| Hybrid amps that can play 1 ohm loads Bob, Are you not finding the magic you want with a good tube preamp and SS amp? From the replies so far it seems like 1-ohm tolerant hybrids are very rare and expensive. Not to mention they are not the most well known brands. I have been burned by... | |
| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. I have finally found a use for "Stereophile" magazines. I place two stacks of four mags each on top of my modded Elite player. Definitely improves bass impact and definition and foucs/definition of vocals. Drums are more solid and an upright bass ... | |
| What is a 20 Amp circuit ? Moonguy, The Shunyata 20 amp power cords are 20 amp IEC connectors at the equipment end but they are only 15 amp type (configuration) at the wall receptacle.I can't speak for all brands of power cords but I did use one Virtual Dynamics and another... | |
| Anyone know anything about a new Rowland 312? Are the ICE modules in the 312 the ones with the B&O power supply? | |
| Which Show to Attend? Ohhh Nooo Richard, say it isn't so. I liked Alexis Park. It was so, so, well--funky. I enjoyed the relaxed, no-casino atmosphere and the sunshine and fresh air between rooms. And it was so convenient to wander between there and T.H.E. Show.Sure th... | |
| Which Show to Attend? Jig, I believe the HES you are referring to is really The Home Entertainment Show (aka T.H.E. Show).CES is kind of a three-part extravaganza--at least as far as audiophiles are concerned. The "Zoo" is at the Convention Center and adjacent hotels. ... | |
| Shunyata hydra 8 wich outlets with Tact amps? TDA, I have my TacT RCS 2.2X and three TacT amps all plugged into the digital outlets of a Hydra-8. Not sure that means much to you since I never tried the amps on the analog outlets.What I find strange is the number of users who like the Shunyata... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it JD, Thank you for bringing up the important point about IsoClean recommending replacement every 6 months or 7500 miles whichever comes first. OK, I embellished a little. I just finished doing the 6 month oil change on my car. I did not see that in... | |

| Comments on the Olive Opus CD Player I cannot answer your specific questions. I have not seen or heard the Olive Opus. However, I have the following on good authority from someone who has one.The case is gorgeous and the build is definitely audiophile quality. And, just like a box of... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? I received my Nespa Pro and Intron Protect 8500 yesterday. I am very pleased with the improvements I am getting. I have never been a CD tweaker since the first bottle of "magic" my dealer sold me 15 years ago. It was such a disappointment I never ... | |
| Wadia Durability Experience Questions Thank you for all of the valuable feed back. I am encouraged by Wadia product reliability. As I expected, the units needing repairs were older ones.Don | |
| Shunyata Hydra Users....Your Opinion please... I think you can find 20/15 amp adapters here. This is where I purchase item 1422($3). It is an adapter that allows me to plug standard electrical devices into a audio-type power cord for burn in. I think you will find the same device is $16 or mor... | |
| Power Cord Review Please do the Shunyata. Yours could be the definitive comparison and tell us if it is worth it or should be Shun(ned). Thanks. | |
| Best female vocals on CD Try Carrie Newcommer--The Age of Possibility or (her second best in my ears) My True Name. Good voice. Good but not great recordings. Great lyrics--they will grow on you. I can't stand a pretty voice with nothing to say. So phoooooey on impeccably... |
