SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).My short answer is Sistrum by a country mile. However, the overall impact of mechanical grounding is influenced by "noise" levels. Regarding Sistrum, my personal experience has been that entities t... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Try the stands under the speakers if possible just to get a taste. Subs and speakers have the most impact followed by amps. IMO, it is a foundational technology that should remain while components ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
as good as i'll ever need!!FYI, I did fart around with high powered SETs (Kora Stereo) on my previous speakers (91 dB, ohm) and loved them. They were just a pain to bias and not safe around toddlers. If I had the cash (reall... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, the fuse takes a LONG time to burn IMO. 100-300 hrs. I noted changes at the 300 hr mark. Self-deception? Who knows at this point. A very impressive little tweak.... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Bill, you described the Sistrum effect perfectly: Dueland-like indeed.Charles, in the last picture of your xover, that white rectangular objects looks suspiciously like a sand cast resistor. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Booboo's DenI can. It sounds best with "0." Which setting to use depends on system noise, etc. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, I have read that in places, and some have created a spurious casual link to metallic ringing of the stands. The actual resonance of the materials within the stand is subsonic according to ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
