My Apologies to Miller Carbon

You suggested I leave my solid state components on all the time in spite of the trickle charge when off. Today after almost 2 weeks I heard better more solid lows, more air between the instruments, less hash, etc. Miller Carbon also introduced me to the Schumann Generators (2) which I also find helpful. I have very heavy Vandersteen speakers and am deliberating those suggested springs. Thanks MC

I think millercarbon knows his stuff and his recommendations are solid. You might not want to "go the distance" like he does but his path to the best sound is true.

I’m going all in on Townshend vibration isolation and F-1 cables as I’ve been wanting to upgrade my cables for awhile. I’ve had Townshend Seismic Sinks for a long time and believe in their products. I’ve seen plenty of nice system pictures with Townshend Podiums under expensive speakers so that has nothing to do with MC.

Vibration isolation matters. Whichever product you use is better than none I would imagine.

Going with Moneoone power cables as well.

I've had solid state Rowland Model 12 monoblocks since 2009 and I've never left them "on". They've always been in standby mode. I thought that was how it was supposed to be.

I never read it addressed in the owners manual that it is ok, or recommended, to always leave them on.

However, my Model 201 mono amp and Model 102 stereo surround amp ARE always on. There is only an on/off power switch in the back.

Things that make you go hmmmm.
