| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp Hi Tim,Thank you for the kind words. I used to have two SA-102 amps in a vertical bi-amp configuration. (running both in stereo. I found the mono block configuration to be a bit too aggressive for my room and ears. I imagine your set-up as describ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Hi Joe,Damn you... the problem with respecting you despite not agreeing fully is I then give consideration to your opinions. Over the last four years some truly revolutionary thinking (and in some cases actual science) has raised the bar in cable ... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp I have indeed been doing some trial and error (tube rolling) with the 6922. I was under the false impression that this tube set (V2 socket) would have little affect. I was grossly wrong. After reading “Joe’s tube lore” (Google Joe’s tube lore) at ... | |
| Room Suggestion sadly your best two rooms are very low ceilings, but given the flexibility of an unfinished basement I would chose that over the others. As Warren suggests, you could treat the low ceiling to reduce it's effects.If you want some help I have a coup... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Hi Joe, it's a bit strange hearing some of the words coming out of your mouth on this topic. I know you appreciate the fact that wire does affect sonic quality and that different construction techniques in dielectric will change an identical wire ... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? Hi Tom, I tend to agree with you, but in my situation the chair must be overly resonant. I expect it is partially due to the wood joists and my seating location being closer to the mid span than the bearing. It sounds like this is not your issue. ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System yep, I love to brag. That must be my motive... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Geoffkait, I just read this thread, and frankly am not sure if I should laugh, cry or yell. What is your program??? Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles - $258.00, Machina dynamica Clever Lil Clock - $199.00. Are you seriously expecting anyone to be... | |
| Pre-Amp For Plinius Power Amp I have tried a number of pre-amps. I have had success with both solid state and tube, but in response to your question, the Placette is a great match. I owned the active for over four years with wonderful success. I also tried and loved the passiv... | |
| What are we "hear" for? For me it needs to be #1 and #2.If the recording is over-processed (much of the pop music) it sounds compressed and has a lack of air. This is unacceptable with my system, it will drive the listener crazy. The performance must also be convincing a... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? I must report my latest findings, using ankle weights from a sports goods store work very well on the shoulder area and do have some marginal effect. The chair hass a greater effect, but it has twice fallen from the Aurios 1.2. I need to find some... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? Man with water on brain, thanks, and good to hear from you. I'll have to remember to write you, it's been awhile since we talked. Pure, I refer you to the following post from years back. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1033743827... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? Marco my friend, you are one sick dude! Let me know where they hospitalized you, I'll be sure they send me there too, we tweaker must remain supportive of each other, and you clearly need my support. | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? Geoffkait, I have indeed worked with various weights on different locations in my room. I have four 15 pound ½” thick steel plates with a rubber mat attached to the bottom and little rubber round feet. These were made for an audio dealer and I bou... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? Double stuffed, half and half. Mmmmm.Clearly this one inch could have an effect, but it was more in the height of the sound stage. When I put my speakers on Aurios, Black Diamond pucks and tungsten balls the tweeter raised about a half an inch fro... |
