| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? It's a number I don't say out loud 🤣. Being a little bit anal about my system cost, I run an Excel spreadsheet that follows all my additions and subtractions where equipment is concerned. I like to follow the "true" cost of my system. So, I buy... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @jerryg123 Sorry about that. Thought it was a liitle dig at me. We've chatted in the past and you know I don't have a problem with you or your views. No matter how wrong they may be at times. 🤣 | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @vonhelmholtz Thanks for that suggestion. As you can see from my rig, I'm not in the "anti cable" camp. I just really struggle to understand the value of the high end Power Cable as it defies my common sense. I'm sure I'm not understanding som... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power @vonhelmholtz Your answer, or non answer to be more correct is exactly why I have asked the question in the first place. I believe I articulated the question in readable english. But what I get back are accusations I'm trying to screw up this th... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @grislybutter My wife might say you're still not wrong in your original statement. 🤣 | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @dman1974 I'm also a big fan of buying used. If I can enjoy a high end piece of equipment for a year and move it on to a new home for close to what I paid, I'm very happy. The key has always buying at the right price. If you ever get a chance ... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @grislybutter I'm guessing you looked at by profile. Note the pics denote a progression. I had Ver 1.0 for 20 years. Each new version had equipment replaced. Still completing the final rig. (Ver 4.0) Have to admit the Bose IPod docking sati... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @dman1974 I struggle with the amount of equipment you have gone through in a very short period of time. By my math you have swapped speakers every 3 - months, and amps almost as often. Thats hardly past the break-in period for a lot of equipmen... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 I own the P8 with Apheta 3 cartridge and am very pleased with it. My two previous TTs were Music Hall and Thorens. The P8 is paired with the Parasound JC3+ preamp. Like most responses you will get, I like what I have. Can't see any reason you ... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @rocray With all the fake cables out there (just just over to the Fake Chinese Cable thread with it's 13 pages of comments) I would be very leary of buying on the used market thse days. Just saying..... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? @designtaylor I own and like Morrow cables. It looks like you are using their entry level product, MA1. If you want to invest in better quality interconnects, I suggest you wait for their Black Friday sale when the better cables will be 65% off ... | |
| Bad experience with an electrician @tomcarr That's just Baaaaaaaaaaaaad 🤣 | |
| Bad experience with an electrician Last week I bought what must be the worlds worst Thesaurus. It isn't just terrible, it's terrible. | |
| Dan D'Agostino S250 MxV enough power for Wilson Audio Alexia V Helgel H30 | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music Maybe off topic but I've always looked at who is playing on a disk I like and go in search of their recordings. Looking to expand as opposed to similar? It's worked well for me over the years. |
