I recently have been trying different isolation/vibration management tweaks under all of my components, with excellent results generally. In fact, I now consider such tweaking to be as essential as acoustic treatments. With the Spires, I initially tried some Track Audio spikes...

Artist: Jeff Lorber Fusion Title: Wizard Island Label: Arista AL 9516 Year: 1980 Jeff Lorber Fusion- Wizard Island on vinyl. This is one of my favorite jazz/funk fusion albums and it deserved much more recognition than it got, even with it reaching #1 on the jazz charts. It features Lorber...

Has anyone done this? I'm considering lining my Spires with Dynamat (or a more suitable alternative, if such exists).

There is an anticipation thread on these over at avsforum: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1428214/official-oppo-bdp-103-bdp-105-anticipation-thread The most significant announced changes so far for the 105, from an audiophile perspective: Digital inputs (USB, coaxial, optical), headphone amp...

I stumbled across this while researching another issue. AudioTech Industries has launched an audio classifieds website, which is free to non-commercial sellers. The site is here: http://www.audiotechindustries.com/ ... and being discussed here...

Some members here might have trouble getting their SOs to fully understand, if not support, their audiophilia. Some might even be in the unenviable position of having to constantly 'justify' their hobby habits. If any of this is familiar to you (and even if it is not), you might do well to...

Hello All, I'm beginning to educate myself on what I call 'modern analog' (my last real involvement with analog was with a Technics TT/Pioneer receiver setup in my college days). As the thread title suggests, my setup will soon look like this: Cary 306SACD ---PC laptop running Vista and iTunes...

I just came across this site while perusing another forum. Is anyone here familiar with it? It seems brand new, in fact, they are running free ads right now as a promotion. It is obviously meant to compete with 'you know who.' Here is a link to more info: http://stereolist.com/about/

With the recent catastrophe in Haiti, I thought that some MLC members might want to know about some easy ways to contribute to the relief efforts. Yele Haiti is a non-profit foundation established by Wyclef Jean. For those not familiar with him, Jean is a Haitian-born musician who came to fame...

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet, but here is the link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/8368895.stm As someone who has just very recently begun dabbling in streaming audio, I am not surprised. Streaming AIFF files from my PC laptop through an Apple TV that links to my...

I am in the midst of dramatically changing my setup, and I'm considering buying aftermarket power cords for my Vantages. In my new setup, one of the speakers is a 3ft cord length from the power conditioner and the other speaker is a 7ft cord length from the conditioner. Will having different...

What brand do you use and why? What other brands did you consider? Do you have any 20amp dedicated lines in your system? Do you use any power conditioners/filters/etc.?

I'm thinking of buying a Cary SLP-2002 preamp. There is scant information about this preamp online, but what little discussion there is, many guys have talked about having done cap upgrades. Some have compared the difference in sound to what you might experience with tube rolling. I'm...

I'd like to hear from anyone who has done this, particularly if anyone who has done the work themselves. I am re-configuring my home theater/listening room, and my new setup will work best with the Theater mounted high on the front wall above the screen I am getting. The Theater is one heavy...

OK, the inevitable has happened to me. I just recently replaced my Ascent-i with a new pair of Vantages... BAM! Upgradeitis (or in ML Club parlance, "Joeyitis." :o ) I knew it would happen, but this dramatically?! I find myself checking out Audiogon with much frequency these days...
