Several months ago I bought a Luxman D10X. I love the tonal color portrayed on well recorded discs. It's got oodles of detail and tremendous presence, but is not analytical in any way. Noise floor ...

Switching to Magnepans

Big Magnepan and Pass Labs fan, so I bet your system sounds great.  I just got an Equi=tech Q.  How do you like yours?

Recently added CMS LS series .8 loudspeaker feet under my Mye stands for the Magnepan 3.6s.  I tried ones with adapters, but I ended up just putting them under the stand frames without them.  I als...

Nice system.I am in total agreement with you on your purchase of Mye stands.  Probably one of the best sonic returns per buck out there if you own Magnepans.

I did something I told myself I would NEVER do.  It's about the 10 year anniversary of the REF 40 Anniversary preamp, so I decided to update 16 of the stock resistors in the signal path for TX2575/...

Been busy but here goes:1) I now have 10 sets of Center Stage footers. These things are habit-forming and really work. More image solidity and more immersive and bigger soundsta...

It must be voodoo!  A few months ago I bought 3 sets of Center Stage 2 .8 footers for the CD/SACD player, the ARC phono and preamp. After the requisite settling time of 2 weeks ...

Some months ago, following the TW Acustic Anniversary turntable purchase, I bought an ARC RE10 phono. Following some PS tube rolling, it sounds great. I do lament that there's less DIY shown here n...

Pradeep, How do you like the HRS base and what did it do for the sound? Does your TW plinth now have 3 or 4 feet now? What did the battery/motor controller do for the sound?  Just curious as I may ...

Deja Vu all over again!

Jon, wonderful system. Would love to hear it. I bet it sounds fantastic.  I've heard a few of Vu's systems at various Capitol Audiofests, but haven't visited the store yet.  Enjoy the music! Barry

Time for a splurge. Purchased a new TW Acustic Raven Anniversary turntable with many upgrades (see pic). Absolutely dead quiet in operation; very noisy in setup when I dropped the 45 lb platter on ...

Very nice system Phil.  Big fan of ARC!  I'm about to join you in adding a TW Acustic Raven TT (Anniversary w/ BK feet and 3 motor pod) and wondered who did your dustcover for the TT.  Also, did yo...

Finally got around to setting up the Lyra Etna's azimuth with Adjust + to improve crosstalk and phase for a noticeable improvement in soundstage perspective and increase in size.

Very nice, well thought out, system.  Cute dog too!  Maggies and the Kinergetic Subs can be a good match and REW helps dial them in as you have done. Enjoy!

The Amplitrex AT 1000 is a great tube tester. I've had mine for 5 years or so. The curve tracing is pretty cool. It's a great heuristic device too as it helps you learn about the tube parameters in...

The thread drive experiment was not as successful on my TT setup as I had hoped. The sonic tradeoffs weren't acceptable. I used #4 silk thread as recommended by many and used a regular overhand ...

Very nice. I'm a bit of a counterpoint fan myself and I'm sure the CLSs sound really nice too.
