| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? Maybe you should consider hearing the new, active Innersound Eros Mk3 speakers. They are a Hybrid stat/transmission line woofer that is said to have the most seamless stat/woofer blend in the industry. They have the best of what stats do and a kil... | |
| PLC Sound Application vs Hydra My listening tests were consistant with Ejlif. The CFX is clearly better than the Hydra in recreating the more believable performance between the 2 conditioners. Still, the CFX is not the last word in creating a realistic performance as far as con... | |
| How's your mother? Tireguy,The Elrod powercord that is recommended for all lower current components such as digital front ends, preamps and even small single ended amps is either the standard EPS #2 or the EPS #2 Signature. Both are now available. Regards,Tony | |

| Equi Tech Q-2 or Powersnake Hydra I have not had the opportunity to listen to any of the products from Foundations Research. Most of the popular conditioners like the ones I listened to before are really good and all seem to have their specific strengths. Before I heard the Stealt... | |
| Equi Tech Q-2 or Powersnake Hydra Goone,I couldn't help but notice your post. I'll tell you a little story and hopefully it may answer your questions from a different perspective...As a dealer, albeit a small one, I've been fortunate to play with alot of goodies. About three years... | |
| Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet? Bryans, I too have experienced that tracking problem you mentioned where it won't access a specific track on a disc even once the disc has been playing. But it will play the track just fine if the cd is simply playing through the disc. Get this, I... | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? I heard a rumor that the infamous Robert Lee @ Acoustic Zen is coming out with an inwall a/c powercable made of his Zero Crystal Copper to address this specific issue. I can't wait to try out some of that stuff. | |
| Krell Mono 350M Vs. Mark Levinson Mono 33H If you are limited to those 2 choices I strongly prefer the Levinson 33H. It is more detailed, grain free and flat out musical compared to the FPB offerings. The Levinson 33H is a very nice amplifier. I hope this helps. | |
| Steve Huntley Mods Steve Huntley is still in business and from what I understand it has been growing rapidly. I have used Steve and his upgrade "know how" to perform modifications on a Wadia 861. He is quite knowledgable about the Wadia products and does very nice, ... | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? Please add the Acoustic Zen powercords to that audition list. I use King Cobras V2's and a Hydra in my system. The Acoustic Zen powercords are nearly the equal to the V2's and in 1 respect better the V2 that was feeding the Art Audio Diavolo ampli... | |
| What affects timing in a system? Speaker placement should be exact with respect to left/right front/back and toe in. Also the maggies should be checked for the plumbness of the panels with respect to each other. If the speakers are off by even the slightest tiny bit it causes dif... | |
| Demagnetize or NOT ? I demagnetize cd's with the furutech unit regularly. I also use the densen CD De-Magic demagnetizer disc too. They work exceptionally well. | |
| Do TubeTraps require symmetry? Yes... To best answer your questions here are my experiences with tubetraps with dynamic speakers(no stats or horns as of yet). I have and use 10 tube traps total (6)-16" & (4)-9"... I also use 16 of their wall panels in my lopsided florida gr... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Info Available The Hydra does in fact come with a hydra cable which I believe is a sidewinder with a 15 amp twistlock plug to connect into the Hydra. The male plug is standard brass and not silver plated... The Hydra does sound better than a single King Cobra V2... |
