Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter
I was hoping that 6moons post a picture of it on their review of their show (11pages) but they stopped short after posting 40% of their photos (they said they still had 60% left). The rest of the other websites, Enjoythemusic and soundstage add to... 
Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
Forgot to mention one more use of the RR-77. You may have heard of demagnetising the CD with an Acoustic Revive RD-3 demagnetiser, or even de-ioninizing the CD with their RIO-5 De-ionizer, or de-stating the CD/LP with a Furutech/ORB De-Stat gun. (... 
Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
Sorry I have not heard personally the effect of having more than 1 RR-77 unit, so would not be able to tell you whether it negates the sonic benefits. What I heard from the local distributor is that for the people who bought more than 1 unit, thei...

Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter
Just manage to find a picture of an Accustic Arts setup at the Munich show. I wonder is that a new Reference transport at the top of the rack? It looks like the lid has changed to a clamping mechanism from a sliding one???Accustic Arts with Monito... 
Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
The effects of the RR-77 can be enhanced greatly by a few of these methodsa) Locate it a height of 1.5m at least so that the Schumann pulse can be generated over a wider area of the roomb) If you only own one set (I know some users have used up to... 
Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter
Now that the High End show in Munich is already on, are there any photos or writeup on the new Accustic Art Reference Transport? Does it really look the same as Drive2? For a price that some say is above Tube DAC2, hopes it looks big and massive l...

Forgot to mention my power conditionersa) 2 sets of Blue Circle BC86 MKIII Noisehounds These are parallel noise filters, but probably suck more noise than the gimmicky PSAudio Noise harvester (a recent Stereotime review commented they need 5 sets ...

Esoteric X-01 LE is not a toploader player, thus using mats on it may be risky as it can jam up the tray opening mechanism should the mat slide out during closing. However, with toploaders like the Accustic Art transport, such risks are minimal, a...

Pin may be short, but no danger of it spinning off-course.The pucks magnet is quite strong and pins it down to the other side, so I have no worries. As mentioned earlier, the Boston Mat is 1mm thick a the sides, but 0.5mm in the recessed middle, s...

The Oracle turntable has already been one since 20 years ago, so the good looks should be handled down to a member of the family. Just wondering what's the price differential of a 2000 transport over the Accustic Art's, US$2000?With regard to the ...

Take a look athttp://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/cec/cec.htmlNow that's a big solid CD puck/clamp ;-)Oracle 2000 is not so big as that but still bigger than Accustic Art.Perhaps someone can feedback to Accustic Art to look into this engineering as...

To Teajay, I use the thicker one that measures 1mm thick.I did not notice any sonic downside with the Boston CD Stabilizer and found the flow of music to be more natural. It is not a flimsy CD mat that can get crumpled like Marigo's etc. It forms ...
