Closer StillSystem edited: Just added a pair of Shakti Hallograph optimizers which seem to work quite well in my room. I've been playing with the angle to get a nice balance between expanded soundstage and focus. posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Closer StillSystem edited: I'm a clumsy fool, I broke my Denon 103R but took the opportunity to upgrade to a Shelter 501 mk II ;-) It's still breaking in but shows promise right off the bat. posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |

Closer StillSystem edited: Just replaced the thin strand "OTA" cable with a single run Signal Cables Silver Resolution (12 ft). I know these things need to break in but I heard an immediate improvement in bass... posted almost 20 years ago | View comment | |

Closer StillSystem edited: Added a VPI Scoutmaster to this system. Plays like a dream through the Supratek Chenin. Cartridge is a borrowed Denon 103 (so not added to Component list). posted over 20 years ago | View comment | |
Closer StillSystem edited: Just replaced the Granite 861 monoblock amps with a Joule Electra VZN-80. Not that the Granites weren't good, in fact I think they are great amps -- very clean and great authority fo... posted over 20 years ago | View comment | |
