| What a sad world we now live in....... There are more than a few reasons to dislike Walmart, but the biggest for me is that they sometimes censor the content on CD. Walmart’s clout in CD retail - at least at one time - meant record companies were willing to alter cover art, and even ed... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? daveyf I have owned and enjoyed my Jeff Rowland model 8 for many years ... I recently had the opportunity of comparing it ( after mods) to a few of the current ss models ... the Rowland held its own ... how far has the design of ss amps co... | |
| Best affordable Surge protector home stereo and my TV? millercarbonYou don't need a surge protector. What you need- what is missing from your list that will make a big improvement- well it depends on what you have. If your receiver has a detachable power cord then a better one will make a big dif... | |
| Furutech fuse noromance I find the prices of Synergistic fuses extortion. That's absurd. Extortion involves coercion, or force or the threat of force. Are you saying you suffered this before buying the fuse? | |
| Ticks Pops and Thumps from only one Channel fivechannelguy I have been noticing ticks and pops coming from only my left speaker ... Switching the phono cables switches the noise to the other speaker. When I put on a test record and listened to a dead portion of it, a thump came on a... | |
| Question about background noise millercarbonThe silence between tracks on records is highly variable ... Its nothing to do with cleaning or equipment, its just normal variations in the cutting process.Many things can contribute to noise on an LP, including dirt and a worn or... | |

| Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict? 1. Whole house surge protection.2. Multiple, de-rated, 20A dedicated lines.3. Separate lines for each amplifier (system is bi-amped)4.) Separate lines for analog and digital.5.) Every component goes into a power conditioner. | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? I do not think "most" audiophiles like distortion. Indeed, most audiophiles spend a lot of effort and money trying to reduce it, imo.But there are those who enjoy euphonic distortion. For example, one thread here got in to quite a bust-up when a u... | |
| cartridge cost/quality/performance cd318Nothing matters more than tracking performance. Especially that final furlong as you approach the run out groove..Actually, it's not inherently difficult to track an LP runout track. It's common for audiophiles to claim a cartridge "tracks... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. I have the Klaudio cleaner and have had no problem with loss of HF. The machine itself is a little noisy, but Klaudio makes a noise reduction cabinet for it which works quite well. | |

| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? I think "audio nervosa" and the image of the audiophile as on an endless path of upgrades and expense is just a stereotype. Sure, there are those who fit the stereotype, but it’s no more than that. Based on what I see, most people who own high-end... | |
