Directional wires/cables Some cables are shielded in such a way to be directional as well. One end may be grounded and other is floating for instance. | |
What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost? It’s not a linear equation. It is a series of simultaneous equations: Great gear Great room dimensions and construction Proper speaker and listener position set-up Proper room tuning Commensurate cabling that extracts the best from the gear ... | |
NSFW pop ups. C'mon Audiogon, get it together. I use Opera and it blocks everything you ask it to. No spam for me. I will admit Edge can be faster, but I get so much less spam and advertisements. My son set me up with it - as a gamer he only wants the game and no distractions. I like it so far. | |
Frank is gone. AVA lives on! @wideload Did you also snuggle with his cat? Frank always had a cat hanging around the house. Two of us from work were in Minny one week and we stopped in to visit Frank and company. He was of course playing Salk speakers in the shop. I wish I co... | |
Any Nashville enthusiasts? For those who navigated the hurdles I have sent out an email today. | |
Any Nashville enthusiasts? I have left bread crumbs for folks to get onto the email list which is now at 9 but it could be more. I'll send out an email soon so we can chat among ourselves offline and get some listening sessions going. | |
Power Distribution - to separate source components from amplification? Every component in my system is plugged into the PSM156. I've tried amps into the wall or other devices and heard no advantage. Work for me anyways. Quiet power cables help quite a bit. I presently switched to SR power cables and found them to be ... | |

In short I was not a big believer in power cables but am now. Synergistic Research are predominant in my system now on the power side. My system page lists all the cables I have t... | |

ADD Powr Products opinions please. @ozzy One of them is directly over my dac and I can't say it does anything. The other is over my amp. Besides those 2 all that is left is Aurender or tubed preamp. | |
ADD Powr Products opinions please. I have 2 Wizards but cannot say they are giving me any positive impact. What devices are most impacted by the proximity to these boxes? | |
Any Nashville enthusiasts? @deeelbee @pix4work @sunshdw Check out my TN systems page and toggle the details for the whiz bang device | |
got my PayPal 1099 /// what now? I'm very curious if "General Payment" which should be Friends and Family according to my records (dates and amounts) will be ignored as income. I see some of my monies received labeled as Mobile Payments which were supposed to F&F may count a... | |
got my PayPal 1099 /// what now? Looks like the threshold for 2024 is $5000. @herman Did Paypal itemize the transactions for you or just give you a totaled number and you have to figure out which items add into that total? | |
got my PayPal 1099 /// what now? Pretty sure receipts are not necessary unless audited. Otherwise I have been prepared for this day by tracking every purchase and sale for the last 5 years. I keep every Paypal receipt, every shipping receipt, photos, every posting I sold or boug... |
