Do I need a power conditioner?
Congratulations on the 2RQ, that's a very nice unit. It is clear from all of the comments here that there are a lot of misconceptions about the power that drives our systems. No one is at fault, it just takes a lot of research to understand it. Pl...

Why pay so much for super high end? Well simply.......because. 
Do I need a power conditioner?
I have always been a fan of balanced power. The term "power conditioner" is a generic term in my opinion. Just what does that mean? It sounds like something you apply to your hair after shampoo. I highly recommend the following presentation, not s... 
Recording quality...
This has always been a challenge. We assemble incredible sound systems  and yet source material is just as important. Tell you what, I'll take those old Ampex recordings any day. Just listen to "Time Out"  from Dave Brubeck. This was recorded in t...

MSDS Sheets For Shipping Speakers Internationally?
So what is the issue? Magnets? I would search for details regarding hazardous materials, you may find information about magnets. What a crazy request. Either that or tell the seller to find another shipping company. You could also contact the ship...

Looking at a new non-SACD player, but still own lots of SACDs
I would highly recommend the Ayre C-5xeMP multi disc player. Read the reviews. You can find them here occasionally at your price point.http://www.stereophile.com/hirezplayers/705ayre/#5s4ehB7LEZyUdOqj.97 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
Geez mgreen27,Just because the guy is new to audio and has the funds to spend doesn't make a particular statement at all. Would I own a $35,000.00 amp? Hell yeah, if I had the money to spend. The guy likes good music and wants the best, I see noth... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
"Aside from all the praise of the Persona line, I find it refreshing to see how efficient/sensitive they are as compared to some of their competition. Possibly a good match for tube components. Curious to see the impedance behavior across the ... 
interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference?
I’m surprised by the number of responses that place power cords first. Let’s further define that by asking with our without power conditioning of some type?  
Which songs or musical standards have haunted you?
The End - Mr. Mojo Risin!What always got me was being a little stoned and listening to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida during the keyboard solo that is nice and quiet  when you're just sort of groovin' on it and then all of a sudden the electric guitar jumps i... 
Is it ok to not gush over Vanessa Fernadez?...one listener's perspective.
I always find interesting the music that is used to demonstrate audio gear. It typically lacks any sort of emotional feel but certainly demonstrates accuracy. Hell, I want to hear Neil Young, A Man Needs a Maid from the Live at Massey Hall release...
