Shocking Lampizator Service
It’s not Lampizator customer service that’s impressive, but how many people have reported they had issues just on this thread alone. Good to know.   
Nordost Tyr2 vs Valhalla1 Powercord
@joeyfed55 just wondering what power cords you have on your components. In my opinion, a pair of Tyr 2 power cords may be overkill powering the speakers. You’ll get cleaner bass without a doubt and probably some improvement with the panels. But a ... 
Nordost Tyr2 vs Valhalla1 Powercord
I would not do it. Be patient and find a Tyr 2 cord in same length. Never a good idea to power amplifiers with different cords.   
First hand experience (stories about room treatment) needed
Unlike @jaytor my room is pretty small(15x13). Mike from GIK focused on bass traps and addressing the firs reflection points. All absorption. And it makes sense - the room is not large enough forbthd the diffusors to be effective. The bass traps I... 
First hand experience (stories about room treatment) needed
I worked with Mike Major over at GIK Acoustics. I sent Mike the dimensions and pictures of my room and he provided a recommendation that was pretty much dead on. I just completed it yesterday by installing ceiling panels. Take a look at my system ... 
My thermostat plays Jazz and I don't know what to think about that.
Excellent! I bet it sounds quiet warm now that your AC is fudged. Try some vibration control under the heat pump and let us know if you hear any improvement.   
Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits?
What’s turntable and cartridge got to do with a question about amplifier stands?  
So how do these new bots make money?
Few examples… 1. Push certain products generating traffic to those websites  2. Collect responses and using artificial neural network machine learning, feed the collected data to analytical models to evolve and increase effectiveness so that the... 
Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits?
dinov 654 posts 07-04-2023 at 07:29am  Yes, and well isolated from your main rack. +1 excellent point!  moving the amp out of the main rack either onto the floor or an amp stand always resulted in improvement in my system. More room to br... 
Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits?
Not sure if casters are a great idea under the amp stand and may nullify the benefits by reducing stability I use SolidSteel S3-A amp stand and it’s pretty good. Did I notice any improvement in sound? Not sure. Never A/B’d before and after. They ... 
Digital front end upgrade options
Node will likely be a noticeable improvement over your current setup but the Lumin D2 would be a big step up   
Digital front end upgrade options
Mr. .45 ACP….Lumin U1 Mini is a pure streamer. You would need a DAC and going from U1 Mini into your AQ cobalt would be a potential waste of resources. If you like a one box solution, some of the options include, Lumin D2, HiFi Rose, Ever Solo (se... 
Baffled by Pricing Strategy
Possible strategy to deter low ballers and tire kickers. I’ve not had one occasion where I wouldn’t accept a fair offer or my fair offer would be rejected by the seller irrespective of asking price.  
recomendations please - RCA's/Speaker cables for Supernait3 from Node?
You can get Acoustic Zen Hologram II sp cables and Matrix Ref II interconnects used in that price range. I don’t know how it will sound with Naim amp. But these are excellent cables for the money.   
Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects
@w123ale keep trying different cables. I would highly recommend Kimber KS 1126. Excellent balance top to bottom, air, dynamics, resolution, great tone and musicality in spades. You can pick up a used set for the cost of new Cardas Cygnus and try t...
