| 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... | |
| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers I have owned a set of GoldenEar Triton Reference speakers and can state they are an excellant speaker and a great value. Highly recommend you give them a listen. Well under 10K new in the US. https://www.goldenear.com/products/triton-series | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? I'll go out on a limb and say I prefer some reconding on a much lesser system. A lot of Led Zep comes to mind. I find my very good system tends to highlight just how poor a lot of these recording were. I save them for my car. | |
| Placement of AMP and Turntable in-between speakers @socalml528 There are as many "rules" as there are people who will listen. I have tried many different ideas. One that worked well was the 20% rule. Take the length of the room and put the front of the speaker 20% off the back wall and centered... | |
| Placement of AMP and Turntable in-between speakers I've always questioned the issue of the equipment rack between the speakers. 1. The speakers are already further from the back wall than the equipment stand 2. The speakers fire straight down the line. Slight toe-in 3. The illusion of the "th... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @teo_audio the ride you got to take,and the ability to make investments and so on, was supported, nay enabled almost entirely- by the taking of the blood and life of others. Get a life. I am also Canadian and resent the implication that my own s... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @andy2 Where does that cash come from? In my case, and I expect most others on this site, it came from a lifetime of hard word, living below my mothly income so I always had something left to invest for my future, making prudent investments over ... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? And now that all the political nonsense is out of the way, let’s address the OP’s actual question. Is the price of high end equipment raising faster than inflation. YES. And the reason is very simple. Suppliers of any product will charge the maxim... |
