| The Big Misconception About Electricity @djones51 You watched that YouTube video and came away with the notion power cords and cable elevators make audible differences in stereo systems? Seriously? No. My ears tell me or maybe its my ear/brain interface, in any case "I don't care"... | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like At a Dead show many moons ago I saw Mickey Hart play some pieces of what MC is speaking to. And agree that at first it is amelodic and then (given the always incredible sound system) it begins to grow on you and ends up quite fascinating. The fl... | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like I was considering starting a thread very similar to this one, you beat me to it. I'm of the opinion that many 'philes go for what sounds good on their system and happens to be in their wheelhouse. Some of you remember the days when an audio demo... | |
| Fancy Fuse for Regenerator? Paul McGowan stated he was shocked that changing out the stock PC in the P20 regenerators made a clearly audible difference in their Music Room 2 system. I thought it was a pretty brave thing to say...when you consider the P20 is supposed to make... | |

| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? Does any one here have direct knowledge concerning the type/brand of power conditioning that hi-end component manufacturers use? Pretty obvious that PS Audio uses their house brand.

| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? My first experience with a "satellite/sub-woofer" system was about 50 years ago. It was the M&K (Miller & Kreisel?) system. I was blown awayby it. And I had heard quite a few not quite full-range systems. As a kidit was difficult to get... | |
