blue jeans cable?
Monster cable really hurt the cable industry with some of the nonsense they did and such.  Better sounding cables are real, and you don't have to spend a ton.I've purchased 2 Blue Jeans cables, and they make decent entry level stuff.  For superior... 
WD-40 for electronics
I should clarify when I said that WD40 is not snake oil, I was meaning if you use it for its intending purpose, which is not electronics uses.  I've tried Stabilant 22A and it didn't turn into green goop, maybe the "A" was a refinement of the form... 
WD-40 for electronics
Just in case there was confusion, WD40 IS NOT SNAKE OIL.  There, I feel much better.  Oh, and DEOXIT!!Deoxit has solved many an issue for me.  I've used the D2, D5(more concentrated), Faderlube(for conductive plastic- some pots) and the Gold serie... 
Strong bass causing buzzing behind the wall
I've used this foam insulation spray on different occasions, and I'm going to have to call BS.  It does not exert pressure when it expands as jetter suggests.  Look up the "Great Stuff Pro" ad copy and you'll see they specifically say it, "expands... 
Strong bass causing buzzing behind the wall
Maybe they just did a poor job of installing, I really doubt that the foam could bulge 2x4 studs. 
Strong bass causing buzzing behind the wall
Jetter, the idea that this type of product can bend 2 x4 studs has not been my experience.  Are you speaking from experience, or just going by what you've read on the internet? 
Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?
The Schiit Audio site still has them in stock, apparently, while the Freya+ is listed as in backorder status.  Things I like about the Freya+ is the jaw dropping audio quality.True balanced design for my GungnirThe volume knob tracking with the re... 
Schiit not that Good?
jsautter, I guess you don't like Schiit Audio products then.  I suggest you buy whatever makes you happy.  The Freya + is the best pre I've heard, and it bested my gear from Parasound, Nad, Anthem and Denon while being much cheaper.  Many others a... 
Schiit not that Good?
Okay, list which Schiit Audio gear you've purchased and not been impressed with.  To make a claim like that, you've either had several pieces, or you're trolling.  Not sure what you're trying to say with the Tekton brand... 
Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?
On the Freya volume, there is a small explanation on the webpage about the relay switched stepped attenuator volume control.  128 steps, but I’m not sure how many dB per step. It sounds like much the same design as what’d in your dac, except with ... 
Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade?
Yeah, the Freya+ is for real, nice to hear impressions from another new owner.  Nice system btw, Maggies and the Oddyssey amp.  With the Freya's state of the art volume control, it might be worth it to try running the DAC at full volume and use th... 
adcom equipment.....
Happy holidays, now that we're past Christmas.  My aim has changed as the 565se owner didn't get back to me.  I made an offer on a 555ms here that got accepted, so I'll probably get my hands on it in the next couple of weeks.I remember a poster he... 
Best rock song of all times
The song Heroes was inspired by an incident when David Bowie was in Berlin and saw Tony Visconti (producer/engineer) kissing Antonia Maaß (backing vocalist) by the Berlin Wall. The Rolling Stone magazine described the song, "Bowie wails with craze...

Emotiva Repair
PS, if you need an Emotiva amp repaired by someone other than Emotiva, you’re just going to have to google electronics repair in your closest cities.  Then google the establishments for customer satisfaction and whether the BBB gives them a good r...
