Contact Enhancer Q45T
When I say $345 is more like $34,500 it surely is a reflection of my satisfaction. And a direct reference to actual money spent in my $135,000 system. Can an actual amount be quantified.? Not really. Is it a highly subjective, emotional comment?... 
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
+1 Townsend Podiums These produced, perhaps, the greatest improvement in SQ then any component, Worth many times the price.  
Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today
After installing Fideliums in my system, my thoughts were that there would be a flood of high priced speaker cables on the used market. I was using very highly thought of $6K cables that are now relatively junk in comparison.  A main feature of F... 
Contact Enhancer Q45T
Now on for 24 hours, I am even more stunned. In a nutshell, it makes music more beautiful. Have yet to do any AC cords. Only all other contacts-ICs and speaker. $345 is more like $34,500 in improvements.  
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
An update. Got my NPS Q45T 4-14 and applied it to all connections but AC 4-16. WOW, WOW, WOW! The change in SQ is equal to or greater than moving from a $3K cartridge to a $13K cartridge. Now music is unlike anything I have ever heard. The soun... 
Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines
I have been planning a dedicated AC line for some time and it should be installed within a couple of weeks. At first, I thought of using the man as a consultant who did M.Fremmer’s which was a major fix including a new meter box, new incoming outs... 
Contact Enhancer Q45T
+10,000 @nasaman  WOW, WOW, WOW… Received mine two days ago Thursday. It was ordered mid February. Just applied it to all connections except AC. Rick did tell me that it took 40-60 to really take effect. But WOW! I always discounted the backgro... 
How do you arrange the order of your records?
I kind of solved my storage problem. (I started stacking horizontally) Found that I could make room in my clothes closet. I also thought that I could make room in the garage for less important LPs. As for organizing, I am stuck in random mode. A... 
How do you arrange the order of your records?
Not really focused on selecting any particular record, I wonder how you super organized fellows choose what to listen to. Someone mentioned "rotation". Are favorites placed in separate places? Are particular ones kept in mind among the organized?... 
“House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers
I have always loved SF’s take on what music sounds like. Who knows better than the Italians? And one of the most real sounding speakers I have heard were Rockports.  
recommended speaker cables and interconnects
Search “Silversmith Fidelium” on the Forum. You will see that Pretty much everyone who bought them say the same things. That they are the best they have used. I replaced very fine $6K speaker cables that are now relatively junk in comparison. For ... 
Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle
Glad to see how many speak of Oyaide R1s. I bought 2 for my soon to be dedicated AC line. I also got 2 very thick non ferrous faceplates. The R1s and faceplates were about $600 each. And on the recommendation of Joe at the Lotus Group, 50’ of the ... 
Vinyl Repair?
This is probably a topic for a new thread… I have run out of vertical LP storage and have many records now horizontally. Have always known that this will warp records. How accurate is this?  
Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
I have a big investment in my front end. But the most significant improvement came when I added another $10K to my $3K cartridge. (Analog only system-Lyra Atlas SL) Granted, the rest of my system was up to the level of the Lyra. It pulled so much... 
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
No Q45T yet. But Rick has been communicating by text a lot this week and he was clear that he has made a new, more potent batch of Q45T and mine was now shipped. I am confident that I will receive it within a few days. Will certainly report when i...
