| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner After increasing my utilities supply amperage and having a contractor install a sub panel with uninterrupted dedicated circuits the improvement was substantial. All for less than $1k. | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Reyn, yes, my Raleigh was 531 butted tubing with a longish wheelbase, very comfy. It was a great relief and a good training tool during the two aluminium road bike ass hatchets which were very short lived. The Calfee is tube and joint carbon and i... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Sold my 1972 Reynolds 853 Raleigh Professional cream puff last year. I do miss the ride but now I'm down to two bikes, a Santa Cruz Heckler with XTR rapid rise shifting and my trusty Calfee (Record) Tetra. Both manufactured just minutes from home. | |

| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas I don't see how the physics of a speakers signal arrive time at the listening position due to improper speaker placement and poorly timed room reflections (old stereo rules) can be overcome without using digital room correction.I experimented with... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Bo, I find your assessment of Eidolons unusual. Could you describe your rooms length and width, speaker distance from front wall (the wall behind the speakers), and the amount of toe in? Your priority of wire material over actual cable design is, ... | |
| Pass Labs XP-20 or Audio Research Ref 3? +1 Caarles1.I found myself going round and round with Bo and I agree he definitely has a passion. I very much admire his ability to communicate like an American politician that well in another language. | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? What are the folks at Cary listening to? http://www.tnt-audio.com/tours/cary_e.htmlUnless you're thinking of near field studio monitors musicality in speakers is very subjective and of personal taste.
