| Sistrum or Neuance or...? No, haven't been paid a thing. I'm just trying to help other audiophiles out. It really is that good. I've been through a lot of tweaking. This is really the best. It's a full system upgrade and I've got good stuff to begin with. | |
| What are your favorite monitors? Currently, I am running the Diapasons - adamante's. They go down into the 30's and image very well. Depth is also outstanding. I have replaced the stands they come with, to the sistrum stands which was a big improvement. But for everyone out there... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Guys, I got the upgraded amp stand and yes its quite a nice improvment. I am definitely keeping it. Everything is just better. Better dynamics, lower noise floor, bigger soundstage, cleaner sound, better highs and lows. It took about 10 days for t... | |
| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No The VAC REN is fantastic - agree completely with Bhouser. Bested a lot of preamps that I listened to, albeit not the ones listed above - Kevin, is one of the best if not the best in highend audio to deal with. He is open and honest - always willin... | |
| Are Wilson speakers springbok10, you are on the right track. Personally, I find tubes more engaging..so I would consider that as an option. There are a lot of speaker options in your price range. Part of the fun is the "listening search". As an interim suggestion, le... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? I tried various "stuff". You can email me for details. What surprised me the most was the level of improvement. Yes, I expected an improvement, but not as much as I got with the sistrum amp stand (and I have the lesser model). I have VAC equip. am... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? I have found the sistrum stands to work very well in my system. Surprising that PF recently recommended a $47k amp ONLY if you buy Sistrum stands with it? Well, it works very well on my "much less expensive amp" :). Try it, what have you got to lo... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Gee, I posted the cement thing without even being a Sistrum owner...no bandwagon here. However, since posting, I recieved Sistrum stands for my speakers. Needless to say, I haven't "tested" them, nor have I returned to my physics books of twenty p... | |
| What's the best way to clean vacuum tube pins? dip them in cleaning acid. You can get it at hardware store. Be careful of course.... Dip pin only in a small glass container / small glass bowl or pyrex (only about 1/8 to 1/4 depth of acid) for about 30 seconds and then neutralize in baking soda... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? science has still not proven why cement hardens, go figure...last I looked folks were using a lot of it and liking it. | |
| Theta Data basic II or universal II? I currently do not use the laser disc. It is a dedicated CD transport only. Theta data III? Is this a laser also, or cd only? | |
| Help, is it clipping? or cables? or...feedback. Thanks for the great feedback. I beleive you are right on. My tubes in the amp are VERY old. Perhaps its like the frog being boiled in water - start with nice water and heat slowly...I will have new tubes to try soon and update. Any other thoughts... | |
| Biggest Sonic Improvement Black Diamond - those things under speaker spikes. Yes, you can't believe teh difference. I am surprised there isn't more out there on this tweak. | |
| The Best Speakers for a Small Room The Diapason's Diamonte II's are an excellent choice. Disappear in the room. Very musical, refined. Excellent base for a monitor. No real need for sub unless big organ listener. This is not an analytical speaker. One you will be happy with, unless... |
