| Opinions on Silver Audio Hyacinths? Kenny makes good point, SA Hyacinth provide GREAT performance/value ratio, it is slightly better than silver bullet 4 from SA.....and yes SA Appasionata is a step up, but you must pay up for SOTA performance..... Rosstaman has nailed the HT PS II ... | |
| Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase? SDcampbell, I am one of those who posted the "warning" in AudioReview about buying Monster HTS 3500 thinking it is even better than HTS 2000......I immediately noticed drop in overall sound quality, returned item immediately for HTS 2000 and Robt ... | |
| Opinions on Silver Audio Hyacinths? I own SA Hyacinths and HT Pro-Silway II, both excellent and do not have the typical brightness that say Kimber silver has......if cost were no object I slightly prefer HT PS II, but it costs much more. I am using Musical Fidelity CDP, preamp and m... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Mike, why did you replace Rosinante with granite, was this your idea or did Visitek recommend this as surface for Aurios MIB? I thought you were happy with Rosinante, please fill us in......Sam | |
| Best CD/DVD cleaners & tweaks? Auric Illuminator is 2 step tweak........first black opaque pen used to blacken inner/outer edges of CD, 2nd blue gel is applied to both sides and buffed off......the claimed total effect is improved read of CD data for various reasons, and thus i... | |
| Best CD/DVD cleaners & tweaks? I have tried a couple of CD treatments, using duplicate CDs to test effectiveness, and Auric Illuminator is my choice. First let me say I am very reluctant to apply any treatment to my CDs, if you have been around for long enough you know the hist... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Marlec, KC2 is a fat heavy snake! You will have to be creative and maybe move CDP to lower shelf and use hanging support straps, or create some support arms that extend from rack......experiment and be creative, results are worthwile, BTW sounds l... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Marlec, congrats on your discovery, rollerblocks do not have to have perfectly level surface, but both Aurios MIB and Symposium Rollerblocks to freely float CDP, must have cable weight/forces nuetralized so as not to impede CDP. Short ICs are usua... | |

| Up & Over Sampling... Continued Craig, thanks for post, hate to keep beating this horse, but both methods acheive same result, but the "PROCESS" is different, as KH from Muse above states. Some people claim the different process results in different sound.......the August issue ... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices My rollerblocks arrived finally, and I put them to the test. Beautiful looking precision pieces, I got the tungsten bearing upgrade and used the drop of teflon/silicon oil tweak. I used them on a Symposium Platform Shelf under a Musical Fidelity C... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Ejlif interesting choices, 99.9% of people here don't know who Coil is (or Pink Dots) But since I hung out at Wax Trax in Chicago, the industrial music center of the USA, I had some Coil records and LPD | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling? Kleiman couple/decouple is in reference to shelf/rack in which your component is kept. Hard cones couple your compenent to shelf/platform, and should drain vibration away from unit, many cones have "tuning" pads of various materials to absorb vibr... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Again I advise reading August HFNRR, which describes the two techniques, although they can acheive the same end result, the "process" is different......read and find out the differences, they claim they can hear the difference | |
