Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
The audiotweak makes some very good points.There is most definitely a point at which you can over damp and make the sound lifeless. This not only applies to vibration control but even to RF and EMI filtering. Unfortunately there is only one way to... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Pettyofficer,SSD may help if you are worried. I am sure the magnetic drive will last long enough to be backed up.I was under the impression that CDs if kept under the correct conditions were said to last 25years. This may refer to the writable one... 
upgrading Apogee Duetta speakers
I did this journey with Duetta sigs and Divas. They sounded epic when completed. You have a lot to play with.I would get the ribbons replaced with Graz new ones which are far superior to the originals. Tighter more dynamic, refined and take more p...

Thank you Calloway. Although I am not sure I understand your punctuation. "chadeffect..i wouldn't throw too many..." Why the two full stops after chadeffect?And surely the "i" should be a capital letter?How is the glass at your place? 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Dear Pettyofficer,We don't need a professor to teach basic English. Although I am wondering if we need a highly qualified professor in psychology to work out what your angle is?Your above post and its issues have been answered so many times now.MP... 
Best way to eliminate "common mode" noise from AC
Roscoeiii,Sorry I was meaning other balanced power units. Martin Glasband of Equitech known for his experitise with balanced power...To add to my embarrassment I thought Furman made a balanced power unit that had a clever earth isolation system as... 
Best way to eliminate "common mode" noise from AC
Gbart is correct regarding PS audio, but if you are concerned why not go for balanced power?Furman make some balanced power units. Remember the new PS audio regenerators are pretty efficient.

Pettyofficer,zzzzzzz. Get a grip and stop smoking whatever it is that makes you crazy!For gods sake learn to write in paragraphs. If you are worried about the loss of CDs I'm concerned about the loss of the use of written English.Multichannel down... 
What Amp with KEF 105.2?
It's been a very long time since I had a pair, but they did like power. Why not find some ICE power or a hypex? The bass will be awesome and transparency 2nd to none.Check the caps in the xover. A modest modern cap will bring extra detail and remo...

Oh Petty, how I enjoy you crazy rants. Solar flares aside (in which obviously you would have no power let a lone audio!) all s well.Before getting you into digital HD streaming, I hope I can encourage you into the use of paragraphs and punctuation. 
Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter
Ps audio regeneration is hard to beat, but I must admit the Audio magic is excellent too. I found the audio magic to with SET amps keeps a little more harmonic richness although ps audio regeneration with multi wave is almost as rich but with slig... 
Avantgarde Trios too loud with my amps
Just to add to the good advice above, bare in mind you are in a realm where finally you don't need mega $ over the top amps. The circuits should be so simple that the part count is in the 10s!I praise The Lord when a flea power amp the price of an... 
Avantgarde Trios too loud with my amps
Zd542,You make some very good points if keeping the BATs, but the very quality these speakers show so clearly can only be found in flea power. Otherwise you may as well go back to low sensitivity speakers. We are in pretty specialist waters here. ...

Just when life was about to get dull here is Petty. I needed more practice in typing.Well we survived the Mayan 5,125 year cycle. I wonder if Petty will continue his trip as long? I for one would not be surprised.Tape indeed Pettyofficer! The only... 
Avantgarde Trios too loud with my amps
Why not try the kind of amps the Trio allows you to use? You do not need all that power. 2-25w is plenty. All that push pull and extra amplification stages only eat into the organic ness and beauty that small simple amps will give you. With the ki...
