| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? Given your Snell Type C/V speakers, and their 87dB sensitivity and uneven impedance curve, see the measurements here, I would say no, you will not get the slam from tubes that you enjoy from solid state.Your speakers are not a particularly good ma... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I'd spend the money optimizing your power delivery (e.g. adding a whole house filter/surge suppressor like the Environmental Potentials EP-2050 or a balanced isolation transformer, installing dedicated AC lines with a common ground, making sure yo... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? In my system they transform the sound in a way that is not subtle at all -- like a major component upgrade.Sabai (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Yes, I thought the EVS Ground Enhancers made a change equivalent to a component upgrade. The MiGs, no... | |

| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Before the MiGs I experienced the wow factor a few times in my system -- Ric Schultz's EVS Ground Enhancers being a recent example. But these MiGs ... man, they are outta sight.Sabai (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Ric's EVS Ground Enhancers made... | |

| How a turntable is like a gym membership It is clear most on this thread do not understand vinyl! It is about the feel, the involvement, the love of the music, the memories, the artist, the meaning, taking the time to really listen and the sound.Koegz (System | Threads | Answers | This T... | |
| Experience with Mach2 Music Server? Thanks for the fan info, Darrell.We all have different hearing acuity, and tolerance for ambient noise. I'm sensitive to it.I simply cannot take a $1495 flyer (actually several hundred higher after add-ons) on a unit that may be unacceptably noisy... | |

| Experience with Mach2 Music Server? 12-19-10: 4estThe Mac Mini it is based on is very quiet to start with. Their work would make it quieter amongst things.They install a solid state hard drive, more RAM (if requested) and eliminate unnecessary software.How does doing this make the M... |
