JM Reynaud Twin MK3 vs. JM Lab Electra 906
I used to own the Twin Mk 3's, and have heard the JM Labs at a dealer. Both are VERY nice. But personally, I think if you are going to upgrade the 3's, wait a bit and go for something even better than the 906's. While they are great, I don't know ... 
Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............
Keep us updated, Richard. Sounds like you'll take them as far as they can go. As for the Triphasers, I don't think they are cryo'd, or they weren't at one point. I'll check with Mike at Tritium, but I have chatted whit him several times before, an... 
Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............
Thanks for the feedback Richard. I actually used the Dakioms in my system for over a month! I went back and forth with Kim regarding possible incompatibility with 2 mod'd players I have; perhaps added capacitance was the issue.But I then played th... 
good, small speakers
Gallo Due's. They are tiny, and can even go ON the wall if desired. Limited bass response, but you can add a cheap small subwoofer and run it from the Classik's pre out.Actually, having owned the Classik (non-tuner version) and driven the Due's wi... 
Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............
With Tvad's caveat about trying things in your own system in mind, I say this: Triphasers still beat out the Dakioms by a WIDE margin - in my system.I have had Level 25 line and speaker level Triphasers in my system. I still have the speaker Triph... 
Tell us compliments received on your system...
A simple "WOW" did it for me. My neighbor listenined to some vocals through my system at the time (Pathos Twin Towers driving VMPS 626R's, witha mod'd Sony SACD digital front end).Second favorite: a smile. No comments, just a smile from my wife as... 
Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............
Back to the Dakioms, I had similar results as Tvad. Soe things it did good, improving the sound. But other things it didn't; the recessed midrange and TOO much softening of the sound wasn't as good in my system as the benefits they gave.One of my ... 
I Hardly Listen to Music Anymore
Hmmm, thoughtfull stuff. I think there are many reasons for what's happening, most of not all spelled out:- Changing priorities- Intensity of listening and inability to do it long- Dissatisfaction with sub-par systems- Age? :-)For me, I am lucky (... 
Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug?
I'm reading all these great stories, and loving them! I also notice a trend of a love for music for a while, THEN followed by a general or specific point in time where the concept of getting the equipment comes into play. Maybe it's when it can be... 
Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug?
Neat thread, and GREAT stories. Mine dates to around 1983. I was working in a mall in Massachusetts, making money through college. This mall had a Nantucket Sound store in it (anyone remember these?).I was already into music, but had no concept of... 
Anyone heard of Mobius Speakers
I have heard of them, but not heard them. A dealer I know tried them out and wasn't too impressed....My hunch is they are a good start, but need some refinement. There'd be a lot more buzz about them if they were really goos.Nice LOOKING, though :-) 
Arcam 72t/73t vs. Music Hall CD25
My thoughts:- I own the Arcam 73, it is AMAZING on redbook. I have a heavily-mod'd Pioneer universal player, it too is awesome. It does some things better than the Arcam, but the Arcam is better musically overall (one of those "I can't put my fing... 
Why all these JC-1's for sale?
Check out Bound For Sound, forgot what issue. It documented a review of the JC-1's, and was perhaps the ONLY mag to find them inconsistent, due to a design flaw I believe. On some days, they were amongst the best available, yet on other days, near... 
Best Downgrades you've done
A couple in my case:- I also replaced a PS Audio PP300 with a BPT Jr., similar effects as described above- Moving from several different interconnects and speaker cables to Gregg Straley's (Audiogon user greggstraley, fancy that :^) interconnects ...
