| Dueland Cables I used their predecessors, the vintage Western Electric 16 ga wire in my bedroom system and they were much more musical than my former Mogami cables, which were very good for little money. I had a pair of the Dueland IC's made and they are excel... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Oh, a further thought. I initially used these pads nude and they left permanent blemishes on my audio rack so I clad them with self-adhering felt, which is also inexpensive and allows one to move the components more easily. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Good to know, thank you. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? rlb61,Great suggestion trying these EVA's. I am using them under some components and the 4"X4" cork-laminated ones under my heavy amps. I can't honest attest to greater SQ, but the cost is a trifling so it is a sensible place to start on the que... | |
| Oppo CDP is outstanding Melm,I had a modest upgrade to my 103 a few years ago by Stereo Dave's shop in Seattle which was an excellent sonic upgrade, but I have no clue what they did to it in terms of upgrades. I play my 7TB of digital music via my iMac, connected to my ... | |
| Cooling fan for tube amp? Great suggestions, but I need a fan to be mounted on the back of the rack to cool the amp. Just a wee bit of air movement will suffice. | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? I think our collective chains are being yanked by the OP, but the clever responses by folks far more witty than me have made this an interesting thread. So far as I can see, MDF is an "engineered" wood product, but more immune to resonance issues... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions Ray,This is an intriguing product line of isolation devices which strike me as very affordable. Thanks for the post, I will have a further look at them. There are many paths to excellent isolation devices and there is solid science behind their ... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair The Joseph Audio Pulsars and Dynaudio C-1's are fantastic standmount speakers, but similarly worthy are the Buchardt S400 speakers which are vastly less expensive and perform very similarly. You can audition their speakers free with no shipping c... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions I am using these inexpensive isolation pads under my Don Sachs' tube amp and I sense a bit lower sound floor to the music, but it might well be "confirmation bias." At any rate, they are worth a try. https://www.amazon.com/PneumaticPlus-Anti-Vi... | |
| Recommendations for a tonearm upgrade on a VPI Classic 4 turntable ha ha, fair enough. I am a pensioner and my final straw was when my active cat jumped on my tone arm and destroyed the stylus on my Dynavector cartridge. With my digital music, no pops, no clicks, no cleaning records, and no worries about what to... | |
| Recommendations for a tonearm upgrade on a VPI Classic 4 turntable I can relate to your tonearm woes. I switched from my Sota Sapphire vacuum table with an SAEC 407 tonearm and Dynavector 20X2 LOMC to a modified Oppo 205D CDP. I have never second-guessed the decision. | |
| Power strip for sequenced preamp/amp turn on and turn off? It depends on the number of connections you need for your gear, but TLP is a reliable source for power conditioners. I got their TF110 power conditioner, but I honestly can't say that there was any SQ improvement in the sound of my system. The ... | |
| John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19 I share in the grief of his passing, one of the greatest songwriters of our generation with a voice perfectly suited for his lyrics. I loved his music for ~40 years. RIP, JP. |
