| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Depending on your budget, I am pretty happy with my Lumin U1 mini with an external linear power supply. | |
| Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner? I use a PS Audio P20 for the last few years and have found it to be a great addition to my kit. Larger sound stage, more micro detail, lower noise, also, because of the low impedance, there is more openness on loud dynamic passages. I am using A... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. My ears tell me that my P20 reduces system noise and it's low impedance makes it easy for my power amp to handle signal peaks and do its job. I have listened to my system with and without the P20 and for me, the P20 is a great addition, it truly ... | |
| Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers The most expensive parts are not always the best sounding part to put in a circuit. There are synergies with components. | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? Works for me. Big fan of F1. Had a chance to see a few live. Awesome! I have enjoyed the Netflix Series also. | |

| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. Never had an issue with either Audiogon or US Audiomart. That said, I always did my homework on the sellers or buyers. Also, if anything seemed a bit odd regarding the transaction, such as involving a 3rd party or something like that, I cut bait... | |
| Do good power cords have to be stiff? Black Sand Power Cables are very flexible and a good value. Currently using Audioquest Hurricane's in my system. Their Litz geometry makes them somewhat flexible. The Audioquest Storm series is the only cable I have used that made a immediate a... | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... Check out BAT. | |
| All I Wanted To Do Was Listen To Music Just have your dentist put in some RF sensitive fillings. You won't need any of that other stuff. You will have music 24/7 in your head. | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers You might want to put your sub in your listening position and then move to various points of the room and listen for the best sound. Then simply put the sub in the location where you were located. | |
| preamplifier after preamplifier? I use the high level inputs on my Rel S5 Sho subs. I have them connected directly to my amp outputs. Works great. I believe it is actually sonically better. |
