| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner I bought my old Hydra 4's (with the Trident Defense) used on Ebay about 5 years ago. Current prices are the same as when I bought mine - about $900.00. They can come in very handy especially when the local grid is sagging. They are also a handy pl... | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? A word to chronic skeptics of everything at all - please come up with some better and less cliche snark. We need better entertainment. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? I am now on day four of the Audio Magic Masterpiece M2 Fuse. I don't have a streamer - just a one disc at a time CD transport - so I have been unable to give it a 3 weeks of constant playing style burn-in, but this fuse has been enlightening. A mo... | |

| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? The Most Beautiful Birdsong This music was created by an ancient kind of AI called Punctuated Evolution "In contrast to the expectation of gradual change through cultural or genetic drift over time, the results instead demonstrate that plastic t... | |
| Humour Oh, that's cold. | |
| The (never ending) Quest For “More” Some of us are first and foremost music lovers who do have funds to devote to the hobby. Our sincerest apologies. | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles Hey, is AI masquerading as @asvjerry? | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist Steely Dan and The Beatles advanced the notion that immaculate studio work could make very exultant music. | |
| Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner In my experience, Shunyata conditioners require a loooong burn-in. I am using some ancient Hydra 4's which definitely have their uses, but I have heard new conditioners that sound like they need more burn-in. |
