| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor So Warren is heaven at arms reach? Or is heaven all around you like a fabulous soundstage? Tom | |
| Krell sacd+Chord Dac64 Help please Ben I have the Krell and love it,especially on a Sistrum Platform and using a Sonoran Plateau power cord. I have a couple of outboard DAC's laying around I will try one and hear what I may hear and let you know the results. Tom | |
| What steps forward were actually steps backward? Dampening devices are killers of music. Tom | |
| Totem Beaks Try the Sonic Surfboards, they improve the mids and highs and staging on a wide variety of speakers. From my Dunlavys to Thiels to Paradigm, all sound better with the addition. ..Tom | |
| KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50 I have the Krell and I am shocked at how good it is playing regular cd's. It has been in my system now for 30 days and left on constantly. I have not listened for a week or more and was blown away by how much bigger more defined the staging has be... | |
| custom Crossover building service?? I did not to want screw up the time arrival balance of the 5 drivers in my Dunlavy SC4's. I elected to change the mechanical and material makeup of the crossover only, all the values remained the same even as the crossover grew out of the enclosur... | |
| custom Crossover building service?? Upgrade the parts quality do not change the values.Are there any parts values you can determine...resistors are the cheapest and most bang for your buck...Ohmite non-inductive wire wound available from North Creek Music Systems.Tom | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century As for power cords I use all Sonoran Plateau..The Plateau has the Micro-Bearing steel insulator. Really wokeup my Krell SACD player..Everything is now in the right proportion and with even greater perspective..I have the old Sonoran cable hardwire... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Or, In search of the next level. Tom | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Yep....Tom | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Charlie you are correct. The cabinet is in motion and stores energy and that counteracts the motion of the drivers we only wish to hear. That is why I use the Sistrum stands under all my components as well as speakers. The designer makes claims th... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Sir you are mistaken. The back and forth motion of a 100lb speaker on a carpeted floor while reproducing music is greater than the total excursion of the tweeter in that very same speaker. So much for proper phase response and time alignment..And ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, the most effective way to reach the synergy we all wish to achieve is thru high speed mechanical grounding techniques. Ground is the point of reference,and the most efficient way to reach the reference is direct coupling..Tom | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? You have lost efficiency by hanging the speaker in air.The natural tendency is for the cone to move back and forth. The back emf is swinging the speaker.. The front force of the cone is being cancelled by the back emf. Who wants that? An athlete c... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Sir I beg to differ. In your proposal there is no provision for resonant energy to leave. The resonance will come out the front the back the sides. You will have a 360 degree resonant pattern to augment the music..Tom |
