Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid.
I'll second the very quiet noise floor of the Veloce Lithio series II, battery powered....loved it.  Liked it better than my VAC that preceded it.Now using VTL 6.5, v2 and loving it.Are you using mostly single ended, or balanced? Need HT bypass, o...

Frank; thanks so much for the kind words about my system; I owe you a debt of gratitude, for turning me onto both the SR Black fuses, TC, and the Emats...all three tweaks have greatly improved my system. I am now just listening to wonderful music!...

Tim recommended to me to place label side up, under the component. I listened both ways, thought the differences were minimal.like fuses,and directionality, not sure I can discern the difference...try and enjoy, easy enough to switch over.bob

Yes, to both questions above...but with TV, not sure which has done more, the mat in the box, or under the Directv box, or both...B

I wish to report my further experience with the E-mats. I sent my check into Tim for mats and CE. I know have 6 mats installed:1 in breaker box, one between my two power conditioners, one under amp, preamp, DAC, one between Network Bridge and Roon... 
dCS Rossini vs. Berkeley Reference dac 2
dCS settings can be very confusing and complex....especially when using dual AES to get hi res from NB and DSD. My dealer has been great for the few times I've managed to screw things up, often a simple phone call with instructions has me back lis...

I too made the decision to  go with Vivaldi v2.02 DAC, with Network Bridge, and full loom of Transparent Gen 5 ref digital and analog, and speaker cables, with Roon Nucleus + and dedicated NAS, thru a Veloce battery powered tube pre, since its use...

I have some HFC MC-05’s and the eMatts, the Matt’s in my system were a better value, and returned much greater sonic improvement. I will be selling my HFC cables and stuff, I feel Tim’s products outperform, over deliver and increase my enjoyment b...

I have had my matts in place now for just one week, and can also independently verify the positive claims of multiple prior users: my sound stage, micro dynamics, bass, floor noise, and most importantly, my musical enjoyment, and willingness to si...

Let me chime in on this thread....I have no vested interest, I am not a troll, but let me share my personal observations from listening to Frank's system evolve over the past two years.I started going to Frank's place around 2 years ago, when he s... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Brief Update: Frank invited me back to his home for another listening session, as he has continued to paste everything in his home, like crazy. I was initially skeptical that I would notice further improvement, but I was wrong...his noise floor is... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Frank was kind enough to  invite me back to his house for a brief listening session; its been a while since my last visit, and as has been described, Frank has been busy pasting everything in his rig. When I first sat in his listening chair, and e... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I have treated just my IC's and speaker cables, with Frank's help around one month ago. I have not yet pasted my power cords.I think all of these tweaks are beneficial to certain degrees. My system was pretty resolving, but now that this tweak has... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Its time for me to report my experience of having TC applied to my inter-connects and speaker cables, Frank himself was gracious enough to come over and assist with the project.We used paper towels, to keep my coffee table clean, we got some graph...
