| I found my ideal interconnect - Sonoran Plateau my system never fully reached it's current level of musical revelation until I began using the two Sistrum SP-6 racks, also by the Starsound guys. I am now using the Sonoran Plateau IC's as well in a couple of signal paths within the system, and a... | |
| Moon Nova or Eclipse? Golden Ears- point well taken. Well, all is not lost- Costa finally DID get back to me. The answer was as I suspected- the Attraction is still the sonic champ (superior dacs, etc.), but newer Stargate has more options... | |
| Speaker Choices for Tube Amps Bigkidz- my room is similar size to yours. The Total Victory has prodigious bass, however the Wyetech (as fabulously pure as it is) just may not be quite enough power for you. Btw- which Wyetech did you hear? I know the Topaz very well, and it is ... | |
| Speaker Choices for Tube Amps I also use Coincident Total Victory, but with ASL 1009 monoblocks @ 60 wpc- perfect power/purity match... | |
| Moon Nova or Eclipse? Golden ears- with all due respect, every other high-end mfr I have dealt with have always made the time for a key question or two- in fact, many of them actually believe that great customer service will make a happy customer- not a novel concept. ... | |
| Moon Nova or Eclipse? I have had several Sim Products- the Eclipse was superb, the P5 preamp a bit dry for me. However, their Attraction preamp/HT processor was the home run for me- just excellent- sonically very neutral, with an extremely low noise floor. For HT is wa... | |
| Sistrum users: any dents left? I have all Sistrum stands- it all depends on the tensile strength/thickess of the metal bottom piece of your amp- if it's too soft/thin, may dent a bit more of an impression (my current ASL 1009 tube monoblocks), thicker/stronger (my previous SS T... | |
| Totem Mani-2 and tubes I had a pair of Manis' hooked up to a buddy's Audio Research M-300 MK II's. 300 watts of tube power- it really woke them up- glorious! I also had them hooked up to my previous Altec 1570B's- 160 watts in triode- lotsa power, and a sweet sound. I e... | |
| Speakers for low level listening keep it to a higher efficiency design to reveal better low-level detail- I had the Coincident Victory, and it was superb in this regard... | |
| speaker comparison try the Totem Mani-2's- all of the above plus great bass- I had 5 of them in a home theater setup, and it was great! | |
| Pioneer Elite DV-09 as a Transport... I have one too- for DVD's only though. It's not that great as a transport, HOWEVER, it got MUCH better when I fed the digital out from the DV-09 into a GW Labs DSP digital converter (reduces jitter; boosts signal); the GW Labs to Dac- there was NO... | |
| Any opinions on Bybee Purifiers installed in speak no- but they are great at the rca inputs to the amp. | |
| Comparson Of 24/92 vs Non Upsampling DAC's Rick- you have a fantastic transport there- add the Audio Note 3.1x Balanced dac, and I think you'll be very, very, happy. I owned the same 3.1 balanced dac, and the ONLY reason for letting it go was to go to the new Meitner/Emm Labs setup. The Au... | |

| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. I have a friend with very large room also- he has Infinity Betas- big monsters with separate woofer columns. He is using Sim Audio W-10 SS monoblocks. They are 1,400 watts into 4 ohms, and the bass control is phenomenal. http://simaudio.com/moonw1... |
