| To couple or decouple? That is the question. Man, here we go again. Coupling is the way to go. It can be achieved fairly inexpensively. Decoupling or isolating, as it's well known, is impossible to achieve. The isolating principles alone, store the nasty airborne resonances, and inherent res... | |
| IC for Moon/Revel I don't know anything about your cdp, but your IC should be the very best you can afford comfortably, and in balance, obviously with your system. That IC you are using is killing what could be a nice sounding system. I use the Golden Cardas Refere... | |
| Calling Thiel owners please... Spikes and their platform system: two different animals. One (spikes) is good and the other is: whoa! Check with Robert. He'll set you free. You'll be happy either way. peace, warren | |
| Calling Thiel owners please... The spikes on the Thiels (I used to own the CS1.5s) are pretty darn poor. goto audiopoints.com and get yourself some killer platforms (cones/spike system) to put your babies on. You'll think you bought new speakers. Speak to Robert over there. He ... | |
| Frank Sinatra at The Sands-Live........ Took me awhile, but finally, after listening to my Dad rave for years, I got into Sinatra. When Sinatra recorded Strangers in the Night (acutally, his voice deterioration happened long before that) his voice was way over. Go back to the mid to ear... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Well stated, as usual, Tom. That's why I did not go there. I knew you were out there. Tom is dead on Proyster. Couple to mother earth and your system will be free. Free of those nasty microphonous meanies. How, (with isolation), can you isolate yo... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Proy, may man, I am very confused. I think your choice to go with the Sistrum (for your amp) is great. Obviously you're going with coupling and not isolating. Why o why don't you want to do the same with your cdp? Much easier to couple than decoup... | |
| what this site needs ... It is what it is. Audiogon is, bottom line, simple, clean, functional and well policed by it's own. It, just gets boring. Let's face it, not much has been happening for awhile. That's not the 'gon's fault, of course. I guess I'm just suffering fro... | |
| Magneplanars Bryston 4B has the balls for those babies. I used a 4B for my Tympani 1Ds. They (Magnaplanars) can take whatever you feed em. The more quality power, the better. With Bryston you get real quality bang for the buck. There are others, too, of course... | |
| Best way to combine Sub and floor speakers? Choice A--definitely! peace, warren | |
| Good Jazz/Vocal Reference CD Recommendations? Ella, Doug McCleoud, Sam McClain on XRCD. I could go on and on, but you've got other audiophools for that. Check these babies out. It's a humble start. There's oodles out there. Plenty of stuff in the archives. Here we go again. We've done this th... | |

| Bookshelf vs. Floorstand I second Sean99. Subwoofer is essential. It's only a matter of ( a short) time 'til you'll realize that you're longing for what's below 40Hz. As you can see, I use a sub, as well. | |
| Bookshelf vs. Floorstand Stands are VERY important. Fundemental extension of your monitors. Great monitors deserve great stands. I have the Revel M20s matched with the Sistrum Mini Monitor Platform System. Now that's a support system. They (Starsound Technnologies) also h... |
