High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
@ddraudt thanks.  I remember when I first started using high fidelity products and how much it changed my system.  Just better transparency. Just better depth.  Just closer to the music.  Rick pushes the limits!

I plugged my integrated into another power conditioner and the music lost air and soundstage depth. The mc 6 draws the music out.

Hey fellas, I currently have my resonessence mirus  dac plugged into the Mc6 power conditioner. It added transparency to the mirus. The mirus was already great but when I put it with the mc6 it was spooky great. Gave instruments more air and even ... 
Good CDs Bad Recording
Yup. Miguel Zenon. Alma aldentero: The Puerto Rican Songbook. Marsalis music label. Great material and musicians but recording a little bright and thin.  It's a shame because you can hear the guys become one with the music but the recording can't ... 
What's going on with the audio market?
Fixate on audio. Politics has nothing to do with it. Anyway. This hobby takes your time and money. I think the prices are so high it becomes Benz or audio.  House or audio.  College tuition or audio.  It is insane. I say it now but I was in the sp... 
What's going on with the audio market?
Yup Obama is too blame for the bad audio market the last 8 years. It always comes back to Obama.  No Obama no audio problem.  Anyway. Make higher quality better priced gear and it could grow again.  
What's going on with the audio market?
Changes in listening habits, formats etc.. You have to replace the older audiophiles with new ones eventually and the price of some of this gear is crazy. I just want to enjoy the music and not obsess over it. Streaming, high prices, less real mus... 
HESITANT with NEW member sellers
I almost got scammed about 11 years ago on a car and the sad bar is I am a lawyer.   My ears perked up only because of what I do for a living.  About 6 years ago a guy from overseas tried to run a scam on the sonus faber speakers I wanted. He had ... 
What's going on with the audio market?
Ok fellas, I think you guys all make valid points in the audio direction as far as gear and sales.  I'm a young 43 I been in the hobby for the last 8 years. I went to the top of the heap pretty fast I went from gear to gear.  I heard Dave baskin's... 
What's going on with the audio market?
Yup.  It's music here not politics.  I still enjoy the new music coming out and some of the new gear is great.  I hope this hobby doesn't kill itself by overpricing gear. 
What's going on with the audio market?
Not a class discussion.  I can buy what I want for the most part but nobody wants to put a new car into their system. Nor should they have to. I'm pretty much done on the big purchases. I'm pretty much done on the behavior of some of our audiophil... 
Why is an XA30.5 a bad match for Revel Ultima Salon II speakers?
Had the studio 2.  You need more power.  Revel sounds great but with more power.   They sound better.  
What's going on with the audio market?
Yup.  This is not a political discussion. But I tend to feel a lot of back in the day vibe here. Failure by companies and the older audiophile communityto step into the new times is also key.  This generation wants choice of music over sound quali...

Now it makes since. The only reason why comments were made about the high fidelity adapters is because Tara Labs is supposedly coming out with some. Everyone knows that you know who is a big fan of those.  I just wish people would post just about ... 
What's going on with the audio market?
I'm pretty much done.  I'm 43. No more major purchases for me
