Bad news for audiophiles?
Hey toolbox,Have you ever personally tried any Synergistic Research products?Dave

Good to know, michelzay.I notice you mention modified MPCs. Are you referring to Michael Spallone’s mods? All of my MPCs have been modded by Michael and the improvement over the stock MPC or even the Galileo is phenomenal.I agree that power produc...

Hi michelzay,Tara Labs makes fine products and their "conditioners" are some of the best. This quality of power products is what I call "AC Enhancers" vs "power conditioners" to differential them from the "choke type" conditioners described accura... 
Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile.
What cartridge did you buy, o? Arm and table?The hardest thing for me is to try to eyeball (and I have found critical to best sound) is azimuth and VTA/SRA. I have a Fozgometer to dial in azimuth and my arm has "on the fly" VTA adjustment.Dependin...

"Power conditioners restrict power flow. That is just the nature of the beast. I don’t care who makes it they all work basically the same way. Get rid of it."Simply wrong. Synergistic Research Powercell 10/12 does not restrict current and works co... 
Need recommendation for a CD player
Which one? The 5910 or the T105? 
Why pay so much for super high end?
So is self indulgence.

Post of the Year, mesch. Congrats.Dave

Wow. I wonder if they are talking about hi-end audio over on the Existentialism Forum?

Hi henricai,Have you considered the Synergistic Research Powercell 12 UEF? More impact than a toroidal transformer and no filters to choke current. Comes with its own Graphene power cord and UEF receptacle.Dave 
Etta James - an appreciation
astro,Lana Del Ray=Beyoncé'.Try "Blues to the Bone". Etta at her peak and great sound quality.

jafant,Same answers from us no matter how many times you ask. Krell, Classe’, Ayre, Pass. Older gear in the case of the first two for sonics and all for affordability. Difficult finding them used in the showrooms. Time to pick a path?Best to you j... 
Class D Technology
Hi o,I know the early Belden cable, very good for XLR runs due to the inherent noise-cancellation characteristics of differentially balanced circuitry (not applicable for SE circuitry).  Once you get your room acoustics in order and you can really...

Class D Technology
Oh no, o!  Say it isn't so! What about the sonic influence of various dielectrics (smearing of the sound due to signal "absorption and release" time-misalignment), the winding geometry (reducing RF/EMI noise and phase shift), the use of active shi...
