| Alternatives to Stillpoints OP: After installing the S.A. Rollerblocks under the component, allow some time for your hearing to adjust to the new sound. Later, try stacking the Rollerblocks on top of the EVA Anti-Vibration pads. The sound will be subtly different. Much depe... | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints " . . . they did change the timbre and tonality for good."That’s the goal. I use these in a custom DIY design. I also have 3 sets of Symposium Rollerblocks 2+ and several Symposium Svelte shelves and Symposium Point Pods that are in use. | |
| Fuse upgrade from factory..... nonoise. . . I tried out three different fuses that I had laying around on my Kinki EX-M1 integrated. They all sounded different. Coincidentally, I recently did the same thing with my Class A SS amp. I have the stock glass fuse, a SR Black and a S... | |
| Need help with two subs and external crossover.... I use this Dayton Audio SA1000 to drive & integrate my two subs. 18-80Hz with EQ. | |
| Know about PranaFidelity? +1 markmike I heard the Fifty90’s at an audio show. Rich, full-bodied, organic sound - slightly on the warm side. Not analytical. There are toggle switches on the back for contouring the sound. You can set & forget them - or tweak them to your... | |
| Where to find a quality power supply for the router? I bought this one for my router. Huge improvement in SQ. Extremely well built. I liked it so much, I bought a 2nd one for my Empirical Audio Off-Ramp 5. If you’re willing to spend a little more, this one is even better. Be sure to use a good power... | |

| Corelli - really???? My latest Corelli discovery. My home desktop computer is in another room - definitely on a different circuit than my audio rig. The computer is on 24/7 – along with the printer, powered speakers & assorted accessories. All the devices are plu... | |
| tube noise - 2 questions @ebm I compliment you on adding punctuation to your posts. It’s an improvement. Spelling will be your next great challenge. Perhaps in time, your posts will actually be helpful or informative. | |
| tube noise - 2 questions @atmasphere It worked! I tapped the noisy NOS tube with a pencil. The intemittent crackling is gone - so far. Thx for the inexpensive, low-tech solution. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio " . . . that’s also why I also use DSP to tame room modes . . . "@mzkmxcv By introducing DSP circuitry from a different manufacturer that is entirely designed to alter the signal created by the source component, your argument for measurements i... | |
| Advice on new PC strictly for audio Take a look at one of these dedicated servers - Small Green Computer. | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? I own a Class A solid state amp - and owned Class A tube monoblocks. Love them both! But, they don’t cure brightness. Highly recommend a pair of subs - and room treatments. Just for grins - temporarily hang a large beach towel or afghan - centered... |
