Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
China's companies over the years have done a lot of manufacturing "off the books" meaning the item may be made on the same line as the legit product but simply is not shown in the accouting sent to the company requesting the work. Its very easy fo...

I recently put E-Cards between the power cord plugs at the wall outlet and on my power conditioner. I also tacked one to the top of the input connection on my Ethernet cable that feeds my music server.  Really easy to do and heard an immediate imp...

Yeah, I get it. Thanks for the cordial responses. I agree, this is not the right thread other than to say don't dismiss products like Tim's out-of-hand there is a lot we still don't know going on especially at the quantum level.

I’ve been messing around with magnets in my system for the last six months or so which you can read about on my system page. I’ve now added Tim’s products as well. Tim indicates they have nothing to do with magnetism but they certainly work as a...

My vote is for the FEQ, but you probably knew that already.

Just thought I'd mention there is a used FEQ listed right now for $499.  Here's the link:  https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9ag3h-synergistic-research-feq-frequency-equalizer-tweaks

Thanks for sharing about your mom, David. That generation would listen to tubed radio broadcasts and 78s. When CDs first came out my father-in-law hated them because they didn't sound natural, took me years to realize he was right!

millercarbon - "I would love to have an even greater sense of envelopment".  Let me suggest you try a FEQ or Atmosphere with your current HFTs. They pop-up used every so often - a used FEQ goes for about $500.

I use a bunch of SR products and recently Total Contact and E Cards. If you use HFTs you really should consider a FEQ or Atmosphere.  Really kind of amazing how they can transform a room. My order for purchasing would be ECTs, E-Cards, HFTs, FEQ (...

I finally got a couple sets of E-Cards and some Total Contact.  I’ve had things settling in for about 4 weeks or so. Did a lot of listening over the holidays and really like the sound I’m getting.  I’ve even made some fairly significant changes to... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
Well said hifidream and exactly right.  
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
Go listen to some live acoustic music at your local high school, community college, college, church or your friend’s house down the street - “free of charge” usually - so no excuses 😀 If you think holographic imaging doesn’t matter then appparentl... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
Tone is first but then as you move up the food chain a “holographic” soundstage is a must.  If it sounds flat or one dimensional then there is definitely a short coming in your system.  Live music is not like a row of paper cutouts.  There is dept...

The Impact Monitors really are amazing. Well deserved!
