| Sand or Lead shot Micro-bearing steel was chosen for the specific application of transfering resonant energy to ground. Again Sistrum was designed as a high speed transfer agent not as a slow speed blurred focus, time signature distorted ,dynamic dampening device. ... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Micro-bearing around the final dielectric of the new Sonoran cables also makes a big difference. Same increase in blacker backround more detail and better focus as Ken discribed when he added micro-bearing to his rack. Sistrum platforms are benifi... | |
| What type of solder do you use and why? Riehl Copper solder from Starsound, has given me the best sound. NO LEAD..LEAD free highs. This formula is an original not just a re-label! I have 2 sets of cables both assembled by the same tech. One set with silver based solder the other with Ri... | |
| Using subs as speaker stands ? Component quality speaker stands exist! Rubber will only slow and then re-release stored resonant energy back into your speakers, your room, and again your speakers, and then your room again . This continuim does not stop. I would first optimise y... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Fantastic results after installing the largest Sistrum platforms under my almost still Dunlavy SC4's. Bigger speakers or amps require larger, and deserve, larger platforms. Marked improvement in bottom end, larger clearer window on the sound. Most... | |
| Has The Maker ever seen yours? Almost fifty now means I"ve been around awhile. My first home was the most visited.. Late 70's early 80's. Peter Snell late of Snell Accoustics, Jon DahlQuist ya got to remember him. Matt Polk Of Polk Audio. Tom Holman of then Apt Holman and NOW..... | |
| Vibration Tweaks What selected resonances are being dampened that will not interfere with dynamics, transient speed, or coherence..?You succeeded in re-tuning your arm and cartridge by shifting the resonances to a different frequency. They are still attached. | |
| Vibration Tweaks Sistrum and Audiopoints are based on physics and not conjecture. These devices are the only ones I am aware of that were simultaneously designed to evacuate, electrical, mechanical,as well as airborne disturbances. They do not dampen nor do they i... | |
| Would a Fabric Room Divider Interfere with sound? The TV is whats interfering with the sound. The fabric could only make it better! You must be experiencing severe reflections off the the TV in between your speakers . If you do build a frame of wood and cloth try taming reflections on the insides... | |
| Vibration Tweaks Let it vibrate. You can't fight mother nature. However you can introduce a high speed condutive path for the Coloumb energy to exit. I have been using Audio Points and Sistrum products for nearly 10 yrs. These devices based on Coloumbs law of phys... | |
| Best used Redbook CDP for 1700 Sony 777es died in comparison against 9year old PS Audio dac and transport. Sony was a joke! Soundstage on Sony was non existent, came right to the speakers edge. 9 year old vintage PS.went from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. I used the same d... | |
| I need help choosing a power conditioner. Spend your money improving the electrical path not patching with band-aids. Power conditioners may only help when and where you can not pull a dedicated line with a high quality ac outlet to feed your equipment. Always improve the most basic of si... | |
| Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running I have had cancellation problems with my Dunlavy SC4's. I cured this problem with a crazy looking angled baffle that extends from the top of my speaker to the ceiling. This baffle has about 8 degrees of tilt and hinged angles on the sides. Seems t... | |
| What are the "best" DYNAMIC speakers available? Best tonal balance of any loudspeaker in my 34 yr.listening experience is that of the Harmonic Precision Caravels. Must be the series crossover, oh so very dynamic. | |
| Bridge or not to bridge Do not buy an Adcom GFA565. I had a pair a few years back and it was crap. I used them on my pair of subs at that time.Anemic is the word. Adcom GFA 5500 is a much better amp or a 5800 or 5802. Tom |
