| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tvad, I know how you feel, and you should know that I do not feel "established engineering principles" are adequate. The Halcyonic people did try something new and it works. It is not just a rehash of the old spring ideas. I don't respect your hol... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tvad, as we know from previous exchanges, I proceed by trying things and you persist with a theory of what works. I respect your process even though I have no confidence in it, as I have tried it in the past and found it lacking. I merely ask that... | |
| How do you clean tube pins? Markphd, I have found that rotating RCAs slightly each night and doing clockwise on even days and counter clockwise on odd days does wonders. I often forget, however. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Nor I you, but at least now you don't think I am blithely ignoring room interactions. I think also that you grossly underestimate the Halcyonics for whatever reason. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tvad, you are correct in seeing no diffusers (professional or otherwise), tube traps, defectors, Room Lens, Helmhost resonators, or absorbing foam for a LEDE room. They have all come and gone as did digital equalization. One pair of the Hallograph... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Nowhere near the magnitude of the Halcyonic even using the best treatments I have found, the Acoustic Revive QR-8s. But I agree that room treatments, if not overdone, which is all too common, can improve your imaging. I also don't know about doing... | |
| How do you clean tube pins? Mrjstark, I don't think you want to go so far as to say there is no benefit from cleaning gold pinned tubes. Most plating is ultra thin and I have seen dirty quetips using cleaner on gold pins. Also pipe cleaners, I have found, work better than co... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Jazdoc, I fully expect you would hear a great improvement. I had my Shindo Labs on an Acapella Silencio base with the special feet I bought for the Shindo. The base was on a Mana Reference rack. It was already well isolated, I thought. I am on a s... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Wonnjun, I inadvertently got my turntable vibrating back and forth yesterday and the Halcyonics sought to dampen the movement. I have notices that women's voices, at least in my system, excite its correction more than men's, which makes your new i... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Lewm, I have an experimental psychologist friend who did buy one of their larger units for his lab. You can google halcyoniics.de if Audiogon doesn't allow my thread. http://www.halcyonics.de/en/index.phpI think its not having a resonant frequency... | |
| How do you clean tube pins? Donaudio, pipe cleaners especially with Audio Top cleaner. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Rhyno, how dearly I wish any of the air spring devices I have tried approached the active Halcyonic device. I do totally agree that too many totally ignore micro-vibrations and crap on their ac line. With the Halcyonics under my Shindo Labs, I dou... | |
| toddler/kid proof speaker stands You could always anchor them to the ceiling. I scared the hell out of my son when he first touched mine. He never did it again. | |
| How do you clean tube pins? Take a normal pencil. Drill a small hole in the end centered. Fit tube pin into drilled hole and rotate. If you need to get SST off use an emory board. | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Dumb posting. |
