| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF IME, the WPC-Z wall mount system is not just an accessory but an essential building block to allow the Oyaide, or other outlets, to perform to their maximum potential and worth every penny for the ROI delivered. An additional item I would like to ... | |
| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF Being a long time Oyaide user/advocate, I could shed a bit of light on the R1 vs. R0 outlets. The R1 is one of the most refined outlets available with excellent octave to octave balance along with an excellent delineated soundstage. However, it is... | |
| Greatest song titles.. astro58go, "Waiter, There's A Yawn In My Ear""Singing The Dolphin Through" That would be from The Roaring Silence album by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Roaring_Silence | |
| Symposium's Classic Damping Insert Kit for VPI turntables Got the inserts last week for my Scout, which has upgraded HRX footers, and can say that they do everything Symposium claims and more. Dynamic contrasts are more pronounced with increased instrument delineanation.I urge all VPI owners to consider ... | |
| Anyone compare Furutech’s GTX–D NCF to the Synergistic Research UEF with Graphene duplex? I would highly recommend the Oyaide R0 outlet mounted in the Oyaide WPC-Z wall plate. The R0 is an unplated version of the R1 and as such sounds more neutral. Oyaide also offers an unplated P004 male plug now as well. I just got a unplated version... | |
| Anybody else using a distributed array sub system? In my main rig I have the speakers/listening position setup on an angle with a REL Stadium lll cabinet/driver in the front corner and a REL Strata lll cabinet/driver in the opposite rear corner. The Stadium lll amp/controller has been removed from... | |
| Your single favorite component I have had many an excellent component and/or speakers over the years but I would have to say the Platinum Power PP-1 high current balanced power conditioners I use in both the main rig and the HT are indispensable in providing ultra clean/solid b... | |
| Phono cartridge Goldilocks I have a Kleos on a JMW-9 signature tone arm and an Audio Technical AT150ANV on another JMW-9 signature tone arm and the AT is much more liquid than the Kleos and it tracks much better as well, especially the inner groove. The AT is one of the bes... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's I have the Atmosphere mini hooked up and the unit has been on for 24 hrs and I have to report that the results are pretty impressive to say the least and I haven't even installed the HFT's yet!! I have my system setup as a semi nearfield listenin... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's folkfreak, " As it happens the Atmosphere does not replace the FEQ, you can and should use both. See the discussion here on how to set up (scroll down and ignore the haters)"Thanks for the link. When I first installed the FEQ in the main rig, I h... | |
| Question for BPT owners.... I have two Platinum Power PP-1 high current balanced power conditioners and have never had a problem and I live in NM which has brief daily thunderstorms starting this time of year. I know my PP-1's have in-rush current protection that does just t... | |
| Music tracks for tweaking Any track off of Steely Dan Two Against Nature. There is everything from holographic layered soundstages such as Janie Runway to the extremely deep bass drum on What a Shame About Me and Negative Girl. My favorite is Jack of Speed though, the bass... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Glad to hear of the excellent results you're getting with the HFT's. I will be exploring them myself here shortly as I picked up a package deal from the Newport show which consists of an Atmosphere mini, a 5 pack of the original HFT's, a 5 pack of... | |
| THE SHOW AT NEWPORT BEACH 2016 Just got into town and checked in to the Courtyard. Been up 24 hrs but heading over shortly to join the fun. This is my first Newport Beach show and am looking forward to the experience 😎 | |
| Thoughts on balanced power I've been using balanced power for over 15 years now with my first unit being a Cine-Pro power pro 10 which was really a Furman just rebadged as Cine-Pro. It was a major step up from what I had been using which was an Adcom ACE-15. Much improved b... |
