| What new gear have you just bought? PS Audio offered me a great deal to trade my BHK250 for the BHK300 mono's that I just couldn't pass up. Then I found a great deal on a PS P20 power re-generator at Upscale I couldn't pass up. Those are the 2 newest upgrades lately in a stream of... | |
| What do you put underneath floorstanding speakers? I don't know how the IsoAcoustics Gaia footers would work in this situation but that might be something to research. I am sure someone a lot more knowledgeable than me would be able to answer that question for you. Just an idea. | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? PS Audio has a good deal on the BHK300 right now so you may want to give them a call to find out what they can do for you. | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k There are some very nice speakers in that price range. One that is missing on the list is the PS Audio FR30 which may look a little utilitarian compared to some of the others, but still an attractive speaker (to me at least). It certainly sounds... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" I just find it quite amazing that someone other than me can tell me what I hear or don't hear. I have a suggestion, before you disparage a product why not give it a try, what do you have to loose, as far as I know Mark gives a money back guarante... | |
| Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers? I can tell you from my experience with REL subs. I first considered both the T5X and the T9X but finally settled on the S510 with the thought of doing the same and getting a second one when my wallet recovered, the only problem with that is the r... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" I just added a second fuse box to my system, hooked up to my DAC. The improvement to the soundstage is quite amazing, now the musicians seem to occupy their own spot on the stage. On my first listen I was thinking wow I have never heard that song ... | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? @condosound +1 on the PS Audio MK2, I own one and think it sounds absolutely fabulous. | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" I have been following this thread with a lot of interest, you see I am one of the people who bought into the Swiss Digital Fuse Box, some of you may think I am one of the fools that bought into it but that’s OK. When I installed this device into m... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @tweak1 I have also suffered with tinnitus for 30 plus years which seems to get worse with age, but still doesn't sound as bad as what you are describing with your case. Tell me more about the Sonofit drops, do the seem to be working? Now on to ... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Yep, I caved and bought one of these thing too. I am so glad I did and want to give a huge thanks to @gladmo for his initial write up on this great product. Everything about the sound of my system is now better, even with my meager setup abiliti... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @gladmo Thanks again, big help. I am starting to wrap my brain around the concept of these devices, I honestly just didn't understand the application at first. I worked on cars all my life and have witnessed people replacing fuses in automobiles... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @gladmo I guess I didn't read that post. I assume I need one fuse box for each component? I also assume from what I can find on the interweb that I replace my 2 fuses near the IEC on the amp with the sluggos, then insert the fuse box somewhere b... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" My BHK 250 amp has 6 fuses in it. That would be an expensive upgrade to do my entire system plus I would have more power cords snaking all over the place, that just doesn't sound like something I could or would do. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? I bought my Focal Sopra 2's almost 3 years ago, when I decided to buy new speakers after owning the Celestion A1's for 22 years I did a lot of research. I don't have a local dealer around me so I would have to drive around 200 miles to listen to ... |
