| Akiko Minelli? Hello Louis, the Minelli is about the size of the brick. The cylinders containing the material are the same size as the regular Akiko Tuning Sticks, whereas the Corelli uses the cylinders from the Triple and also has the Akiko Synchro box (which a... | |
| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF One more thing. Unless you have a hell of a lot of money, don't spend $100 on a graphite outlet plate. Stainless steel plates that cost $5 at the hardware store are a much wiser use of funds. | |
| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF I've been using the GTX (R) and (G) for a while. I had all GTX outlets installed in the PS Audio P10 I just sold.It should be noted that plating metals play an important role in the profile of your sound; this is true with outlets, power connecto... | |
| How to cut sorbothane? Correction to my earlier post. I recommend Durometer 70. I don't know if you can buy it from McMaster (I bought mine directly from Sorbothane), but higher is better. If you were able to cut the other with a punch you may be able to do it with 7... | |
| How to cut sorbothane? I see a lot of misinformation here, some of it corrected. Sorbothane is designed to be compressed to a precise weight loading, which is directly correlated to its effectiveness (absorption coefficent); you have to use the Sorbothane calculator to ... | |
| A new Power Conditioner, from Akiko Audio! John, we agree on the importance of power to get great sound. I consider it 1/3 of the equation, equally as important as the room and system components. It’s also a very complex equation, like a puzzle where you can’t really see the pieces. I f... | |
| A new Power Conditioner, from Akiko Audio! John, I’m sorry the Triple AC Enhancer didn’t work for you. However, I tend to not offer any products that suck…it’s not good for business. I’m using two Triples in the Jaguar Reference System, along with a PS Audio P10, a Lamm phono preamp, a B... | |
| A New Comprehensive Turntable Setup Video The Notes Document that accompanies the video has just been uploaded to the Jaguar Blog Page. It's a PDF document with step-by-step instructions, to make it a little easier to get through the video without having to keep going over segments or ta... | |
| A New Comprehensive Turntable Setup Video Thanks for the appreciation everyone. Don't be shy about speaking up if you think I left something out, because I'm still composing the notes for the video.BCowen, I thought you were referring to burgers from someone's back yard, but then I notic... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? I find these $40 re-releases are often inferior to the original, which in many cases is $10. 40 year old master tapes can sound good, but often don't and I doubt Columbia, Warner, etc are sending the primo tapes to these companies making a run of... | |
| What spinning on your turntable today and how does it sound? Shelby Earl - Swift Arrowshttp://shelbyearl.bandcamp.com/album/swift-arrows150g vinyl. Fantastic manufacture and recording sound quality. One of the best sounding newer releases I've encountered in recent history. | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. With all due respect hiendmmoe, I strongly disagree. Cables costing $3,600 (or $1,500 for the cheap one) do not qualify as "Giant Killers" by any stretch of the imagination. Furthermore, silver-plated copper, cryo treated, with a carbon fiber s... | |
| Why Rhodium? I will add that Alex at Wywires has told me he believes that the wire used in the cable does make a big difference on whether you hear differences in plating. He says he doesn't hear much difference between the silver plated connector he normally ... | |
| Why Rhodium? I experimented a few years ago with two power cables with Acrolink 7N copper wire and one with Oyaide gold connectors and the other with Oyaide rhodium connectors (this was going from the wall to a PS Audio Power Plant Premier). The difference in ... | |
| Seattle, WA After the fantastic success of last year's "Live vs. Recorded" meeting we decided to make this an annual June event for the Audio Society. It's hard to beat the energy and excitement that goes along with a live performance and recording and playin... |
