My wife is pissed, she’s gotta get new dryer ductwork now…😂😂😂😂  
Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
I have a decidedly mid-fi bedroom system, NAD C700, Cullen Cable Gold Series power cable, into a Furman Powerstation 8 Digital Linear Power/Surge Protector, then into a hospital grade receptacle.  I can detect no difference between directly into t... 
Are You a Swifty?
Though I haven’t bought any of her products. I do like her music. My niece went to one of her concerts and was out of her mind with praise about how good and interactive it was, as well as legitimately lasting 3 hours. I do sometimes listen to her... 
A Tale for Your Bemusement
Great story!  
Rigid outlets for Heavy cables
Thanks Eric, never knew these existed, ordering some soon!  
Opinions on NAD please

What to ask when buying used speakers?
I’ve bought 5 pairs of speakers used, 2 Monitor Audio (1 Gold/1 Silver), 1 Zu Audio, 1 Vintage Cerwin Vega, 1 Vintage Sony, no problems whatsoever.  Asked if there were ANY imperfections in the cabinets or drivers, ANY issues with the sound, ANY p... 
My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions
jcs01:  Qobuz has, in the opinion of a great very many, better SQ than any iteration Tidal or Spotify.  I feel the same way in my admittedly MidFi setup.
