MY Place sbayneI added pictures of the FOZ SS-X and the SR Grounding Block. Had lots of positive responses on the Tekton forum about the FOZ. I guess a lot of people have been using one. I had no idea. posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI added a Black Ice (Jolida) - Foz SS-X to the system. The thing has a cult following and after talking to a couple owners I decided to try one out. Its a tube buffer, a Jim Fosgate patented speake... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneOver the years I've owned some high-end turntables (Shindo, Garrard 301, Thorens TD-124 etc) and consequently built-up a very nice vinyl collection which I still have. A local audiophile was sellin... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI added some Nobsound spring-based footers under my amp and preamp. These are very cheap - especially as compared to the Townshend footers that are much higher quality but are also based on floatin... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneBased on a number of recommendations I purchased a set of Townshend Audio Seismic Isolation Podiums for my Tekton Moabs. They decouple and "float" the speakers on a spring-loaded metal base. It ope... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneI went ahead and added a complete Synergistic Research ART acoustic system. It's based on resonators and even though its SR's "old" acoustic system it integrates very well and compliments the overa... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneksnel331 - The tweeters are the Satori TW29B-B. It fits the opening exactly and comes in 4 ohm which is what I needed. It uses a regular ferrite magnet and costs less than the TW29BN-B which uses a... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneI now use 3 different Atmospheres in my system. The original Atmosphere, FEQ x4 and the Mini x4 so that I have complete coverage of the room. It's a lot like what SR is doing with their Infinity se... posted over 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI installed beryllium Sartori TW29B-B tweeters in the Moabs. As far as I can tell its the same tweeter that Tekton uses for it's upgrades. It was pretty much a direct fit. It adds micro detail and ... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI finally finished making my own "high definition" grounding cables for my Synergistic Research Grounding block. Very nice improvement across the board in micro-detail. The biggest improvement (thi... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThe last piece of the overhaul (for awhile at least) is the Synergistic Research Powercell 12 UEF. It's obviously UEF based and uses EM in its conditioning. The sound is immediate and clear yet del... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI've also gradually moved to a full-loom of Synergistic Research Foundation power cables, interconnects and speaker cables. I was using very high value Western Electric cables before but, as should... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneMassive overhaul of my system. I changed pretty much everything except for the Moabs. The biggest change was to my amp. I had an excellent Melody AN845 integrated that gave glorious sound but I wan... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneLike I've discussed many times before the key to getting good sound is to manipulate the power feeding our system and the audio signal itself. Science shows electronic signals (which obviously incl... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneAfter reading a lot of comments about placement, I decided to put the Tranquility Pod over the very back of the Lumin D2 so that it covers the back-panel connections. I also added some ... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI found some good deals on a used Synergistic Research ground box and Tranquility Pod. I built my own "high-def" cables for the grounding box. I must say it works very well. Absolute blackness betw... posted almost 5 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneI've switched the BlueSound NODE 2i out for a Lumin D2. I'll be adding a Synergistic Research Orange fuse to it. Already, the sound is bigger, more layered and open. Things have calmed down on the ... posted about 5 years ago | View comment | |
