I live about a half mile from railroad tracks, and I can feel it through my concrete floor when a train rolls through. Significantly cheaper and superior is Machina Dynamica Springs. He has ... | |
| “Oppomod” linear power supply I did it to my 105 to excellent effect, but now only use it to spin SACDs DVD-As...Maybe 5 months ago I bought a Audio Alchemy DAC/PRE just for the pre, but eventually tried the internal dac and was blown away by how much better it is than the 105s | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? I have owned Stillpoins with risers, Mapleshade , Herbies, ceramic cones, ... but until I tried Machina Dynamica springs (different sizes for weight) that I began to hear what vibration control in the 3 dimensions does | |

| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? No (SIGH!),While I could DIY (install) a buffer (~ $300), I do not have a proper soldering iron, neither do I trust my very basic skills. It deserves a good home. Now for sale on AA | |
| Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings I have owned Accoustat 2 + 2 s, Maggie 3.5Rs and now the bargain tat is not a room divider- Emerald Physics KCIIs (with wireWorld OCC upgrade). They throw an incredible soundstage, as well as excellent bass. Hard to beat for ~$2K | |

| Have you ever changed speakers to expereince a different "soundscape" or presentation?? The opposite is true for me.

| Emerald Physics: Ultimate Bang for the Buck? WOW, can't believe I neglected to updateI made 2 serious upgrades to my system since then* Audio Alchemy stereo amp, which has a ton more bass and midbass than the EP100.2SEs.

| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo My highest recommendation would be to get a Audio Alchemy Dac/Pre (both sides are amazing) + a transport. I would order the NuPrime transport from audio Advisor (returnable, but I doubt you would) | |
| In need high-efficency speakers After 2 of the OPs posts where he did not tell what his budget is, then scrolling through ALL the replies, I did not see anyone ask his budget ?????????? | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? I hope you weren't implying that I make money for doing so. They are incredible speakers for the money. This was made even more evident of late. I replaced my Emerald Physics 100.2SE power amps, and a Parasound P5 with built-in dac. I owned these ... | |
