| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains Even if you use whole house surge protection you can still use a power conditioner. There are other good ones besides panamax it's just what I have always used. I didn't mean don't try different things like removing the conditioner as has been ... | |
| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains I moved to a patio home a couple of years ago after retiring. My room now is my living room and I'm using one of the outlets on the living room circuit. I have a newer panamax I bought when I moved in. I can detect no noise issues, the background ... | |
| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains With a power condition you are removing mains noise which will show up as a hiss or static sound. Turn your volume up with nothing playing to see if you have a problem. Panamax also sells service entry surge protection if you want to go that route... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion I never wore bell bottoms either thought they looked silly except on sailors and a shapely lass or chick as us yanks would say. | |
| Can we talk streamers based on UI rather then SQ? If you're using Roon you can use their interface for your local library. I run ROCK which is Roons OS on an Intel NUC and use a raspberry pi4 running Ropiee for an endpoint. You can use the Roon interface on Windows, Mac and Linux devices. | |
| Persona 3fs - Need advice for 2.1 or 3.1 system in bedroom I have the Anthem Integrated STR I paired with Joseph Audio Perspectives G2 and the sound is incredible. I used to have an Anthem 225i with the Paradigm 85f and in a room the size you're using would blast you out of it at half volume. The ARC room... | |
| Do cables need to be re-broken in? Reverse the polarity and it will reverse the reversal of not being used. | |
| Another streaming newbie The modi 3 is their best value and is a good dac for $100. Used Node2i would be easy way to start streaming or a raspberry pi4 if you are comfortable assembling a small computer or you can get them ready to go for about $300. | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? The naysayers propose (perhaps, project), that, "audiophiles" are too ignorant, inept or deaf, to make a change, in their systems, listen to it and determine if it (whatever it is) makes enough difference, to them, to purchase (a simple experiment... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? I think Nixon called some guy in a gas station in Utah. | |
| power cord directionality If solid core wire is directional who figures out which way it goes when wiring a house? | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Well if I could figure gravity out and unify it then I will accept my "Noble" prize when the pandemic is over if I am still alive. | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? But we can do experiments showing gravity exists. I am not sure he said gravity can't be explained perhaps it was we don't really know what gravity is? We can explain the affects of gravity but what it is made up of, gravitons? Who knows. | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? I have no doubt, he’d have EXPERIMENTED with it! I have no doubt the experiments would have been scientific experiments where variables are controlled. If you dismiss the scientific process why corrupt the memory of a scientist to support uns... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? You have a beautiful theory. Expensive aftermarket power cords improve the sonic ability of the component. Now tell us about the experiments used that agree with the theory? Did any of them disagree with the theory? Could the theory be falsified?... |
