Soundstage wider than speaker placement?
My setup produces a sound stage that is wider than the speakers on almost all of the source material that I own. The only exception that I can think of it an old Nat King Cole CD. The gear is not expensive but the speaker placement is a little dif...

I will have to go with pure copper for this one. 
Why Is Krell the a bad work???
Khrys: Thank you for putting my mind at ease. For an instant I thought that I was imagining things:-)

Khrys: Aren't you a girl, female - lady? No offense either way. I had assumed that you were but sometimes see you referred to as a guy.

Cornfed: I know what you mean about the ones that grab you right away with their dazzle or excessive smoothness. I have always used certain source material whether it was vinyl, in the beginning, or CD now, and listen to specific notes and instrum...

Retro: In regard to how long does it take to assess a piece of gear, I consider myself to be a "quick study" and I assume that many others are as well. I am also not an audiophile by any means. I spent 30 years listening to and playing live music ... 
The best upgrade I ever made!
Sean: would you share the source and/or makes of other small "source" isolation transformers. I have a linen closet just below the breaker box that would be able to contain an additional transformer if it were properly encased and shielded, though...

Hi Brulee: I do not have clearence for the Mapleshade footers. However I did find out what was destroying the sound this morning in the daylight. The heavy power cord to my player/transport had wedged itself against the wall and was not hanging fr...

Which SILVER cables sound best?
Once again, I use the Homegrown Super Silvers as analog IC's in my system and they have plentiful bass, detail and are smooth instead of being bright. They also balance very nicely and have done so with the past two sets of speakers that I have us...

What were you expecting Retro? This is a gear site. We do discuss music as well, but it is mainly about sharing information on how the gear portrays the music. In other words I understand the music that I listen to but need a little help on the eq... 
The best upgrade I ever made!
Thanks Tkmetz: The wall socket is ten feet from the equipment and I already use an extension cord. A plug in unit sounds easy, but I would also consider having it spliced in at the breaker box to get the unit away from me and my wife as well as th... 
The best upgrade I ever made!
Tkmetz: Can this be utilized in an apartment without a dedicated line? I do have a breaker box located in my apartment that switches the line that I use for my gear and wonder if it could be added at the switch/breaker box. I live in LA (West Holl...
