| MIT Term 2 speaker cables...Am I nuts??? Gjrad descibes the MIT sound very well, they sound "warmer" because the treble region has less emphasis than other cables, somewhat recessed instead of forward sounding, but still detailed. This would be very different sounding than say Kimber 8TC... | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well CornFB because tube is 12" diameter under most CDP you will not see it. Because you control amount of inflation with hand pump any weight CDP can be accomadated. Put just enough air in tube so CDP feet are just cleared, tube will be very squished.... | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Any dept store that has small childrens bicycles will have 12" tubes for $6, you can also get hand air pump for $5, might as well get several tubes to experiment with.....sound effect is similar to vibrapods only better. | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well If you want rich/full/3D sound buy 12" bicycle innertube and partially inflate so tube compresses greatly but clears CDP feet when used under CDP. CDP should sway gently when touched. You can put sandbag on top of CDp to dampen chasis vibration. H... | |
| Hidden Audiophile Classics Yeast, I am a Rossini overture junkie, and have no doubt the Dutoit/Decca would be a fine collection. Almost every recording in the Dutoit/Decca line-up is of demonstration quality. I have the Dutoit CD of Suppe overtures which is quite good, the ... | |
| Creedence Clearwater Revival CDs Craig, I have the CCR "chronicle" 20 greatest hits which was a 1994 remaster, and I thought it sounded pretty good considering how old some of the original material was. CD does not say what remaster technology was used. | |
| Hidden Audiophile Classics Grumpy and Ohlala, for Hooverphonic I prefer "blue wonder power milk" same sound only better. By all means Dead Can Dance, but they are not hidden. Massive Attack "mezzanine" tour de force. Clan of Xymox "medusa" is indespensable. Cocteau Twins "v... | |
| MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps? TubeGroover I own several brands of ICs including older MIT 330 series ICs, my listening is they have smooth top end, and the treble region is de-emphasized compared to regular ICs, giving the treble a slightly recessed sound, the detail is there ... | |

| If you could remaster three cd's... Speaking of U2, Joshua Tree CD has amazingly poor sound quality for a 1987 CD. U2 "best of 1980-1990" has remastered versions of best songs from "joshua tree" that is an improvement buy still not great. Now that I think about it, we need to remast... | |
| Anyone heard the Shunyata Hydra yet?(nt) Galen Carol has review at his site, http://www.gcaudio.com/gcafeature.html, he is extremely positive on this product but he also sells it so that is to be expected. I want to know how many outlets unit has and will Hydra/Sidewinder sound the same ... | |
| MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps? Just to clear up some confusion the MIT cables sold by Audio Advisor are older models that are not matched cables. New "terminator" series are not matched cables. New "high end" and "reference" series speaker cables have output matched interfaces ... | |
| Best new amp under $2k? It really depends on your other equipment which one will work for you. Sam Tellig did a good job of expalining the differences, while he prefers the Musical Fidelity A3CR amp, he explains why others may like the McCormack DNA 125 or Belles Hot Rod... | |
| MIT Tube Cables and Solid State Amps? In the past various MIT speaker cable designs were made to work with both SS and tube. Newest designs however are "specifically" designed in two models, one for SS and one for tube. I agree with MIT advice and do not use for other than equipment i... |
