| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? Well, when I brought home an AQ Niagara power conditioner to audition in my Stereo I decided it was a keeper. I had been using a Furman Elite 15 PF i power conditioner. What to do-so I put the Furman in the Home Theater system which has a few m... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! I treated the analog side of my system. I have been progressively treating the connections in my stereo system with the NPS-1260. It is a very tiny bottle but seems to go a long way. I treated the pins of the phono cartridge, the DIN connector ... | |
| Thiel Owners To make sure we are talking the same thing- on the first track, the bass drum comes in at 28 seconds. It is a double tap through out the song. I listened to some of the Nameless album. Interesting and well recorded. The vocals are very intimat... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank you for sharing. Using subs adds a lot of flexibility to tuning the system to the room. I also experimented with speaker/sub placement. I like the Thiel's well away from the back wall to create a deep and wide soundstage but that does lea... | |
| Thiel Owners Interesting conversation about the Wilson’s. I heard the Alexia 2’s for the first time about 10 months ago and auditioned them in depth in June. The Alexia’s have fantastic bass. The mids and highs sounded faster than the Thiels but the Thiels hav... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! It is 11:15 AM I just now worked up the will power to shut down my stereo. My whole morning is shot but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I turned on the stereo very early this morning to let it warm up and then I planned to listen to some music for an h... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! The 1260 showed up yesterday. I applied some just to my speaker cable spades on the amplifier side- nowhere else at 3 PM. I let the system warm up for an hour. I didn’t expect to hear any changes but I did. I immediately heard a bigger soundst... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! I get my bottle tomorrow but now I’m wondering about the long term effects of this material. If it takes 6 weeks to gain optimal benefits what happens beyond that? Does the material stabilize and the joint stabilize? What about after one or tw... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! Jerry123, we certainly are all messed up. The minute any of us moved beyond a home theatre receiver and a roll of speaker wire we essentially took the blue pill. Things that I scoffed at in the 90s such as expensive patch cords- well, I now have... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! You guys have convinced me to try this stuff. My bottle is supposed to arrive Tuesday but it is coming via FedEx so who knows. I’m tempted to do the whole system at once starting with the circuit breakers in my dedicated circuits to the pins on a... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers Thank you. No, I have always run the cables in parallel. The risers space the two signal cables 1/2” apart whereas before the risers the cables lay side by side. I try to keep power cables distanced and at right angles to the signal cables. I am u... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... If they don’t believe in power cords because they don’t understand how they work, I’m guessing they do not fly in airplanes either. | |
| Fun With Cable Risers If you look at my system page, I show a picture of some cable risers that I made myself. I used ceramic electric fence insulators with 3/4" hardwood dowels and number 33 rubber bands for the suspension. The 4x4" wood platforms sit on rubber feet... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson The subs integrated perfectly into my system. I have to either turn them off or put my hand in front of the cones to tell if they are working. And I agree with you that once you experience that last octave down to 20 Hz it is hard to give it up.... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson Hi James633- I actually have subs in my room. I put them near the corners behind the main speakers. After hearing the Wilson Alexia 2's for the first time, I came back and "tuned" the subs to the room better using what I heard at the store. I p... |
