Melos Audio Restoration going strong...
I have owned a Melos preamp for several years now. My experiences w/ MAR have been nothing but positive and the work they have performed has been of high quality and great price value. I first sent back my preamp (upgraded from SHA Gold to Maestro... 
What about Walker Omega Mikro cables vs. the pack?
I recently went through a cost no object search for digital cables. The Omega Miro Ebony Twin Tube LCX is absoltely the very best I have ever heard in digital cable. However, they retail for close to $1800. The cheaper D-4 digital cable was incred... 
Upgrading from Cardas lightning to Virtual Dynmcs?
I had two of the Cardas L15s here a few years ago. Very nice bottom end and great body and weight to the music. However, the top end extension and over all detail retrieval was not really all that great. Micro dynamics were somewhat compromised an... 
REVIEW: Virtual Dynamics NITE Digital Cable
You are in for a real treat Jose! The Nites will give you all the detail of the MC2 and then some while throwing in big warm natural vocals and a more solid bass foundation. IMS I found even the HT Magic One more to my liking than the MC2 due to t... 
REVIEW: Virtual Dynamics NITE Digital Cable
Well, I must say we share a LOT of beliefs as well as cables. Small world. I do agree that if there is any bottle neck in an all Nite package it's the IC. However, I need a little more time to confirm this, but expressed this to Rick already. Stil... 
Audio Magic Stealth and Virtual Dynamics PC
When mine first arrived I used an old Pro AC-11 laying around. Sounded good and left it there a bit. Then when I stuck the BMI Whale there the thing changed dramatically, for better and worse. The clarity over the entry HT cord was amazing making ... 
Digital Interconnects
Been through a LOT of these things. Te Omega Mikro digitals have incredible speed, clarity, and amazing PRaT. When you get to the Ebony Twin tube level things just get silly good. The Nite digital is a great cable too and much friendlier on the ba... 
Audio Magic Stealth and Virtual Dynamics PC
I posted about the Nite digital cable just recently and will eventually have some results to share regarding the power cords. I pulled two Elrod EPS power cords off my Audio Magic Stealth PLCs (have a separate digital Stealth to isolate the front ... 
Audio Magic Stealth pc experiences.
I have two stealths on the way. One was a digital where I had the digital circuits removed to make it a true 2 outlet stealth. I also had Jerry pull the Leviton AC receptical out of it for an Acme silver cryo. Then I sold my UO and am now ordering... 
Audio Alchmey DLC Help
I think I still have one. Send me off an email SUnday to remind me and I will look for it.One thing I was thinking about the other day on that DLC (it's a spare & haven't used it in a year)isn't there a sequence you must go through when pluggi... 
Will this FIM 880 open up & let some detail in?
Glad to hear that the FIM will open up then! From the "bottom up" is very unusual, but the fact that my system changed SO MUCH from going to the FIM from the Acme Non-cryo is mind boggling enough. Just got finished w/ about 4 months of power cord ... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Had the Audition, power2 & power3 here for weeks. Started w/ the Audition after long burn in (well 10 days or so)then stuck it up against the competition: Shunyata Cobras, Omega Mikro w/ active shielding, & David Elrod EPS power cords. The... 
Is the SPM/Quatro fil still a good choice
The internal wiring of the Nordost El Dorado power cord uses the same kind and amount of wires as do the Quattro-fil interconnects. If handy w/ your hands I have heard of people buying the used El Dorado PC for a couple hundred bucks and making bo... 
FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard
Yes, I will post the results but it will most likely be 5 or 6 weeks. The FIM just arrived today so I hope to install them both over the week end and take my stock non cyro Acme down to the "B" system. Thing is the outlets should most likey run in... 
Tube Dampers
Not only is Steve a great guy, he gives you 90 DAYS! to be sure you like the product! I have three sets of them on my tubes. two on my Siemens E88CC on the preamp, two on my CCa on the amp, & two on my 6CG7 input tubes! Things get tight and cr...
