So am I but I figured I'd give the new feet a try. I've been in tweak mode over the past year or two... - I may start a thread in the future regarding my system, looking for thoughts/opinions on my weakest link. I'm confident that the folks on this forum would have some good advice to start me...

Just got these. Hopefully will hook them up in the next couple days on my Fynes.

I agree they're all pretty amazing. The last one, 'On Every Street' sounds pretty darn incredible.

I'm not a headphone guy but I picked up some cheap Bluetooth headphones a few months ago for plane trips to use with my phone. I guess, as you mention, I was imagining a soundstage. Maybe it's the stereo location and reverb of, for instance, a string quartet on stage. Or when listening to a...

I just watched a video of Jim talking about 83%. So I'd be sitting INSIDE an equilateral triangle? EDIT: Duh. I get it now. (It's been a while since algebra 1...) If my tweeters are 8' apart, my ears should be about 9.65 feet away. I think that's about where my ears are. Cool.

I received the Fyne S-TRAX. Gonna let them run in for a couple hundred hours, but I 'think' I like them already.

Ha! Yeah that silver would have been around $4K a couple weeks ago.

Thank you. I think they call that figure on walnut "feathering." I could stare at it all day but now it's covered with my components!..

Well, this isn't audio restoration, but it's a table I had made by a guy in the Ozarks for my stereo gear. Don't worry, everything is on Isoacoustic feet. 2" thick black walnut, 6'x2'. It came with a satin finish. I added a bit of ceramic car finish to add a little more gloss. Crazy deep 3D...

Finished it. That was great. Thanks again. Full disclosure: I went with a Cardas "loom" over the past year. (Clear Cygnus. It fit my budget and my gear IMO). Happily, J

This is awesome. I'm playing the whole thing. I'm only 20 minutes into it and I have to go clean up the kitchen now and get ready for a basketball game on tv, but man, this is a great conversation to watch with two cable giants. - Looking forward to finishing it. Thanks!

That's quite the delta... I understand.

For context: My CD player journey went (over the past 30 yrs): Marantz CD63 Cary CD303 Primaluna CD player (forgot the model#. Tubes galore). to now TEAC 507T transport Primaluna EVO 100 DAC (I can't help but love tubes). Cardas Clear cable between
