| Fuses that matter. Hasse, this comparison of fuses is muddled by the WA-Quantum fuse Chips. Either the HiFi Tuning Supreme or the Syn. Res. Quantum fuses are superior to the other when one has the WA-Quantum Chip on it. Overall, I prefer the SR with the WA-Quantum C... | |
| Favorite CD treatments? My Empirical Audio music player with an outboard optical drive and sophisticated programing has made treatment inaudible on playback from my hard drive. | |
| Advice on stand mount speakers Petrakis_a, I had largely the same experience with the DC10 Audio monitors but the Evolution Audio MMMicros ones were great also. | |
| Advice on stand mount speakers I have a smaller room in NM-10 x 13 x 8. I have found the LSA1 Statements to be outstanding. Now I have treated that room with Zilplex and now the room sounds like wherever the recording was made. The speakers are about $2700, stands about $400, a... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Prdprez, I think you are right about the discussion getting circular and off the topic. I find that speaker stands sound quite different and that I like some. If you insist that they are done by "right" engineers and I think that our knowledge is ... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF Me too and with the cartridge level. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Prdprez, I'm sorry but stands do sound different. On one hand you say that "...stands are not one of them (stereo performance)." Then you say many have "simple flaws." I agree that some don't use proper materials or to dampen the ringing or to iso... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Prdprez, what if you listened to two isolation cones, one of steel and one of brass and the brass ones sounded better? You are right that steel stores much of the energy of its resonance but wrong in saying that a steel stand is like a "rock" when... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Prdprez, everything has a resonant frequency, so all stands sound different. Filling a stand with lead shot greatly lowers the resonant frequency. Isolation and coupling are the same thing, just different frequencies. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Peterayer, well I spent a good deal of time listening to the MMMicros driven by the new BMC integrated amp. They played a tape of Hugh Masekela's Stimela, and I was just in awe! I have never heard this so perfectly captured. No doubt much was attr... | |
| Fuses that matter. Grindstaff, it is a long story but they will be arriving this week. Your question is a good one. I would expect no fuses in the crossovers, but I will check. Since I heard a pair of Arcadia speakers September that had been playing for about a mont... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Glory, As I was left with only LSA1 Statements but already had 8 SP Ultra Fives from use on my Tidals, I decided to put three under each of the inexpensive LSA stands. I was just amazed by the improvement. I never experimented with the big Ultra F... | |
| Sao Win SDT-10 Strain Guage Cartridge. I used to be a close personal friend of Sao. Perhaps 15 years ago my telephone numbers failed to reach him and once I failed to find him in the telephone book. I would suspect that if Soundsmith has no circuit diagram, either they didn't need one ... | |
| Sound Application line conditioner experience? Tjassoc, the sequence is always the same. Big amps on last and off first. | |
| Fuses that matter. Theaudiotweak, what does "mechanically grounding" your entire system mean? Is it removing vibration? If so, I entirely agree. With the StillPoints stuff, especially the Ultra Fives, I really have the magic of realism. |
