| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Another close out of state option is Oregon. I have dealt with Jeff at Metafi audio in Lake Oswego. He is a straight ahead guy with some interesting and quality options. He also gets a good selection of used gear that is often in 9/10 or 10/10 ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? If you can wait until September for the audio show (Pacific Audio Fest), that would be the best opportunity to listen a variety of spakers in your price range. I am found of the Gershman offerings and the open baffle designs by Spatial Audio and ... | |
| seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers? I would think that any plastic type barrier could interact with the footer. Perhaps a piece of inert paper would work better. | |
| It Happens Every Time I Calibrate It's a tough one to chase. I am sensitive to string harshness especially violins. Sometimes I find a live performance a little on the polite or muted side in regards to the strings and it takes a bit of an aural adjustment. That being said, I h... | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? I went from the Furutech ref 15i to the Puritan PMS 156. Enough said. | |

| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy For loose power plugs going into components you wrap the connector with a couple wraps of Teflon tape (plumbers tape). Just the plastic part. Problem solved. | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy See my pictures in my virtual system for the fix I used. Upgraded the outlet to the Audioquest NRG Edison 20 (big improvement in grasp). I also went to a foam store to buy some rigit foam and cut it to size to support the cable. I also have use... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker I wonder how the new PS audio FR5 bookshelf speakers will stand up to the competition 3 to 4k. | |
| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey I was going to recommend the Alta Alyssa speakers but they are a 4ohm 87db efficient speaker. They probably wouldn't require a sub based on their low frequency extension. Good luck. | |
| Esoteric K03XD Mike at Suncoast audio responded on his Audio Shark forum. The 05XD is close but the 03XD is superior. I'm not exactly sure what this really means in terms of the actual sonic differences. |
