What are your thoughts about moving up product line(s) within a Company? Audio Note products are designed around this idea, especially their speakers. The various models of the E range from around $4000 to $200000+. They all use the same cabinet & design, and look the same. As you move up the line, you get better q... | |
What are your favorite upright 4-5 shelve audio rack recommendations? You might consider going with the Pangea Vulcan rack from Audio Advisor, and saving some money. I haven't compared it to higher end racks, but it is very well built, and a great value for the money. | |
Snake oil and tweaks that work! jaybe,Yes, I would say the effects are similar. They both lower the noise floor, and work well together. I found the iQSEs work best when placed close to a power transformer. Inside the chassis, if possible/practical, but they still work well plac... | |
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic geoffkait,I was just saying, don’t blame the equipment designers for the connectors they’re pretty much forced to use.Do you remember Mark Levinson and CAMAC? | |

New Tweak --- Its Fantastic dynaquest4,Trolls run down and ridicule things they have zero experience with, and no real interest in trying, in order to stir up controversy for their own amusement. That's exactly what you’re doing here, and have a history of doing elsewhere. | |
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic The bigger corporations, institutions and industries are always going to be slower to adopt new ideas and technologies, for a variety of reasons. Of course they are going to want extensive testing. Meanwhile, us individuals can try things, and tak... | |
Snake oil and tweaks that work! Two controversial (at least to those who’ve never tried them) tweaks that have made substantial improvements in my system are:Synergistic Research Quantum Blue Fuses (Yes, they are directional.)Bybee iQSEs (internal Quantum Signal Enhancers)On the... | |
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable When I first got the UG, I briefly tried plugging it into the unused SPDIF output of my CEC TL-5 CD Transport, to see if it would make any difference there. I believe I heard an improvement. With the excellent results on my preamp, I decided to or... | |
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic ps,forum member ozzy tried the Mad Scientist graphene enhancer, and, I believe, stopped using it because of some issues. You can do a search to find the details. | |
Anyone in Vermont (especially the Burlington area) interested in an informal audio club? I see there have been 40 views of this. I'm not talking about an organized club with scheduled meetings, dues and all that. Basically, I am a home audio enthusiast with a nice system, who would like to get together with like-minded people to hang ... |
