| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Cbw723, I really hadn't thought about the specifics of how to set up a more "revealing" shoot-out. Your suggestion makes complete sense to me. The people who know each player well could bring it to the shoot-out already tuned. This would be far be... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Cbw723, I agree that the presence of one of the makers at the shoot-out compromised the test. At least one of those present was not blind. Subconscious influence cannot be underestimated in such a situation. I also feel that a greater variety of C... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Pubul57, I think your comments were directed at my posting, if I am not mistaken. I was not talking about a "100% perfect decision". I was talking about a well-informed decision. There is no such thing as perfection as we all know. And there is no... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Rgs92, with my SR PowerCell 10SE connected my system is rocking and rolling. The Gabriel Gold cables are working very well for me. I am tweaking a lot now. Before I installed the PowerCell I was trying out the Oyaide INS-CF Isolation Devices. They... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Audiofeil, you need to work on your sense of humor. Fplanner, Mrtennis,Sebrof, et al. I was fortunate to pick up a mint EMM CDSA SE recently at a 50% discount. Even at the price I paid it was over the top for me but I went for it because I didn't ... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Are Gabriel Gold cables really this good? They certainly are -- in spades. I just installed a Synergistic Research PowerCell 10SE power conditioner with Galileo MPC in my system. I have mostly Gabriel Gold cables in my system -- ICs, PC and SCs. T... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players When I commented earlier about missing "variables" in the shoot-out I am now able to expand on what I was talking about. I have the 1-box EMM CDSA SE. Without a power conditioner it is very resolving with excellent dynamics but the sound stage is ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Tvad, it just goes to show you how we all have to take the measure of things in each of our systems. Sharing this information is extremely valuable but YMMV with each element added. I will not put a number on the EVS and the MiGs. I give them both... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I just got my PowerCell 10SE and will connect it tomorrow when my electrician arrives to install a 20-amp dedicated line from the power pole directly into my music room. In the meantime I have installed MiGs under my step-down transformer, CDP and... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Flashunlock, you have a lot more experience in the cable department than I do. I would very much appreciate if you could give me your opinion about 2 ICs. I am using the GG Reflection ICs (XLR) from my Marantz PM-15 to EMM. Do you think the SR Aco... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Flashunlock, 100 hours for the fuse to break in? I had no idea. So it gets even better. Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the tip about turning the fuse around. I'll try it. And thanks for the tip about how to connect the cables to the... | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr Lolligager, very well put. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Sutts, I second that emotion. I am using the GG Reflection PC, SCs and ICs, as well as other non-GG cabling. Also, changing the stock EMM fuse to the Furutech T2A (green) has made a big improvement but adding EVS Ground Enhancers and Synergistic R... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Flashunlock, the Furutech T2A green fuse is now installed in my EMM and I must say the improved clarity is quite amazing right off the bat even with no power conditioner at the moment. Thank you for the hot tip. I have disposed of my old power con... | |
| Vibration control devices for EMM CDSA. I have a silk cushion under mine. It works nicely. I will be getting SR MiGs soon that will replace the cushion and I'll let you know how they work out. I am also using 4 Totem beaks on top -- one near each corner -- with very good results. |
