| 6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times Rx8man,The closest I have seen "with unbiased, to-the-point reviews" are Stereo Times reviews. The way I see it, The Absolute Sound reviews are thinly disguised advertisements; 6Moons.com reviews are ads; and Stereophile reviews often get caught u... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Radioheadokplayer,I have not heard of anyone selling them when they moved abroad. I have no idea why moving abroad would change the sound. I live abroad and have a full HiDiamond loom. The HiDiamonds have been replacing my Synergistic Research cab... | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research My system has further evolved since my earlier posts. I have recently added a Bybee Stealth, an isolation transformer and a power regenerator -- all up front.While the SR Powercell sounded good on its own when I purchased it two years ago things h... | |
| Possibly controversial: Totem arro overrated? Slikric3000 and Aenergi,I an inclined not to comment, as well. Unbelievable imagining? I think not. That reads like ad copy. I used to own the Rainmakers and have auditioned the Arros many times. They are a nice little Totem speaker -- with emphas... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Viridian,I stand corrected. It's puffing copy. | |
| Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show? Hifial,I am running my HiDiamond cables with the Galileo speaker cells. Everything sounds great -- really great -- but since my system is so refined and resolving I am going to try to get away with selling off the speaker cells to finance cable an... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Bacardi,You could call Robert Neill at Worldwide Wholesales to see if they do custom work. But there is an easy way around that. You can patch in the Power 3 to the cord leading from the Powercell by using a burn-in adapter. That's what I do when ... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Viridian,You hit the old proverbial nail on the old proverbial head. It's like all the talk about "blacker than black" backgrounds -- the subject of a recent thread of mine. It's all ad copy. | |
| How Black is Your Background? Gbmcleod,Of course, black refers to the quality of silence but ain't it odd that there are so many ways to describe that silence? Black is black. Silence is silence. You cannot have something that is more silent than silent. The fact that a whole ... | |
| 6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times Podeschi,Absolutely 100% correct. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Ldworet,The Bybee GG SE Speaker Bullets took the system to a whole new level of refinement. The SR Powercell did some of that but on a much more modest level.I have the Symphony Pro -- the precursor to the QX products from Nordost. Nothing dramati... | |
| 6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times Podeschi,Here's another example of the same component reviewed by both 6Moons.com and Stereo Times.6Moons.com reviewhttp://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/synergistic/powercell.htmlStereo Times review:http://www.stereotimes.com/acc012811.shtmlThe Ster... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Maril555,There are two issues here. There are those who say, if people can afford these overpriced items it's up to them. Of course it is. But I agree with you -- for most people, many of these items are crazily overpriced with the cost reflecting... | |
| Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth Yoby,I kept my Powercell and now run it in series with other front end components. | |
| 6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times Let's compare a 6Moons.com review with a Stereo Times review of the same products to get a feeling for what I am getting at here. These examples are typical, in my opinion.The products in question are the Nordost Quantum line. They were reviewed b... |
