    Purist 25th Anniversary Luminist Revision XLR Interconnects

    so new revision is primarily an improvement in the damping material (ie. new Ferox vs. old Contego). any idea if changes have been made to cable's other parameters such as conductors, gauge, etc.? how does a cable's damping will affect / influence the cable's capacitance? was considering their...

    Tripoint troy signature grounding device

    yes just rcvd, & now part of this "grounding device herd"! Baa... LL21, I was thinking about your Zanden CDP grounding. your transport & DAC are prob running on DC (as are my Lyra preamps). is it even logical to ground DC devices? perhaps we should only be grounding the AC outboard power...

    Tripoint troy signature grounding device

    hi Ralph, please let me know what measurements you require. I should be able to provide you data - with & without using a Troy grounding device in the same system.

    Tripoint troy signature grounding device

    hi LL21, I presume your "Zanden 4-box digital" comprises a CD transport, a DAC, & 2 respective power supplies? are improvements fairly noticeable when you ground all 4 boxes (vs. just the transport & DAC)? has anyone connected other non-signal path items (eg. turntable motors, motor...

    Tripoint troy signature grounding device

    hi spiritofmusic & Audiocrack, thank you for your detailed replies. I do own the Lyra Connoisseur line & phono stages & hv recently ordered a "plain Jane" Tripoint Troy Sig., so your feedback / clarification is especially meaningful for me. thanks. I gather from this lengthy thread, that many...

    Tripoint troy signature grounding device

    a question for Audiocrack. you mentioned the following in message #25: have you done any further experiments grounding the Lyra phonostage (or does it remain disconnected from your Tripoint)? is it a case where grounding works very well with certain components, but are marginal or perhaps...

    If Money and and Real Estate weren't a concern, what Speaker would you select?

    i'd try to get Western Electric horns & electronics. a pair of Kinoshita Rey Audio RM-7V might do nicely too.

    power cords for Vitus SM-101 Monoblocks , what do you think can match?

    I didn't experiment with speaker cables. I did experiment with interconnects, but not as extensively as I did with power cords. interconnects tend to be more component / system specific, so it's difficult to generalize. you'll prob need to experiment a little.

    power cords for Vitus SM-101 Monoblocks , what do you think can match?

    i've owned the Vitus SM101 several years ago. these amps are quite sensitive to power cords. must've tried a dozen power cords on these amps (including PAD Dominus, Nordost Valhalla/Odin, top of the line Acrolink Mexcel, Vitus Andromeda. Jena Labs, Jorma Prime, Pranawire, Kondo KSL-ACz, etc...

    Herzan/Table Stable "Active" Isolation table.

    hi PeterA, adding a steel plate atop the Vibraplane is a very good idea. I've read air-pressure based vibration isolation platforms typically achieve max efficiency when they're loaded at least 80% of max load capacity. I tend to make changes to my hifi system in spurts, even though this isn't...

    Herzan/Table Stable "Active" Isolation table.

    hi rockitman, thks for the quote. don't know why i didn't notice this before. my platform's H2 axis seems relatively active based on the waveform observation display.

    Herzan/Table Stable "Active" Isolation table.

    thk you PeterA. i run a Micro Seiki SX5000 Air turntable, & this platform replaces a passive Vibraplane 2210. my switch was primarily for practical / functional reasons. my Vibraplane does not have self-levelling & required too much effort to manually re-level (note: my platform load is not...
