| Shakti Stone? David- don't let Leaf's skepticism affect you (nothin' personal Leafs- by the way, are you in Toronto? just a hunch!!). I would pay most attention to the posts from those who actually HAVE tried the Stones (or own them, like myself). Again, I agre... | |
| Shakti Stone? I use 3 stones- one of them on top of DAC area of CD player- noticable results- slightly smoother, hair less grain, etc. (guess its reducing digital 'hash' etc.). Second stone is on top of DCS Purcell upsampler, and third is on top of A/V processo... | |
| Totem Beaks I use the beaks. In my opinion, they do work. The differences I noticed when auditioning them were mainly in the superior high frequency extension- i.e. cymbals 'shimmering' a bit better, a hair better resolution, etc. They will not 'bowl you over... | |
| Anyone Heard/Use API Power Wedge 116? agreed- I use 2 API Ultra PCs' for ALL components, and think they are fantastic, BUT, I run my amp straight into the wall, using a good high current power cord (Custom Power Cord Co. 'Top Gun'). Hope that helps! | |

| Has anyone auditioned the ARC LS16 pre? I use the ARC LS16- great piece. Very natural sound, mates well w SS amps as well (I use Theta Dreadnaught,with a vertical bi-amp to Totem speakers). Also works well in a 2-channel/home theater 'combo' environment. You won't be disappointed. If yo... | |

| Where to buy lead shot Here's where I will be getting my lead- www.welcocastings.com.(a Canadian lead manufacturer/distributor- they will ship around the world) I am actually going to do the ultimate- a 'hot lead pour' into my speaker stands. Welco can do this, they act... | |

| Wadia 9 compared to dCS Hey- I have auditioned the DCS Purcell upsampler (added it into the mix- I use Jeff Rowland Concentra Integrated; Sim Audio Eclipse; Cardas Golden Cross; and Totem Mani-2's). OK, I only have one thing to say. It's now a no-brainer what my next upg... | |
| Speaker Advice ? Hi. I love Mirage (for my home theater setup, I use 8 Mirage speakers including Sub). BUT, it sounds like you might be talking 2-channel. I use Totem (Mani-2's) for 2-channel which are great in the under $4k range. I don't know what your budget is... |
