MY Place sbaynericmech23 - I really like the FOZ SS-X. The Jim Fosgate speaker crosstalk circuit really works well. I've changed my system around recently and ended-up selling it, however. It was adding too much ... posted almost 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI've added QSA fuses to all my components. They are excellent straight out of the box but I used some PPT Total Contact on them which add another level of realism. I'm going to keep messing with th... posted almost 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSomeone was asking about my sub setup with the Moabs so I thought I'd post my response here as well: I run 4 subs in a distributed bass array or "swarm". I get excellent bass because the subs a... posted about 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneHi Chuck - No, I'm in North Carolina. I was trying to workout going to your place while Krissy is there but it isn't going to happen. I need to contact her. If you are ever in my area let me know. posted about 4 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI've been reading about the new QSA fuses that a number of StereoTimes reviewers are raving about. They seem to be the best fuses currently available but, of course, the ones with the greatest effe... posted about 4 years ago | View comment | |
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 about 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 about 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 over 4 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 over 4 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 over 4 years ago | View comment | |
