| RIP oregonpapa Life is no soft affair. It challenges us. It rolls obstacles in our path. While there may be victory marches in our future, there will also—inevitably—be defeats and retreats, failures and foibles and funeral processions. We will suffer. We will g... | |
| Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!! From the ancient Stoics: For Marcus Aurelius, becoming powerful was not a measure of success. Neither was defeating invading tribes, or even becoming a philosophical genius. To him, the criteria for success were simple: displaying good charac... | |
| How much gear do you own? Yes I have too much stuff and a lot of it is audio gear. But as I am a discerning purchaser each and every piece paid me back in spades with enjoyment. It is coming to the time I will need to start downsizing. My music room is coming down the h... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity I have been intentionally reticent as I started this thread not as a "war game" but because I thought some here would enjoy the tiny bit it adds to our hobby. I also considered closing it as I understand that is my right as the OP. But, as you s... | |

| The Big Misconception About Electricity I must say you guys are doing a marvelous job of juggling dumpster fires. My head is spinning. Regards, barts | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity @imhififan I (foolishly) took the vid at face value and didn't dig any deeper. Reading the comments on YouTube is rather eye-opening. It's not going to change anything I do concerning wiring on my gear. Much appreciated that the comments her... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity @oldhvymec Back in the day when I was in the Marine Corps myself and another Sgt. rented a mobile home. Plenty of parties and the unique bit was the bare wires that hung from the soffit over the sink where obviously a light should be. Well, ... | |
| 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... | |
| Sonus faber center speaker as front? Take the stands off and try them vertically at the dealer. Honestly I don't think you will like them, but hey I hope you love them! Regards, barts | |
| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? @ozzy62 +1 It is a very slippery slope! I come here for ideas not to be preached to. Say whatever you like about an idea/equipment, just don't attack the person you disagree with. Everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten. Regards... | |
