| How to secure a large power cord to a piece of equipment? Plus 2 @chayro I have a block of wood under two of my PC connections. | |
| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig Just this morning, I was listening to the Bill Charlap Trio and smiling at the sound. @ghdprentice I rearranged my setup so I could plug the integrated into a separate outlet, and not in the power conditioner. To soon to tell, but I really like... | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. 2 channel is just stripped down AVR. I’ll have to remember that.😆 | |
| Monstrous power cables @audiodwebe I bought a Pangea, AC-9SE cord a few months ago and would be very interested how it compares to the $1000 cord. Maybe I missed it, but what is the $1000 cord you are referring to? All the best. JD | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? On a more serious note, I also bought a pair of the Ohm 2’s for $7xx. Between improvements and inflation the new Ohm 5’s cost almost 5 grand with shipping and handling. | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? Maybe it had nothing to do with the speakers. Maybe the stands were made of Unobtainum? 😀 | |
| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? Plus 1 @erik_squires Another question, do you use LED lights on a dimmer switch? Not sure why, but I’ve issues when I used an outlet on the same circuit for a HT receiver. All the Best. JD | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 - Susceptible to Noise? Two houses ago I had intermittent noise so I bought an Audience AR-6 and it helped a lot. Then we moved to a new subdivision that was a cow pasture just a few years before. Everything electrical was new and buried and I had absolutely no power pro... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? @roxy54 , Some of us did. 😄 “When I started the thread, I assumed that everyone would name the brand and model of the speakers, not just the height and weight. I think that makes it much more interesting.” | |
| Cd transport @zappas About 6 months ago, I bought a Audiolab 6000cdt and was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds. Even the remote is pretty good. All the best. JD | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions @shtinkydog If you’re saying it’s because they only have one set of binding posts, most of the amps suggested don’t have multiples. Back in the day, I built a couple of A/B boxes because so few amps had more than one set of speaker connections. ... | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? Interesting question. Back in the day, a remote would trigger mechanical relays, servos or motors to increase/decrease volume or change a input. Today some of it’s the same, but… | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? @mapman How do you like the Ohm’s? I never got a chance to hear them for myself.☹️ | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Kef Reference 5’s 133# and 53+ Inches tall. | |
| Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses OP, Question, does it do it on Radio Paradise as well? I have the new 2021 Node. It’s my second one because the first one did just that, but all the time and on everything. Returned it and got another one and it can go for weeks without a probl... |
