| synergistic research orange blue fuse direction. OK, I’ve been waiting for someone else to ask the obvious “dumb” question, but since none of you are volunteering, here goes: if it’s an AC signal, why does the directionality matter? | |
| Watts and power In a way, I like @millercarbon's answer, despite leaving me with the feeling that there really are no good answers. So far, that squares with my experience; any time I think I see a correlation between any particular amp parameter and the quality... | |
| Has anyone heard a DNA-1 with the Gravity Base upgrade? From the absence of replies, it looks like you're not the only one. C'mon, Goners, nobody's heard one of these yet? Crickets... | |
| Has anyone heard a DNA-1 with the Gravity Base upgrade? @br3098 thanks for your response; I didn't realize I was unclear. I was referring to McCormack Audio's Gravity Base System upgrade, which involves taking apart the amp and integrating the electronics with a brass base in a specific way. I had ne... | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance @millercarbon -- thanks, as usual, for your clear and useful advice; just wish I had read it before buying AZ Tsunami's! | |
| Please Make Audiogon Cool Sorry Erik, until we can get people to stop sniping at each other on this forum, I'm afraid 'cool' is a lost cause. I'm not holding my breath. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? @erik_squires Good point on the importance of the DAC; which do you use in your system? | |
| A21 vs McCormack? Everyone -- thanks for your responses; it's a big help in deciding how to move forward.@labtec: thanks for your detailed message and suggestions. I'm having some trouble with my DNA-1 now, so I don't want to put this off any more; the issue was w... | |

| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Egglestonworks Emmas; I heard them last month at T.H.E. show, where they were selling for $5500. Best speakers I heard under $10K. | |
| Where do I start!?! I wouldn't sell it, if for no reason other than family harmony. And you owe your FIL one BIG Christmas gift this year!!! Enjoy what you have, and invite your friends over. ;-) | |
| Help choosing speakers If you like the Egglestons but can't afford the Pearls, you should try to find a demo of the Emma's -- they were offered for $5500 at the show in Long Beach, and were the best speakers anywhere near that price range. | |
| Upgrade McCormack or... Great responses -- I had no idea there were so many McCormack fans on Agon! @soix Thanks for your suggestion to check out the Clayton Audio M70 monos -- they do look like an interesting replacement, although I have to wonder why the owner is sel... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? I don't own any Bryston gear (yet), but was recently at T.H.E. Show in Long Beach, and my favorite room in the "moderately affordable" sector showcased a pair of Eggleston Emma's ($5500) with all Bryston electronics. It sounded so good, I'm now w... |
