Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... @erik_squires Looking at your Frugal dual zone approach, I see 2 power strips plugged into 1 duplex power outlet. You say that makes a clean zone and a dirty zone. I thought the 2 zones meant 2 different circuits. But you have both of them on one... | |
Your first “high end” system Bought my 1st record when I was 9 yrs old. I had stereos since then. But my first stand out player was a system bought while in Charlotte, NC from a good Hifi Store. Harmon Kardon 730 receiver with Original Large Advent speakers &Technics TT .... | |
GREAT BARGAIN BUYS YOU'VE MADE OR KNOW OF I think Bob Latino's VTA ST-70 is a bargain IF you have efficient speakers. I have lived happily with mine for 10 years. It replaced a $4500 SS amp. | |
Just Skyline Diffusors Good info. The audiophile & woodworker in me are aroused. I'm eager to see the look on my wife's face when I bring it into the Living room as "Wall Art". | |
Trying to fix specific issues with my listening area FWIW, IMO, Its not that the AVR runs out of power. Its that it is built for movies. Dialogue & explosions are its main -product. It doesn't need to focus on the 20-20k hz the way that a 2 channel does. Consider it like a good off road vehicle... | |
Trying to fix specific issues with my listening area I too agree with Millercarbon. AV receivers do not generally do music well | |
Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) @skypunk @tablejockey has given you sound advice. A dedicated phono preamp is a must IMO. It should never be an after thought. It handles the most delicate signal. | |
What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @ebm I hear you. I've been back & forth on this brand for some time. That's part of the reason. The other part is that I have spoken to the "turkey" before and came away unimpressed then. Even so, I don't want to be unfair which is why I woul... | |

What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @stereo5 There is no trolling. The only deception you faced was your own. I had told you why I hadn't named the dealer and that I had not got a picture of the blemish despite asking for one. That's why I asked if you guys had read my posts. I su... | |
What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @stereo5 @ebm et alDo you guys EVER read the posts? How can I give you a picture when I don't have one? That's part of my complaint. As far as brand name needed, I don't buy it. I was born at night but not last night. Of course I understand the ... | |
Has Anyone Placed Power Conditioner On Its Face with the Power Outlets Facing Up? @erik_squires Apparently I didn't understand your 1st post. Your last one says, The reason a transformer hums has to do with the quality of the AC, and it's internal construction. If this is the case than it makes no difference how the box is ... | |
What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @michaela That’s one reason. But another is that I don’t want to bring disrepute to the dealer ...at least, not at this point. The poor service may be due to this silly shut down. I don’t know for sure. I'd rather let this play out before calling ... | |
What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish OK guys. I was planning on making them an offer. I was juts trying to determine what amount.
