| I keep being reminded of how much power cords mater @millercarbon I see a company offering "upgrade DC power supply wall warts". Would these also make a difference on a turntable or phonostage? | |
| Looking for subwoofer recommendations I recommend a sealed box design. You get better control over the cone [surround] for quicker response and accuracy. | |
| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? AD has passed on, God bless him. MF has retired. | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? Have any of you ever used "stereobuyers"? Full page ad in Stereophile. I am trying to sell My Vincent hybrid 150 Watt integrated which retailed for $2000 when I bought it. I was expecting $800 to $1000 for it as it is in Primo condition. They ... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Some close-miked recordings can fool you into thinking there are musicians in the room. Think Nils Lofgren's Acoustic Live. Or others like that. | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question The right way would be to couple, then uncouple. | |
| Aurender N20 Someone will always say you could have something just as good for less money. You should be happy with the aurender. They have probably sold thousands of these and it is rated very high. Plus there are thousands that love them! | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. I also agree to try room treatments first. Experiment with them in different places. To me, room correction is taking away your true sound and replacing it with something manufactured, I.e. fake. | |
| Dedicated circuits I, too, waited too long to upgrade the electrical path. Skeptical of SQ improvement. Well worth it. Hearing is believing. Especially if your system is true to the source. | |
| Upgrading power system I would have to guess that there is heavier gauge metal in the signal path of the outlet itself. The fuse in the breaker box is 20 amp rated and that is the only fuse in the power line. I need to feed a 250 wpc amp and a 1000 watt sub, and source... | |
| Upgrading power system Yes, 12/2 is the best I could get from my electrician. | |
| Upgrading power system It is on a 20 amp breaker. Does anyone know of an audiophile breaker switch? | |
| Upgrading power system @vonhelmholtz I do understand the concept. I really bought the Venom so I could plug in all my stuff into the dedicated line. It did not increase performance or hinder it either. The improvement in SQ came with the new 20 amp outlet. Speakin... | |
| Upgrading power system Thanks, people. I was thinking that the dedicated 20 amp line was getting pinched by the 15 am outlet. My power is pretty clean out in suburbia and an A/B test told me the Shunyata conditioner has very little if any effect [for me]. | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Supposing that you use a sub, try it moved forward and then backward during a listening session. Beside having the effect of the wall, you should be able to tell that time alignment does have an effect on the sound. [Adjustments on a Wilson will ... |
