crwilli, where did you connect on the Bricasti?

I've bounced between setup methods over the years; formulas, etc... and have settled on Jim Smith's as my best approach. I used his book (initially), then DVDs, and gained additional value from a...

As an update to my earlier post, after talking with Bruce Jacobs at AXPONA this year, and visiting their room I modified my placement. I now have one Aperture positioned about 2 feet from each...

A couple of the brands that had rooms in prior shows. I always looked forward to their rooms:

- Tidal speakers and electronics
- Bricasti electronics (I saw one Bricasti DAC in the Stillpoints...

One of my favorite things about shows like AXPONA is the chance to meet the designers/owners/principals/dealers who are in the rooms with their products. Folks like Jeff Joseph of Joseph Audio, the...

Enjoying my M25 immensely.

I have 5 Apertures. Two at the first reflection point of the left speaker and three at the first reflection point of the right speaker. The right speaker's Apertures fill an open doorway. Both sets...

Gaia II's under my YG Acoustic Carmels, using the Carpet Discs on a Persian rug over berber on concrete. I felt the bass tightened noticeably. They replaced Stillpoints Ultra SS, which replaced the...

In 1980 I was attending technical college on an old Air Force base in Waco, Texas. Jimmy Carter landed Air Force One on a campaign stop, accompanied by Jerry Jeff. He crooned a few acoustic tunes,...

I have berber carpet over pad over concrete. Initially, my YG Acoustics Carmels were on their factory spikes. I changed to Stillpoints Ultra SS and saw good improvement. Then moved to Isoacoustics...

AXPONA has been helpful to me in meeting dealers/manufacturers and feeling positive about my commitment to a current or future purchase and staying in the line. It's also helped me in meeting some,...

I've had Carmels (first generation) for six years now, and continue to thoroughly enjoy them. Recently changed amplification from BMC M1 monoblocks to Bricasti M25 stereo amplifier (paired directly...

Yes. Those are the ones.

Just bought the spiked cups. They provide an additional tightening of bass. Recommended.

I just put them directly on the carpet. In fact, they're on a Persian rug on top of the carpet. Work well.

Replaced my Stillpoints Ultra SS with Gaia II under my YG Acoustics Carmels. Sitting on padded berber carpet over concrete. Tightened my bass and improved both image and soundstage...albeit slightly....

I am unable to attend. Bought my 3-day pass early for $36, and will sell for same.

I'm a huge fan of Rodney Crowell, and we're going to his St Louis show May 2nd. He collaborated with Tommy Emmanuel about a year ago (another amazing acoustic guitarist) and opened for him last year....

Enjoyed the dinner last year, and would like to attend. Any of the three choices is fine.

I've been running Thales interconnect and speaker cables for the past several years. For the money, they have a transparency that I've yet to beat with more expensive cables. All power cables are...

My only component change in 2018 was upgrade of the Laufer Teknik Memory Player from 16 to 32 core. Complete new player with multiple improvements. The rest of my 2018 journey focused on isolation...

I believe it truly depends on the server and playback mechanism. I am ripped to WAV64 at 32/44.1 for Redbook CD. The sound difference on my music server/DAC combo was significant between FLAC, WAV...

Hello Mike,

Are you filled up for dinner? Would like to join if there's an opening.

1. Still available?
2. What length?

Thank you.
