| Rick Schultz`s new cable Yesterday I did a search for an ADA P2150 amp [not familiar with the product] and a seller had one in perfect shape but said it had a loose RCA connection. A loose RCA with a heavy cable suspended from a poor mechanical connection could wreck havo... | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh Besides McIntosh what other type of amplification most uses output transformers? Tom | |
| Using protective discs under brass footers RockyboyThe brass coupling discs when used become an extension of the points themselves. The discs seem to increase the surface area and add more than a few degrees of musicality to the whole event. Focus and speed seem to increase with no added s... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat I have some new acoustic devices that I now use on my speakers and lay on the floor. The way that sound travels over and around these devices can be altered by the finish flat, satin or pebbled coarse. The placement required determines the finish ... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Color, finish and texture all three for sure. Add one more and that is material foursure.. Tom | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat With our mat the edges did not need to be painted ..Secondary edge treatment was dismissed because the design encompassed the entire CD. Tom | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Couple of us at Starsound had our hand in the development of a CD cover mat several years back. Ours [I still have a couple for my own use] had a feature that no other brand attempted... repeatable top and edge cover all with the same device and t... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable RickThanks so much for the suggestion and sale of neodymium magnets as replacements of fuses in the audio signal path of my sound system. Tom | |
| Upgrading Fuses LaceeI have been using magnets instead of fuses as suggested by Rick Schultz for the last 5 years. Rick and I shared some common experience in amp layout, speaker design, resonance control and core ideas for cables. Rick's turn on of magnets were ... | |
| Isolation pads for the speaker stands KizaNow remove all the sand and replace with reactive agents such as brass powder or steel bearings. Vibration will be attracted and drawn to these materials.Fill 25 to 30%.. The speaker needs to be terminated to the stand and the stand needs to b... | |
| Isolation pads for the speaker stands The bass never changed..the spectral balance and dynamics changed. The sand and soft materials suck the life right out of thin air resulting in a dark and deaden sound..No air, what you have left is the perception of more bass and less of the musi... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Replaced all the fuses in my system sometime back with neodymium magnets..No fires..only thing that glows is much more music. Tom | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? Mechanical grounding is the main component, basis and foundation for dynamic expression. Material choice and geometry dictate the collection speed and termination of all things that are in motion...which is everything. Most audio devices are over ... | |
| MOSFET's vs Bipolar's Belles uses Exicon lateral power mosfets..Luminance Audio used the Hitachi lateral power mos fets. Tom | |
| MOSFET's vs Bipolar's Lateral power Mosfets from Exicon can be drop in replacements for many types of devices supplied by Toshiba and Hitachi. The Exicons supply 30% greater current have much greater speed and lower capacitance. In my particular amp they increased reso... |
