MY Place sbayneThings have finally calmed down at work and I should have time over the holidays to evaluate the PerfectPath Tech products. So, I ordered a set of Alpha E Cards from PerfectPath and bought some Tot... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI’ve been tinkering with my system lately. I started to get a little less transparency in the bass and lower mids and the highs didn’t seem as warm. So I put everything back to where I knew I like... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneListened to Daft Punk's RAM on vinyl last night with my son. That last cut is nuts! Literally thought I was going to blow a speaker! posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI ended-up taking the MC-0.5, that has Total Contact all-over it, out of my system. Even when used with the SR Tranquility bases it seemed to add a slight haze to the sound. Really weird. I tried n... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI've been busy with work and family matters lately so not much time spent with my system. I did buy a MC-0.5 from another Audiogoner. He had completely covered it with Total Contact. Its a strange... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneYou mean "life" isn't all about our sound systems? Ha,ha. I just want to give the E-Cards a fair shot so I need enough time to do that. I don't want to drop them in my system on Friday and reach a... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI read a news report this morning that scientists recently figured-out how birds detect the earth's magnetic field to navigate. For decades they thought it had something to do with their beaks bein... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSaw your comments on the E-Cards, Bill. I will get a set at some point. I've been gone so much lately I'm going to wait a little bit when I have more time to devote to my system. I certainly respec... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneLong story short, over the past weekend, I met a quantum physicist and struck-up a conversation. She was talking about the dual nature of light which has both particle and wave-like properties. App... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI painted all the connections inside my Ground Box, including the copper strips, with graphene oxide. I'm a little surprised at the improvement. Starting to wonder how a completely treated speaker ... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneSynergistic Research recently had a special if you bought 3 GCTs you received a Blue fuse free. So now, I have Blue fuses in my amp, music server and preamp and all have GCTs on them. Since its not... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneFinally had some downtime this weekend so I listened to most of Bach's St. Mathew Passion directed by Otto Klemperer with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Choir. This was recorded by EMI and one of t... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneOk Bill I may take the plunge Any theories on how they work? He has made very clear it has nothing to do with a magnetic field. posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneBill just saw your comments about the E-mat and how removing the EMI barriers seemed to unleash the magic. Do you still have any of the magnetic mats we’ve been discussing here in your system? posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThat's ok. I just think they crossed the line and I had to say something. posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneWell I guess the seller of Total Contact knows exactly what is going on with people painting inside of power conditioners. Last night on their thread they even explained how to get hex screws out a... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneYeah agreed. I need to "fish or cut bait" with that amp. I'll be in touch. posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks Bill. It appears the seller's wife is the company rep on those boards now so I'll leave it to her. Hopefully, people will use some common sense. I've talked to a number of people about my tu... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneFor you Total Contact users who may be reading this. Doesn't the seller claim its very conductive? I haven't been reading those message boards much anymore but the main proponent recently posted... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneYeah I basically agree with Bill but I would say at least 3 days. If you can wait a week before doing serious listening I would recommend it. Also use as many layers as you can and get EMI inhibito... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneI think that a SSD will be more than fine with a magnetic field around it. A hard drive or phono cartridge not so much. posted about 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneTom - I've got 10 treated magnetic mats on each component. 5 on the top (if possible) and 5 on the bottom. I have a power strip with 4 High Fidelity MC-0.5s plugged-in that has 5 mats under it w... posted about 7 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneTom thanks for the tip. I didn't realize there would be enough magnetic attraction (pull) on the backside to keep them attached to the breaker door. I may try them that way. You've reminded me of s... posted about 7 years ago | View comment |
