| What's the weak link in my system? Did you remove the power conditioning? If so, what were the results? If not, why? | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions Wall rack all the way. I built a custom one that extends farther out into room, cut the back of my stereo cabinet out and the turntable looks like it is on a cabinet shelf but it is actually just above it. See my system page for a picture. | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? I love my ProAc Studio 148 floor standers, which were just over $3000 and use the same tweeter as the Response line. Too bad they stopped making them. ProAc Studio 140 mkI are the same speaker without the phase plug. | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. I had Tekton 6.5t monitors (like totems) on rigid yet minimal sound organization Linn stands in front of audio refinement separates and a modified rega RP6. I liked them better than Fritz carbon monitors and Ascend Sierra Towers. They imaged well ... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Did you try eliminating the power conditioner from the system? | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Every power conditioner I've tried has killed dynamics and openness in my system except the Emotiva CMX-2 DC Blocker and Filter. I've tried Furman, PS Audio, UPS units and a DYI one. The CMX- blocks most of the DC on my line and all of my sources ... | |
| Furukawa power cables Try the Signal Cable MagicPower cables for less than $100 shipped and made in the USA. I love mine on all my source components and preamps. | |

| Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor I really like the Signal Cable MagicPower cables. Great price and you can return it within 30 days for a personal trial... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! @gdhal, glad the CMX-2 worked for you also. I’ve tried furman, a custom made DC blocker, PS Audio humbuster and upc-200, plus others. PS Audio helped cut the DC hum but all killed dynamics except the CMX-2. | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! I've fought DC transformer hum since I've moved into my house 7 years ago with 3 different preamps and multiple conditioners / filters. The only one that I found to help the DC situation without killing system dynamics is the Emotiva CMX-2 DC Bloc... | |
| We've owned B&W speakers since late 80's @oldtonew2112, how did you do with the insurance company and the payout on the incident? It seems like there was just a thread discussing whether we need additional coverage for media and equipment or should our general homeowners policy cover eve... | |
| Which amplifier (integrated) would you recommend for Monitor Audio PL speakers I have the following for sale with many great reviews. Audio Refinement / YBA gear has that warm yet defined sound you are looking for:http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649335001-seattle-audio-refinement-complete-system-tekton-65t-lin...Will sell... | |
| Line Conditioner - Small (3 outlets or less) @mjmch2003, no real sonic improvements as I have good stuff upstream (see system details). It did help eliminate DC coming in from the power company's main line. | |
| Line Conditioner - Small (3 outlets or less) I really like the Emotiva CMX-2 DC Blocker and Line Filter that I use. First DC blocker that didn't hurt dynamics in my system and helped removed DC from my mains line. Nice price also... |
