| PWB Electronics Yeah, I did too. GK got to me on this particular tweak. My impressions of these tweaks, and hopefully yours, will be shared on this thread. | |
| PWB Electronics I guess I will take the taunt, "man up", and order their free samples, after which I will report back my observations. However, I must do this surreptitiously as my most sensible audio friends still rib me years after my foolish trials of pricey... | |
| PWB Electronics dw,My favorite rock song by far is The Who's "Don't Get Fooled Again" and you cleverly riffed on it. You are a very witty guy. | |
| 7.83HZ Schumann Wave Ultra-Low Frequency Pulse Generator & Audio Resonator, DC I unleashed a can of worms with this post and wish I could have a "do-over." As always, GK dominates the discussion, which I presaged. Over and out in this discussion. Happy New Year to all. | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? I have had a ton of speaker cables over the years, but I am super happy with Supra Audio's Ply 3.4 cable. They pay homage to the vintage WE tin-clad copper cables that I have in my bedroom system which sound so clean and clear. For the price, of... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? This concept is the epitome of snake oil, confirmed by GK's embrace of it. Try it it with styrofoam cups or empty rolls of toilet tissue for an experiment. Trust your ears and watch your pocketbooks, that is my best advice, or you might be apt t... | |
| Point of diminishing return for a DAC Here is my two cents worth. I had several ~$1K DAC and they were all indistinguishable from one another: Jolida, Channel Islands Audio, Denafrips Ares, Schitt Gungnir, and couple more that I have forgotten. I upgraded to a used Ayre QB-9 and w... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors vs Buchardt S300Mk2 and/or S400 I heard the Buchardt S400 SE speakers in a friend's excellent audio system in Italy his summer and was totally blow away with the sound of them. They have remarkable bass response, tonally almost perfect, and have an immense soundstage. A fair s... | |
| Used Tube Preamp Suggestions This is a simple answer. I have a used Don Sachs tube preamp for sale, with all the serial upgrades and will be posting an ad for it soon. I upgraded to his new preamp, but the original undated preamp is fantastic. It does not have a remote. H... | |
| Dipping toes in tube preamp pool!! No question, Don Sachs' new preamp would be at the top of my list of preamps. I got the 4th one he built several years ago, went through all the excellent upgrades with it, and just now have his newest offering running in. I can imagine better t... | |
| Linear Tube Audio I heard LTA amplification driving the Spatial Audio's at Axpona and was super impressed with the sound of the system. Mark Schneider, the CEO of LTA, graciously answered all my questions and explained the involvement of David Berning in the devel... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions Join the crowd, my friend. This technology is evidently the real deal. My ears certainly tell me that. Thanks for the post. I do love Dali speakers. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers I posted elsewhere on the forum today that I am totally impressed with the SQ improvement with the GAIA III's under my Spatial Audio speakers for the reasons described above. It is a pricey tweek ($684 with the carpet spikes), but it is a really ... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Timlub,I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this vexing aspect of audio. I can't say I understood it all, but it greatly aided my background on the topic. Roy at Green Mountain Audio was a big proponent of time alignment of the drivers in ... | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is Great thread, with some clever responses. I am gonna check out the Nectar mattress myself. I have Spatial Audio speakers and a bespoke Don Sachs preamp and amp in my system. I suspect they'd be 2X the price if sold through dealer channels. |
