$485.00 volume knob
"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" http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=NOB_C37_C&Ca tegory_Code=VOLUME&Product_Count=2 WVK |

$485.00 volume knob
The "explanation" for this product is appended, it contains all the
"subjective" forms of "proof" and "rationalization". 1. "I hear it, I really really do, don't you believe me, don't you hear it too?" 2. "The difference is so great even my cat commented from the kitchen." 3. Ya see, here is the science, vibration and how humans hear; don't ya know? 4. the science works because of the materials, especially the "majic" paint on the wood, the latter being pure and organic and delevering whole round sound not found in the plastic version. 5. It costs so much it must be true, "what will the sucker pay, I I mean, you get what you pay for; ie. I gets your money and you gets the doodad." " Good vibrations, Bad vibrations its 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 effectreally 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 hearway better sound!!" |

The standard knobs can be retained if they are properly damped with special elastic treatment. I have a stock of special adjustable devices that stretch to fit any knob. These small bands of a rubber compound have an immediate audible effect, especially in the critical 2,000-2,250 Hz range. The sense of detail is greatly enhanced, and the date of the vocalist's latest haircut can be determined within +/- 4.5 hours. I can supply these special elastic dampers for only $375 per unit. They are available in an attractive tan color. Please send cash to my special offshore account. Chris Campbell ;) |
