| What was your biggest priority? My system is as good as it's weakest link. Usually, when I upgrade one thing, it begins a lengthy (fun) process of a total system upgrade. I always say to my wife, however, "this is the last time honey." Anybody relate to this? Don't go crazy here... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Well, Tennispro? You started (thread) this baby. Got enough? I certainly have. You got a lot of good stuff to make a good sonic decision. Let's put this baby to bed guys.. | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Like I said (thanks audiotweak) 30 posts ago. Cones under everything. You want to transfer resonance, not absorb. Your ears will love it. You don't mixed the two, like the tweakman said. Make a comittment to do one, listen, then do the other. Your... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? It's ridiculous. The next thing will be A++ and then....... For every Paul Bolin there will be someone with a different scoop. It's ridiculous and like Philefreak says;everything is very system dependent. Hey we're audiophools. It's an incurable d... | |
| What are 6 feet going to do for me? Speaking of inductance: This is to you Audioengr. Since you say that cheaper cords have higher inductance then the more expensive ones: Is it possible, however, to find a $200 cord with the same inductance as one for $1000. Is there a way to know ... | |
| Sand or Lead shot Don't use either. You don't want to absorb resonance, but transfer them to the floor. I agree with all the guys who recommended Starsound's Micro-Bearnings. The difference is amazing. Call Robert over there and he'll give you the sonic scoop to wh... | |
| advice on integrated amp A used YBA Integre. 50 glorious high current watts. I don't think you can do better for the price. Beautifully built and sweet sounding. Can do battle with amps for twice the price...and win. You understand, that your post is going to generate pos... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? When and if you use a loading device it should be a solid metal. Not sand or lead. The idea is not to absorb vibrations, but transfer them to the ground. There are many vibrations that are good and you don't want to lose them. Robert over at Star ... | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Put cones under everything. Your ears will be very happy. If you don't have them, already, on the bottom of your rack legs: PUT THEM THERE too. I have not compared them, but I use Audiopoints cones and am very happy with the sound. You can really ... | |
| Revel Performa Series Can be driven by a Receiver? Your Pioneer will not do justice to your M20s. I own them. They blossom with a lot of high quality power/current. I don't know about receivers, but you can go with a quality integrated. There are oodles of high current/quality out there. You plan ... | |
| Using subs as speaker stands ? Ozlfy is dead on. This stacking idea is not the way to go. I think you have some good information in these threads to make a decision. You may have to make more changes than you thought. The stacking idea, however, goes agaisnt resonance principle... | |
| Using subs as speaker stands ? BAD idea. It sounds good for your space problems, but the resonances you'll transfer back and forth will have an adverse affect on your sound. You should put your monitors on killer stands as well as your subs. I hope you realize, with monitor spe... | |
| What gear do Audio manufacturers use at home? I promised these guys that I wouldn't reveal their names, but there are a few big boys out there who still love Lafayette Electronics matched with Criterion bookshelf speakers. That was my first stereo too. Coincidence or what? | |
| Vibration Tweaks You got him. Maybe damping the tonearm and headshell to help with pickup. I'll give you that. But that's all. Theaudiotweak is dead on about everything else. | |
| Vibration Tweaks I agree with Tom. I use the same products and am as pleased as punch. They (Star Sound Technology) are, now, producing speaker stands that are the best I have ever heard. They are based on the same technology. I mentioned it in an earlier post. It... |
