| Do I need upgraded power cables? You will find members split on this question. Many believing power cables add to the sound and soundstage, while others will say it's all confirmation bias and PCs do nothing but move current from point A to B. Only your personal experience matt... | |
| Shipping costs- WTF When shipping, weight is a factor, but the size of the box is more problematic. There's only so much volume in a truck and many things can't be stacked. Shipping went through the roof during Covid and like many other things, has never come back ... | |
| Tubes and less sensitive speakers An inexpensive option would be a pair of PrimaLuna Evo 400 power amps in mono? Each is capable of running with 8 KT150 tubes in Triode or Ultra Linear mode. Just a thought. Cheers. | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. @asvjerry Interesting video Jerry. Kudos to you. | |

| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. @inna Here's another question along the same vein. Many members participate a lot, and yet, have not added their virtual system. Why Not? | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? Why don't they just produce an Audiophile grade White Noise LP? I can listen to my system and fix my tinnitus at the same time. 🤣 | |
| Best Compilation Discs Sinatra: The Capitol Years Joe Henderson: Blue Note Years Just to name two. The mining of record label archives has produced so many wonderful collections. | |

| Rule of thumb for used digital componants? When you say retail, are you talking about MSRP, or are you talking about the price we really pay for new gear? 60% of MSRP may be closer to 75% of what the seller actually paid new, and be far too much to offer for used? | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) "I recently sold a Bryston BR-20 brand new in the box and it took me 7 months to get 48% of MSRP" IMHO, the first issue is using the term "MSRP". I don't think anyone pays full retail for anything. I doubt any of us pay more than 80% of MSRP for... | |
| Best Exercise To Improve Capability Of Handling Heavy Amps @skids An Excellent Answer. We will spend $20K on an amp, and balk at spending $200 on a piece of equipment to move it around? I recently drywalled a basement. Paid $250 for a drywall lift from Amazon. If I never use it again, it was still wo... |
