced and single-end ics. I had truly excellent Exemplar Silver Portal balanced and charged cables everywhere and once had the same Silver Portals single ... |
