| Newbie amp help......why? Be afraid... be very afraid... one false step here and you'll have fallen into the abyss of audiofoolishness, from which, few ever return.Sure... it's just a thought about adding an amp, or more subtley, just a harmless question regarding amps. Be... | |
| about to jump into the power cord foray Carl109 Being mindful or even skeptical isn’t a bad thing as it allows for caution and prudence. Don’t allow it to paralyze you however. There’s an amazing amount of pickiness involved in ‘audio nut-osis’. I feel it’s more the nut behind the wheel... | |
| about to jump into the power cord foray Rdylan As to DIY cords… many are just that but we’ve missed calling them OPDIY… and just pony up the bucks for’em instead. There’s a ton of power cords available for not much money… the key question remains though is it right for you and your syst... | |
| GIK Acoustic Treatments Adamg Thanks... it's cool. Sure I was disappointed at the results, especially after I offered to pay, twice, for the samples.However in my life everything always works out. I bought sufficient OC & Manley (?) rock wool to outfit two severe cor... | |

| about to jump into the power cord foray There are plenty of inexpensive alternatives in cabling people can acquire. If they will or not try them in their own system hangs in the balance. A still more difficult hurdle is acquiring ALL likewise cabling, I believe. Front to back, ‘same sam... | |
| about to jump into the power cord foray DougOne can be overcome by seriosity if one isn't careful. It can sure ruin an other wise fine system too.Mmakshak Nope… The 'Lost Medical Arts' aren't lost after all. Chicken bones, leeches, a petrie dish of maggots, & the occassional Newt ar... | |
| Power Cord for PS Audio Power Plant Premier? Just reflecting here . Ill assume you had none of the current stated audible irritation upper mid, lower treble issues before installing the PPP, correct? Ill also assume its well run in too, or in excess of 400 hrs. Im wondering too, if per... | |

| Any new ideas on an old theme? KnownothingUltimately, the least expensive gizmo I found which worked best under CDP & non spinning junk were those iso cups herbie's Audio Labs sold with the Ebony balls. Steve no longer has the Ebony balls and the cups are now of a different... | |
| Any new ideas on an old theme? Thanks so far to all and especially for the link too.KnownothingThanks.I too have, after some dedicated time, spent trying out different footers under components, found differing wooden types of either boards or blocks, do impact the sound.My rac... | |
