| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Oh GeoffDirect mechanical coupling ..no bed springs in between no rubber in between.Matching material speed and material shape is a part of maintaining signal continuity. Maintains Dynamica instead of reducing Dynamica. Tom | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? GeoffIf you took your Machina Dynamica and direct coupled all of them they'd be more Dynamica. Tom | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? After you took the time to learn the technique of direct mechanical coupling of transformers, caps, circuit boards and output devices you would then hear a huuuuge benefit versus the same components when damped or constrained. (Terribly depressing... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Some of you should leave these pages and move to the halls of Congress. There you can take refuge and be at home with all the other closed looped idiots who do nothing butt maintain and promote, flat earth ignorance.Tom | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Gents, If your speaking about a fuse that has 2 blades like a car fuse I feel that such a design is less of a compromise of performance when compared to a standard glass fuse. Tom | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Don't know how long. I know to discern the difference on sound quality takes only an instant. I use one of the two I mentioned but both are very good. Don't try this at home or in a tree house in the sky. On one the direction is innate. I have not... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'll do that and be happy to compare any of the contenders to a N52 cryo'd magnet that has a mu-metal collar around its center. Even add to the lineup a cryo'd copper rod cut and polished to size. And your right that shouldn't take long. Tom | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Don't try this at home. No fuse rolling for me as I have been using cryo treated N52 magnets for years. Direction is obvious as you follow the ac voltage in and follow the dc voltage rails. Couple bucks apiece before doing the cryo and treating th... | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin Yep..energy is always in a search for a better pathway to ground. Whether energy is riding in it or on it. Tom | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin Cryo treatment is permanent unless the material is brought to or near its annealing temperature as told to me by Dr. Randall F. Barron of Louisiana Tech University. A thousand years ago or so I emailed the Dr. about the benefits of cryo treatment ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Lack of highs can sometimes be heard as lack of distortion or noise taking an unwanted free ride along with the musical waveform. Perhaps a case of mistaken identity. Maybe your hearing a more pure and non polluted signal coming from this pair of ... | |
| Novum Resonator Alternative RoxyYou could try bolting together a pair of Hi Hat cymbals and hear what happens with this higher mass combo. The pair maybe more similar in weight to the Novum resonator. If they rattle when joined you could place some felt dots between the 2 wh... | |
| Novum Resonator Alternative Roxy Looking at your thread 18 hours later it seems as if I barged in. Sorry about that intrusion.What you have started here is very interesting and your methods and observations should be shared. I for one am not a user of damping materials and I... | |
| Novum Resonator Alternative I agree with both of you.. it is a sound director and an acoustic resonator. While the front side is directive the back side is reflective so positioning to the rear wall is important. Like Roxy I wondered if this unit could be mimicked in some wa... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Geoff,Every product you have mentioned at length is a transducer..a converter of one energy form to another energy form. All transducers have loses and yes that's (what you want) and (how you think). The Star Sound products are not based on that s... |
