| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? Orthomead, is the Rhodium a slug from Mark? Where are you seeing slug options? I was thinking that tuning slugs would be cheap and a lot of fun, but don't know where to buy them!!! Thank you for your comments. I can see a future thread where we sh... | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? I have added power conditioning incrementally. I find it easier to take it out of the system after it burns in to be able to hear the loss of it's effects. I Have 3 dedicated 10 gauge 20 amp circuits. I added Shunyata defenders more for protection... | |
| Transport--Used PS Audio PerfectWave or New Teac VRDS 701T???? I have read that PS Audio uses a D and M drive. Once I reserched it, I found it is a Dennon and Marantz "D & M" drive. I don't find in the reviews that the D and M drive is better than the Teac/Esoteric VRDS system. It is interesting that Teac... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget I agree with the original ratio given the amp gives the speakers what they need. If not, the amp becomes a bigger value than being buried in the 35% total. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I am straight from my DAC to my amp as of 10 months ago and couldn't be happier. I tried to go straight two times before, but couldn't pull it off:) Digital components are really improving. | |
| Shocking Lampizator Service Just to put another twist on this, the problem I was having with channel imbalance came back intermitantly, so I started trying to figure it out with Lukasz again. I am embarased to report that the problem I had is/was due to a quad of tubes that ... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 I have only one set of XLRs that go from my Horizon DAC/preamp to my Gryphon EVO amp so its been less costly to go up the product lines. I have been running a Shunyata Sigma V2 Interconnect and have on loan from my dealer an Audioquest Dragon. The... | |
| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise Look at a used Grimm MU1 streamer. I moved up from a dCS Vivaldi Upsampler to a Grimm MU1 streamer and have had it about 2 years and still love it. There are used ones showing up now that they are building the MU1 streamer with a DAC-in-the-box. A... | |

| Why whole house surge protectors are not enough Did I miss the response to what we think about "Envionmental Potentials" as a protective technolgy? VH Audio has always seemed to be edgy, but grounded in things that work, and they carry their products. I would really love to have more protection... | |
| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes +1 on the CCAs. I also bought the Mullards from Jesse, but I lost too much of the good stuff. The cca is so good, resolution without etch. | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? I use a swifter on my black Rockport Cygnus (lots of surface area) to remove all dust, spray on McGuires high gloss Quick Detailer, then use a new microfiber cloth very lightly. Micro fiber towels are now pretty cheap, so I only use them once on m... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers I hope they do well with these speakers. PS certainly worked hard on birthing the product line. I was very impressed with the version shown in Chicago a few years back with the removable beatifully finished wood panels. I was smitten with that ver... | |
| Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong. I listened to a current speaker model and loved it, but got cheap and bought the close-out without hearing them! I bought those speakers based on lots of reviews and industry hype. I knew better than to buy unheard, but the deal...the deal! From t... |
