Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............

Thanks for the feedback Richard. I actually used the Dakioms in my system for over a month! I went back and forth with Kim regarding possible incompatibility with 2 mod'd players I have; perhaps added capacitance was the issue.

But I then played them in my system with an unmod'd DVD player, and then later with an Arcam CD-73T. All told, they spent three weeks with these players. And in both cases, the players went right to my integrated amp, and then to speakers - so there was nowhere else to put them in my system.

In ALL cases, there were benefits and drawbacks; I just happened to find the drawbacks not acceptable compared to the benefits.

All I'm saying is that system interaction cannot be determined ahead of time. The Dakiom's made my system sound worse. But I DO recognize their value (I didn't return them, they are sitting now in a video system running 2-channel audio; there, they do more good than harm), and definitely recommend someone try them out.

As for the Walker silver treatment, I may try it, it's cheap enough. Interesting article comparing the two in the latest Bound For Sound mag; worth a read.

Thanks for the tip, and let me know how your new IC's turn out.

Todd.

Chams_uk, I am going to have my Dakiom feedback stabilizers Cryoed Treated, I think the Triphazers are Cryoed Treated too. That's why they sound better........Richard

Keep us updated, Richard. Sounds like you'll take them as far as they can go. As for the Triphasers, I don't think they are cryo'd, or they weren't at one point. I'll check with Mike at Tritium, but I have chatted whit him several times before, and I don't think he does that.

Who knows what it might do though if he did! :-)

Chams_uk, I think the Triphasers are Cryo treated because of the very long break in they need to sound there best, let me know what you find out about this........Richard

Hi all, I tried something that made these stabilizers sound a lot better, put them in the Freezer for 24 hours and then put them in the Refrigerator for an hour or two. Then put them back and play music for 24 hours or so and you should hear a big improvement!.......Richard
