| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Just to end this discussion (for me anyway), I will do my ultimate comparison. I have purchased 70 feet of Romex 10/2 Simpull wire and ordered Furutech GTX-D(R) Duplex Receptacle, FI-32M(R) Plug and 106-D-NFC Receptacle Cover. Now I know the 10/... | |
| Turn off or leave on? It seems to me that many tube equipment manufacturers recommend that equipment not be left on while "unattended", due to the (small) risk of fire hazard should a tube fail. Not sure how well I would sleep at night knowing my tube mono blocks coul... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... I’m going to go out on a limb here. Let’s all stop our bitching about politics and paying taxes. We should all just thank (insert name of your preferred fictitious character here) that we have incomes and need to pay taxes. Millions out there w... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today I am an owner of the Fidelium cables (8 ft pair). I purchased them after reading many testimonials of the great sound improvement, and who doesn’t want that. I was using a pair of XLO Signature3 - 5.2 (8 ft). Jeff was offering a money back guar... | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 Eleven? There's only one good use for that number. Maybe the funniest bit ever? | |
| Dust cover up or down? This question reminds me of a previous statement. "I keep a Polka Greatest Hits" LP on the TT when not in use. It's great for keeping dust off the platter. 🤣 | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @audition__audio I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. I'm meant what I said. If the improvment in sound is as great as the many, many posters suggest, then I should be able to hear it. Still no one is addressing the elephant in the room. HOW doe... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @vair68robert @audition__audio What I'm asking for is some hard science to explain how an outlet, placed before the power conditioner, phono preamp, preamp, amp and speaker can have any impact on the sound. All of the equipment has filters to ... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Someone please explain these Furutech claims to me. All the wall plug is doing is passing electricity from the main power cable to the plug on my amp or power conditioner. That power than travels through various filters in my equipment, is trans... | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers My current speakers are a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll in burled walnut. I would put the quality of these cabinets against any speaker on the market today. Not just because I own them, but because they are a work of art. That is not t... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle My comment is based on the many other upgrades I have paid for, and heard no difference at all. But I will in fact go out and buy a better plug, and wait to be blown away by the sonic improvement in my system. 🤣 | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Yet one more product I would like to see in a blind testing. My gut feeling is no one would be able to hear the defference between a $3 standard house outlet and a $300 audiophile plug. Just saying...... | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name Well, that's 16 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Just a couple points I take issue with. 1. The idea that equipment that looks great isn't real audiophile? 2. You want me to take you seriously when you lead with statements like "I don't ... | |
| What should I expect after installing a new power management system? What is wrong with the power in your area that would require you to spend this kind on money on power conditioner? | |
| A Plug For a Power Cable and a Retailer @facten Shipping was $60 and the box arrived with nothing owning. Sometimes you get lucky. I'm in Canada so the last leg of the journey was handled by Canada Post. The odd time customs get involved I just have to pay the 5% sales tax that wou... |
