| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat Ahhh! So THIS is where the Dunning Kruger participants hang out?! | |
| Is is wise to set Power Conditioner on its front rather than on it's bottom. Thanks Guys@ebm I will set it upright cause I'm terribly allergic to stupidity. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Grand Funk Railroad - Grand Funk (Red Album) & Phoenix. Both Great Albums. GFR SHOULD BE in the R&R Hall Of Fame, yet they have been overlooked BIG TIME. | |
| Audiophile demographics? She bemoans the fact that I've made her into an audiophile in terms of assessing the sound quality instead of just listening to the music Why can't she/you do both? This idea of just listening to the equipment is what many accuse audiophiles of... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @rcronk Thanks. I'm just a tad younger but was an early Zeppelin fan from 69 when their 1st album came out. Same with Sabbath. These along with Iron Butterfly, Grand Funk, and other hard rock groups were staples of my music diet. My experience is ... | |
| Audiophile AC Outlets I installed an Oyaide R1 about 15-18 yrs ago and haven't looked back. Tried an Arrow Hart before that. It was an improvement over the cheap outlets I had previous. But the R1 was a big improvement. | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned I'll chime in though pretty much everything has been said. I hope the mfg will do the right thing and fix the amp free of charge. You bought it direct from him. I think he sent a faulty product.. Best to you. | |
| Audiophile demographics? @linndrum888 they know it's the music which is the thing, not the gear. I've heard this said before and it never has made any sense to me. Of Course the music is "the thing". But HOW do you get the music without the gear? You DON'T. So the gea... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report New Riders of The Purple Sage - "The Adventures of Panama Red" Wow. I forgot I even had that one.Barefoot Servant - S/T (John Butcher) Great album produced at the wrong time (1994?) Good blues/ rock | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? I generally have no interest in female vocals & certainly not the easy listening kind. Joplin is certainly a talent that comes to mind. Dale Krantz (Rossington) may be my favorite with her work with Rossington Collins. Nancy Wilson of Heart co... | |
| Wish I had put more emphasis on cables earlier @hilde45 The "try it and see" people get scorched by the "well, once you spend the money you have to believe it" I see that argument too and it seems quite illogical since many if not most offer a 30 - 60 day return. If they want to KNOW whether ... | |
| Wish I had put more emphasis on cables earlier Wow. Maybe I can get in before the naysayers make the thread worthless. I was skeptical as most are. Especially about PC. But I've come to understand that everything counts. One mistake I may have made early on when I bought my cables is putting a... | |
| Need Tubes @mktracy "JJ gold pins" JJ doesn't make a 6h30p tube. Now the EH have gold pins. | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. I have about 4500 albums now that I got back in the early 2000's. Generally cost me no more than a dollar apiece. Don't know the market today but I know a good album upon visual inspection. Learn the Goldmine standard. It will be accurate. No need... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? There are 2 that stand out. Both are amps. The 1st was in 1978, I bought a Harmon Kardon 730 receiver with Original large advents. I never realized how good that thing was until I went to replace it. The Luxman I bought to do so was so anemic, I e... |
