| What component should be on a walnut board? The pre-amp because everything goes thru that..and then which ever source you use the most. Have you first compared the sound of one single walnut board replacing one single pressed wood board? Change only one thing at a time. A shotgun maybe a bl... | |
| MDF Rack dampening question Adding mass is not all bad. Choosing the right material for that added mass is different than what we all were LEAD to believe. Mixing and matching materials and geometry is like trying to eat a soup sandwich. If the brass is doing such a good job... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I use a Sistrum Sp101 platform under my Optima Red Top battery that powers my Altmann/DD Dac combo. Using the platform made for an immediate improvement over just the Audiopoints on carpet over concrete floor. Battery on just the floor was the lea... | |
| MDF Rack dampening question With your additional choice of materials you are now trapping more vibrations and .....over a longer period of time. Instead of allowing for and providing a path for vibrations to naturally migrate away fom your components you have provided a grea... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? Vibrational patterns within a wooden instrument can be realigned with the proper singular substitution of a component part of an endpin. The aperture/void to receive the end pin makes for an almost complete disconnect between the front,back, top, ... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? Thanks Mr E. Maximum coupling is the key. I saw the platforms. With what I am doing now for floor standing instruments you would not need to have an additional platform. My device provides maximum coupling at the instrument side as well as the flo... | |
| MDF Rack dampening question The MDF itself is on the verge of providing to much damping,all that saw dust and glue. I once had a Michael Green stand which came with steel all thread rods that made the shelfs adjustable. Replacing the steel with brass made for a dramatic impr... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? I am not a player..I have developed a direct coupled purely mechanical End Pin for cello and bass that increases string and wood reactance, decreases wrist and forearm fatigue with a gain in acoustic output as much as 1.5db/50%. Tom | |
| Quatre dg-250 amplifier I had a Quatre Gain Cell amp. In the early 80's I thought this amp was very special. I gave it away to someone who thought he could fix it. Probably still trying to figure it out. Tom | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC If you do a search for rfi and emi shielding materials you will find many different types and variations. The foil types made of copper with adhesive maybe the most simple to procure and to use. I have a couple of copper foil inductors I could unr... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC David my last post was in reference to removing the entire cover off the AC mains breaker box. Tom | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC About a year ago on another thread, I told of removing the ferrous cover on my ac mains box. That made for a nice improvement and heard by others in my listening room as my system was being played. Tom | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC I use brass ac outlet cover faceplates. My power cords use steel bearing fill as a dielectric RFI shield as well as being a drain for micro-vibrations. I love that sound. I will try out the copper end shield over and near the IEC end of my power c... | |
| SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead? For the best in sound use a reative material such as steel shot or brass. Tom | |
