| Good fix-- Have you scratched the wood on your Cornwall IVs? Almond scratch repair sticks are pretty magical. I have used one for a number of different finishes and they do the trick. Used to own a set of Klipsch and guess it would work well on that oil finish. Not perfect, but a nice quick fix. | |
| What is wrong with my system? Having gone from a solid state to tube preamp, I can say they will warm things up a bit, but if the problem is that your system is truly "bassless", I have my doubts it will solve all your problems. I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest ... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? Great discussion, thanks for all the feedback. It sounds like some real results can be achieved with the right solutions. Per my other thread on subwoofer isolation/anchoring I ordered some Nobsound springs for low cost experimentation. I will let... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? "zlone" = Corvette or Camaro? Neither :-). Though loosely related to an engine additive. | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? Great feedback everyone, thank you. As a low cost test I ordered some Nobsound springs, though something like a Subdude is definitely under consideration. I shall report back. | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? It would be helpful to know what are the components in your system to suggest effective isolation / tuning. Primary components are Schiit Gungnir, Schiit Freya +, Coda #8. Primarily looking at more isolation for the Schiit components for star... | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? I will open the door to shameless promotion. I have limited vertical space in my rack, any suggestions for low profile feet/dampers that are actually effective? | |
| Vibration - What are the Main Sources? So far I am hearing: the earth (was wondering about that), motors/gears, the components themselves, and of course speakers. As for components, are there certain types of internal components/transformers that are greater offenders than others? e.g.... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? While not quite night and day, the upgrade of my Gungnir to Multibit was an immediate and noticeable improvement. Zlone, what did you upgrade to? I owned the original Gungnir and later had them upgrade it to multibit version. That upgrade wa... | |

| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real I would be interesting if someone bought a new pair of monoblock amps and burned in one amp and then compared the two. I bet the sound difference would be very audible between the two amps.THAT would be an interesting experiment! | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real Just to wrap this one up, after a month or so of continuous play I have to say the Coda 8 is a spectacular amp. I still feel strongly that there was a break-in period, not just a case of warming it up for few days. I can now shut off my equipment ... | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real You, and everyone who thinks they hear equipment breaking in, need to read my articles about this topic at Dagogo.com;Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn Inand Audiophile Law: Burn In Text Redux The community needs to gain some... | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real it was so different, sometimes, weak midrange, sometime in your face midrange, treble sometimes, super bright, other times relaxed and warm, Same with the bass, deep, not deep, tight, muddled, Thanks for your post, I am experiencing some of ... | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real Solid state can take days to stabilize and should always be left on. Just leave it on for a week or two, then turn it off one night, you will see. That is my next test. I have been assuming that I am witnessing break-in and not just the need to... |
