| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE Check out this review on the Gutwire grounding approach. They don't think boxes are the answer since they eventually become saturated and have to be disconnected every few months and "shaken" to clean them out. Their approach is to drain the groun... | |
| Help I haven't seen those in a long, long time. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I thought I'd never post this but after almost two years after installing HiFi Silver Tuning fuses in my amp and SACD player, I thought I'd try out reversing the fuses in my SACD player. I was never in the camp of "correct orientation" of fuses bu... | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). Sunnyjim,I haven't heard the Von Schweikert Vr-22 but at that price, I'd give them a listen. At the same price, you can add the Clearwave Duet 6 monitors as well. I have them and am quite fond of them. All I can say is to listen to as many as you ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I know that YouTube is not the last word in high fidelity but sometimes you can glean the potential of something just buy listening, source not withstanding.Having said that, there is a nice video of the Double Impact playing and if you have reaso... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks pawsman,That quelled any worries my fevered brain might have conjured. My only caveat is the lightness you describe to the lower mids and bass but that's probably due to room size. My 10' x 15' apartment living room does all I need to reinf... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks to all who responded. I just got off the phone with Eric and he almost sold me on them. He even mentioned you, pawsman, as being very impressed on how they compared to your $45K speakers. On an aside, I favorably commented on his use of the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts With all the exposure here with Tekton, has anyone heard their Impact Monitor? I miss the air and extension my old Tonians had with their ribbon tweeter. Any comments would be appreciated.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). SuunyJim, I can't recall if I've ever been told I'm outstanding so I'll wear it as long as I can. 😜On an aside, I checked out the price and noticed that it's gone up about $1K so that puts it close to the limits you placed. Anyway, Elliot is great... | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). Another speaker you should consider is the Prana Fifty90. It is right in the middle, price wise, and every time I"ve heard it, the sound just pulled me in. If you're in the L,A, area, Elliot Midwood over at Acoustic Image lists them on his site. E... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy Hey Jim, I'm gonna chine in with my usual recommendation of Zu Event MK 1 speaker cables. They've been superseded by the Mk 2 but if you can find a used pair, it would be worth your while. I say this as since I've swapped out the spades for banana... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Just as an aside, and not meant to cause a flame up, being so hard and fast with how class D has to progress in certain areas in order to be considered decent doesn’t make much sense. The only class D set up that I’ve listened to for more than 30 ... | |
| Coherent Speakers from Canada They kind of remind of one of the WLM speakers, a monitor I believe.Having just wood baffles with no dampening also reminds me of Ocellia speakers. It's a proven recipe and it takes a certain chef to get it just right. I hope you're rewarded with... | |
| Fastest way to correct hifi system? There's no one size fits all within price points as all systems will sound different even in the same price points. You wouldn't buy a car that way, would you? It would be like a rising rap star buying Dom Perignon because rich people drink it (... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone To a lot of folk, nothing beats paper (except scissors). There is, however, no one type that will suit all. It's all in the implementation. Take Vivid, for example: all aluminum drivers made in-house with carbon fibre surrounds and it's some of th... |
