Title: Awesome Knobs!

Silver Rock Signature Knob (http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?)

Quote from: knobGood vibrations, Bad vibrations itââ,¬â,,¢s all about vibrations!! RAM would like to introduce a new signature level knob developed for the mighty Silver Rock potentiometer. The standard bakelite knob is certainly the best sounding compromise... but now Audio Consulting has taken this aspect of the Silver Rock much further. The new knobs are custom made with beech wood and bronze where the bronze is used as the insert to mount to the stem of the volume pot. The beech wood is coated several times with C37 lacquer for best sound as pointed out by Dieter Ennemoser. How can this make a difference??? Well, hearing is believing as we always say. The sound becomes much more open and free flowing with a nice improvement in resolution. Dynamics are better and overall naturalness is improved. Here is a test for all you Silver Rock owners. Try removing the bakelite knobs and listen. You will be shocked by this! The signature knobs will have an even greater effectââ,¬Â¦really amazing! The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hearââ,¬Â¦way better sound!!

Well, if youre going to moan about the knobs, get the interconnects. Only $500 per channel, you cant get a better value than that! :D Now with oxygen free dynamic "timbre tubes"!

And the power conditioner, lest your high hat splashes be devoid of lustre due to rogue electrons!

power cleaners do work. this stuff is for people who have to much money.

i would rather learn the instrument to play the music, so i can hear all the dynamics through my fingers imo.
