AIVS Enzymatic Record Cleaning Concentrate for Ultrasonic RCMs $50 | REVIEW

February 2, 2023 Comments Off on AIVS Enzymatic Record Cleaning Concentrate for Ultrasonic RCMs $50 | REVIEW

After that wet afternoon under jugs of distilled water testing, I have continued to only use the AIVS enzymatic solution for almost 12 months.

The Audio DESK System Ultrasonic cleaner is a core part of my listening routing, with every LP getting a bath before setting eyes on my turntable. With the AIVS, I can change the fluid more frequently with very little cost. In fact, the gallon of distilled water costs more than the 15mL of AIVS solution that I mix with it!

If you have an ultrasonic cleaner, give the AIVS Enzymatic Record Cleaning Concentrate for Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machines a try. Audio Desk System Ultrasonic + AIVS Enzymatic Concentrate are a winning combination.

Reduce echo and noise in a modern and simple way with the Silentmax3D acoustic panel. It is proven that noise has an adverse effect on human health. A large echo reduces concentration, the voice or the spoken word is difficult to distinguish. Listening to the spoken word in an environment with a lot of reverberation (reverberation time) is tiring and exhausting.

Shunyata Research Denali 6000/S v2 Power Conditioner $6000 Review

January 28, 2023 Comments Off on Shunyata Research Denali 6000/S v2 Power Conditioner $6000 Review

https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/1161-shunyata-research-denali-6000s-v2-power-conditioner#most-read-equipment-reviews

The Shunyata Research Denali 6000/S v2 is packed with proprietary technologies designed to keep your system safe and performing at its absolute best. It does this in a beautifully crafted package that comes with a lifetime warranty. Yes, six grand is a lot of money for a power conditioner. However, if you want to extract the best performance from your stereo—in my case, less noise and a more well-formed soundstage—I don’t think there’s any way you can go wrong if you buy the Denali.

I think the Shunyata Research Denali 6000/S v2 is a buy-it-once-and-forget-it component. If you get one of these, you can rest assured that the connected components are getting exactly the power quality they need. Then instead of worrying about power delivery, you can spend your time obsessing over the other gear in your system. That’s what I’m going to do now because the power conditioning is taken care of for good.

GIK Acoustics Gotham N23 5″ Quadratic Diffusers $399

January 22, 2023 Comments Off on GIK Acoustics Gotham N23 5″ Quadratic Diffusers $399

A listening room is not a concert hall, and some attention to the acoustics of the space—the fraught subject of “room treatment”—is often required to maximize the positive attributes of an audio system. To be sure, sidewall reflections and a room’s bass nodes must be prioritized, but the introduction of well-executed diffusion can greatly increase the perceived size of a domestic listening space. Diffusers will take potentially damaging reflections and break them down into groups of smaller reflections that are then redistributed back into the room without alteration of their timing or amplitude. A “quadratic diffusor” has a series of troughs the dimensions of which have been calculated according to “quantum wavelength theory.” The device reflects the incident soundwaves back into the room in a consistent and predictable fashion. Despite what you may have heard, randomly pulling out books, LPs, or CDs from the shelving behind your speakers will not accomplish the same thing. Installing two or more of GIK’s surprisingly affordable 17.5″ x 17.5″ quadratic diffusor panels has the potential to improve soundstage depth, perceived detail, and spaciousness, in general. They are an exceptionally cost-effective upgrade to most systems, and they aren’t unattractive as things audio go.

DS Audio ES-001 Eccentricity Stabilizer Review

Still, you might be wondering why I refuse to ‘name and shame’ specific LPs. That’s because the ES-001 exposed a dilemma which will drive some of you crazy – that of the deviation between two or more copies of the same LP and pressing. In the past I’ve purchased a few ‘identical’ LPs precisely for A/B’ing turntables and cartridges but some turned out not to be so identical after all. I won’t name them because my pressings might differ from yours, and this exercise is, after all, about inconsistency in manufacturing.

I can see some of you buying an ES-001, taking it to the record store and checking the copies in stock to secure the best – least eccentric – pressing. So the ES-001 will also be a test of LP vendor patience!
