isolation transformer
Lak, What I am thinking of is something like the T-4 you have on the main rack for the front end. As far as I know, the new one from Exact Power is the only thing comparable being made. I looked at having a pair of large isolation transfomers inst... 
isolation transformer
I am interested in trying an isolation transformer but I am concerned about mechanical noise. The equipment has to sit in the same room as where the listening takes place. Doesn't make sense to me to imnprove the quality of the sound in return for... 
Harmonic Technology Cyberlight cables
For those of you who have tried the HTC cables, tell me about the power supply. Has anyone tried both the wallwart and the high buck power supply? I did speak to someone who had some issue with the optional power supply but said the factory had to... 
Does anybody have the Exactpower EP-15A and SP-15A
I have the EP15A. I'm very happy with it. I had a P300 which I sold in favor of the EP. Its quiet but not dead quiet. There are times, not always, when there is some transformer noise. My guess is the power going to it is particularly bad and its ... 
What is the best way to convert LP's to CD's?
Rives talked about a sound card digitizing to 24/96. I take it you then use a DVD burner and either DVD-R or DVD-RW media. Correct? 
Cables other than MIT with Spectral
Thanks for the feedback. What's getting to me is the dealer saying anything other than MIT will "damage" the Spectral. Apparently, this is a subtle form of damage rather than a catastrophic failure. Supposedly, if you use other brands and then sen... 
Tact 2.0 Software help
Thanks for the tip. 
What are the 5 most overrated rock albums?
I thought the criticism of the Stones and Springsteen and some others was interesting. Its not supposed to be art. Mick got it right: "its only rock and roll but I like it." So what if its only three cords. Some great painters never used more than... 
Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
Who pays the fee, buyer or seller, is not a matter of right or wrong. Its simply a matter of negoitation between the parties. If the seller stakes out a position requiring the fee on top of the price the seller runs the risk of either scaring away... 
PsAudio 300?
I'm using a P300 to supply everything in the system except the two amps. There was an immediate and obvious improvement as soon as it was plugged in. It's my belief we suffer from poor quality electricity and I believe the P300 helps there, a lot.... 
Eidolon, Amati Homage, or Watt?
I listened to the Eidolon, the Watt/Puppy 6 and the Wisdom Audio before deciding. I bought the Wisdoms. The Eidolons imaged impressively but did little else for me. The W/P were impressive. But the Wisdoms seemed to do more right. Usually a speake... 
Why didn't the DAD format take off??
I've purchased a number of 24/96 disks. Classic and Chesky. I find the sound is wonderful. Anything in this format which even reomotely interests me I would buy. I'm tired of waiting for DVD-A. Sony/Phillips did nothing to upgrade the quality of C... 
Coolest looking speaker ever ?
Wisdom Audio Rush! 
Have you ever collected on insurance????
UPS - I bought two sets of cables from different sellers here at Audigon. Both agreed to ship COD / UPS. Both arrived the same day and I give the money orders to the driver. Next are calls from the sellers asking about payment. Turns out UPS lost ... 
Halcro VS Boulder amps, which one is better ?
Halcro vs Boulder, hmmmm, I think I'll Pass
