| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Sean, thanks for the tip, I already ordered Bedini II from Elusive Disc $150,close to where I now live, Cincinnati. BTW I lived in Chicago from 1979-91 in Lincoln Park, by Fullerton & Clark St, wish I was still there.....but things change. I h... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Dtsag,Carl I am pretty much a believer now, as this weekend I played 10-15 CDs I am very familiar with in the rock/alt category, I have treated them with Auric Illuminator because they had the familiar treble grain/glare common with mediocre recor... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Shayner, tweak items are very interesting because many times the exact scientific reason why they effect the sound is not fully understood. April/2000 issue of Stereophile page 193, Robt Duetsch tries Furutech unit and claims he hears improvement ... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Carl, do you find Bedini must be used every time CD is played, to get max benefit? Which Cds benefit most from clarifacation, and what areas of sound are enhanced? I must say Bedini II at $150 is easier to swallow, regards Sam | |
| CD mats, any good ones? I was able to buy used Marigo CrossBow mat from Cable Co., I will test next week and report if it is an improvement or just another "coaster" to place drinks on. From various tweak sites this mat gets most recommendations, but I am concerned that ... | |
| CD mats, any good ones? Ykchu, where did you buy your mat, and could describe the improvements you hear? Any negatives? Most high end CD manf will tell you there is no need for mat.....but what would you expect from them......George my local radio shack has heavy duty bu... | |
| CD mats, any good ones? George, I have to laugh when I see that add for UFO, I suppose it does similar thing to Bedini Clarifier, I've read that Radio Shack bulk tape eraser accomplishes de-gaussing for reasonable cost, perhaps I should look into this.....regards Sam | |
| M/F A3 Int. Amp. What are you running... I own several MF amps, including A3, if you read Sam Tellig Stereophile review of A300, you know it sounds beautiful with any system. You can improve sound significantly by tossing generic power cord and replacing with inexpensive aftermarket cord... | |
| Bi-amping versus Mono-blocks Willi, I would also point out my experience with my MF amps is the monoblock set-up produces a better 3D soundstage, deeper, wider etc. I also like the fact that it eliminates one pair of interconnects from the sound path, compared to two stereo a... | |
| Pros/Cons of Same Length Speaker Cables? I must qualify above post by saying it all applies if you have good equipment and cables......if we are talking about Monster Cables and generic receiver then that is another story and you will probably notice no difference.... | |
| Power Cord Advice Rick next time you see used Harmonic Tech Pro-AC11 power cord here for $125, buy one and use on CD player first, because it is the most sensitive to change of cord it will show biggest improvement, of course it must have removeable cord. Pre-amp a... | |
| Pros/Cons of Same Length Speaker Cables? Absolutely cables should be same length, would you drive your car with different size tires? Cable designers spend much time with cable conductor design,winding to preserve time allignment of music signal! I must disagree with Hiwaves....the short... | |
| Help with a budget second system I assume you mean $2000 new retail price, here goes.....CD player, Rotel RCD 951 $500....Integrated Amp, Roksan Kandy $800....Speakers, B&W DM602 $500....Analysis Plus Oval 12 speaker cable 8ft pair $150....Interconnect, Harmonic Tech Precisio... | |
| Bi-amping versus Mono-blocks Willi, I have experimented in this area, let me first say I am not an expert, but just a curious audiophile. I own 2 Musical Fidelity X-AS100 amps, 100w each, they have mono/stereo switch and input/output RCA connectors, this alllows for very flex... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! Albert have you heard the story that when Phillips NV was deciding what size to make Cds, Karajan told them it should be big enough to hold entire performance of beethoven 9th uninterrupted, so that is how they came up with current size disc......... |
