| Bass traps - too many choices!! I have never found wood or metal cables risers worth a damn. Wood is a fair dielectric and at least in my second floor listening room static electricity is the threat. The best are porcelain and glazed isolators. | |
| what is the problem with too much tracking force? With modern elliptical diamonds that can respond to high frequencies, it is imperative that the diamond can follow the groove into the tightest cut. To do this properly you need an USB microscope as in Fremer's guide.I always track as lightly as p... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Remember that $10,000 in m1960 would buy over $80,000 today. But I do think casual listening is the order today. Any thing more is difficult to do everywhere with much fidelity and perhaps the distortion of modern music doesn't encourage fidelity.... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? This thread is beginning to sound like Outside. I am now 77 with hearing of a 35 year old, some forgetfulness, and the best damn sound I've ever had, basically well beyond anything I thought possible. I think all dealers of anything other than gro... | |
| No mention of Audio Research in Absolute Sound There was a time when ARC's SP-3 and Dual 75s were clearly the best there was. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I got SR Blacks after I had experienced the benefits of High Fidelity cables and power cords as well as the new H-Cat X-10 MkIII amp with zero distortion. Together they gave me the most realistic sound stage I had ever heard. Then I added the SR B... | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? I started ac conditioning with a monster government military surplus 300 pound transformer. It helped but was noisy. Since then I have had over twenty devices, some worked a little, some did nothing, some had liabilities, some were beautiful, some... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Guys, I have been spending most of my time doing a HFC Pro review. I agree with what has been said about recovery of the system after no use. I should note that I find it very difficult to compare HFC cables with other cables as the effect of syst... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist I have known perhaps ten over the years, but only one now. For a long time my daughter was one, but having three kids killed that exercise. Some of these women have had exceptional ears, but overall, I haven't found them much better than male frie... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? bacardi, the HFCs have thousands of magnets in them with each new series having many more. These are rare earth magnets and are expensive. Also assembly of these cords is labor intensive. I once asked Rick Schultz whether there was a point where t... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? bacardi, if your brother is in Sydney, he did well. It is a totally humane city. I would move there in a flash were I to not have a wife, kids, and grandkids in the USA.Also if you think HFC's Ultra are expensive check out the Pros. Are they worth... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? audiolabyrinth, I actually hate to review power cords. One has to spend much time letting them settle down or breakin and certainly one never wants to make the judgment that A is better than B, as it is really only my opinion, B is going to be mad... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? bacardi, where are you? Please, if you are ever in Houston come on up. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I have long been an audiophile and remember the first audiophile power cord I ever heard of, Duntech. I had to modify a power amp with an attached power cord so that I could use it. Now we are faced with countless pcs. I have probably tried thirty... | |
| Synergistic Research Black fuese I never tried the SR Red fuses but still had their Quantum fuses in most of my equipment. I just got some of their Black fuses and will say they are exceptional and clearly better than the Quantums. They only have about thirty hours on them and SR... |
