| Thick 2" maple amp platform--couple or isolate? George, my local wood crafting supply store in Austin (Wood Crafter (512-407-8787) sells Baltic Birch plywood sheets 3/4 inch thick for $35. A single sheet can be cut into 6 tiles measuring 20 x 30 inches. All of them can then be sandwiched togeth... | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? Bang on Stanhifi. . . SACD format is dying slowly. . . and so are you, and I, . . . and the Sun! A wake for the Sun is planned 4 Billion years from today. . . . at least there is a verifiable prediction on it. SACD may not last til then, but it ma... | |
| Thick 2" maple amp platform--couple or isolate? George, no I have not heard anyone constructing stands with heterogeneous materials sandwiches. Here are a couple of related ideas for composite platforms:1. Timbernation offers already some nice stands made from a triple layer of 1 inch thick map... | |
| What's the best CD and/or multiplayer today Paolo, the Bartok concertos are on a Teldec CD (0630-16158-2). I have not compared X-01 and P70/D70 directly, but have heard them on different systems.

| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? Amperidian, good point about settling in. The Epiphany had been on the system for a few months, while our application of the Python lasted 3 hrs from start to end. In spite of the disfavorable test conditions I do prefer the Python Helix to the Ep... | |

I would like to add some more comments about the perceived sound staging differences between Epiphany and Python Helix VX.CMO Babybear and I agreed that the stage of Electraglide was huge and layered in the three dimensions. It appear to start per... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Deshapiro, if you think X-01 was good, wait until it passes the 450 hrs of break in mark. At 300 hours mine still showed some etched treble on several of my recordings, e.g. Trevor Pinnock playing J. S. Bach Partitas on cembalo [Archiv 451-493-2].... | |
| Power Cord Flavors I have just posted a mini review discussing sonic differences caused by Epiphany and Shunyata Python Helix VX on an Esoteric X-01. See:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1126432063&openmine&zzGuidocorona&4&5#Guidocor... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? I have just posted a mini review outlining sonic differences on Esoteric X-01 when powered alternatively by Epiphany and Shunyata helix Python VX. See:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1126432063&openmine&zzGuidocorona&... | |
