| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? Ferrous materials around the magnetic structure (other than the pole piece} will interfere with the lines of flux.The difference I heard when I subsituted the brass machine screws was a smoother,quieter sound, less apparent hash, lower distotion,w... | |
| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? No, I did neither of those mods.I feel that if you did those type of changes you would change the time alignment.I do not have the means to measure time offset.Actually the crossover upgrades and the removal of all the steel from the around the co... | |
| thoghts about isolation. Again you cannot isolate vibration ,you can only change the amplitude and its frequency.The best way to dissipate it, is to speed its path to ground.You can bet this method is based on sound physics. | |
| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? Actually the following mods would work to improve any speaker. Remove all the ferrous metals in and around the crossover these include all the steel hardware, screws mounting brackets etc. Replace these with brass.Replace the steel screws holding ... | |
| thoghts about isolation. Why try to isolate anything, it cannot be done. You will waste your time, money, and only be frustrated with the results. Oh yeah, there will be a difference, but how often do we mistake differences for genuine improvements? Common to all systems ... | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company Totally negative experience with Richard Gray Power Station!My system became totally lifeless, non-involving and dynamically anemic with the addition of The Power Station.This change in life was very apparent to a couple of audio novices who have ... | |
| Best Power Cord The Sonoran Plateau is the best power cord I have ever experienced in my system.Much quieter backround,much more dynamic and never forward or etched sounding.I have never experienced the Virtual Dynamics power cord but I did hear the Nite intercon... | |
| Bat VK500 SS Amp and Cary 306 direct? The BAT VK30SE is a world class pre amp.I would prefer to use a pre-amp whenever possible.Extra voltage swing will give much greater dynamic contrasts,more vivid and lifelike suondstage.Most cd players with variable output have a op-amp linestage ... | |
| Power cords for BAT-VK60 mono amps I have used Sonoran Plateau power cable on a BAT VK30SE. with spectacular results. Extremely low noise floor because of its final micro-bearing shielded layer. Wildly dynamic, requires significant break in time.Well worth the wait! | |
| Do power conditioners really help? They sucked the air right out of my audio system! I have tried the Grey stuff, various Monster products, as well as MIT. They all to some worsening degree, degraded my audio only set up. I have 3 dedicated lines and now only use the Sonoran Platea... | |
| Sistrum Platforms I have been using the Sistrum platforms under every piece of my equipment,including my speakers for the last 2yrs.They simply work!Every aspect and every positive audio adjective need be applied.I installed a 6 shelf Sistrum rack when they first b... | |
| Spades or bananas If the connection is vibrating it has to be generating spurious noise and resonance. Look at some of the new ideas from Sonoran Audio.They now use a micro bearing insulator around the final dilectric of their new series of power cords, innerconnec... | |
| Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000??? Sorry,I disagree the Harmonic Precision has much more texture, better soundstage and is more dynamic than the Pass. The Pass amp sounded dark and dynamicallychallanged. This was on SCIV's | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Once you hear the AudioPoints you will not go back to the non scientific stuff you are using.These work and are based on a law of physics so you will keep them and use them as you change and upgrade all the components that are improved by sitting ... | |
| Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000??? I agree with jsrtheta the Electrocompaniet is a great amp sounds more like music than most anything out there.Kills the Adcom B&k Parasound as well as small Krells and Proceeds.Check out and see if there is a Harmonic Precision somewhere out t... |
