Measurements for a dedicated line
I got the Kaiweets off of Amazon. It is showing a voltage fluctuation between 119 and 122 volts. It is gradual throughout the day. The higher readings tend to be late at night when I favor what is coming out of the system. However, since injectiin... 
The Emperor Has No Clothes!!
There was some Formula One champion who said his main secret to racing success was "brake management" by which he meant using them as sparingly as possible in order to extend their functional life, and apparently he was a supreme master at doing t...

On my GanFET Audions the bass was so impactful that I had to disconnect one of the two hot wires to the REL S812's. This was advised by REL if your system has so much bass that is cannot play louder than position 5 on the REL volume knob without c...

I have had Audion MK 3’s for a few weeks now. It is the most educating experience I have ever had with a component. The difference that different cabling makes is much more apparent than it used to be. Moving around different brand cables within t...
