Yes, having John hosting a Club would be great as he is a wonderful host. Not too mention a wonderful dealer. I will PM you the contact information for The Audiophile Society. If anyone else would like me to PM that information just contact me by ...

Peter, I had hoped to see you and others on Saturday but one of the audio clubs I belong to, The Audiophile Society, of NYC, will be having a meeting on Saturday during the same hours. In the past this club does not tend to hold a meeting in Decem... 
IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts
Goose, I got really good results using the Aptitlig bamboo butcher blocks from IKEA. They are the largest ones. I use one under each speaker. If need be you can use more than one per speaker.  
IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts
All my comments are about the Gaia by IsoAcoustics. fossada, from what I understand the 225 lbs is not a limit but is the top of the optimal range of the performance. From there the performance will start to be reduced. So if I understand correctl... 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Ozzy, thanks. That aspect is important to me. How would describe the difference between the detail retrieval of the two? One of the aspects that I like of the HFC is that they are great at micro detail and transparency. But I always felt that they... 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Ozzy, could you please give a more detailed difference between the HFC and the CT. Not sure what you mean by "a light weight" I am very familiar to the CT-I and CT-1E so any thing you could describe would help me to compare them. Thanks in advance. 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
Unlike some I tend to post sparingly and only when I feel I either have something to contribute or feel I must. I have had the pleasure to have heard both speakers. I would most definitely not describe the Tekton DI as warm. But I would not descri...

Peter, here are a few links for worthwhile choices of Ethernet Isolators that are not optical. I am still trying to find the thread on CA but I am still looking for the right one. So this will have to make do for now. http://www.emosystems.com/pro... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Yes, Pete we need to catch up. As far the difference in the two types of isolators it depends on several things. Who you ask, which ones you use/try, how much hassle vs difference in performance you might get. At one time the optical was more expe...

@ctsooner Peter, IIRC the only audiophile cat8 cable is made by Wiredworld. It is supposed be special. It comes in three levels I believe. Though not sure if you would need it with the optical isolation. Also many of us are using Ethernet isolator...

@lalitk Sorry for the delay in answering your questions but I have been with family that have been visiting and today I was at a presentation by Thomas Fine, son of Robert and Wilma Fine, the legendary recording engineers of The Mercury Living Pre...

"Al from SGM has promised me an audition that will knock my socks off. I'd like to absorb and report all that I mentioned above before taking Al's time; I'm thinking December or January. He's shown me some other cool little affordable groundin... 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
213runnin, please, stop, you are making me laugh way too much.The troll thinks I am protesting too loudly because I am calling him out, lol! Why don't you stop leaving your troll droppings on this and other threads about Tekton. I have NO financia... 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
213runnin, REALLY? Your "new" take is to call out Tekton because it has "investors" (and you have NO WAY OF KNOWING if they do or do not) and they MUST  be "partaking" in "activities" "to pump up sales themselves". Obviously everyone who praises T... 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
213runin, maybe some people are looking at it that you are being combative and attacking. Think about how you express your critic.1) The thread is about the Tekton Double Impact. But YOU continue to refer to the measurements of the Enzo, a TOTALLY...
