| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer I had a similar bait and switch interaction with Albert Portis. I was interested in either one of 2 AudioQuest Niagara 7000 Power Conditioners he had listed on Audiogon. Since he had 2 listed for weeks I did initially low-ball my offer and was tur... | |
| Streaming 102 @joeyfed55 - I’ve been through a similar journey. Initially I had a Node 2 (prior to 2i) but wondered how much better it could get. I ended up buying a Mytek Manhattan II DAC w/network card. I got a little bit of a deal during early COVID days - ... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I didn't have the experience the OP asked about - rather I'm having the exact opposite experience. A couple months ago my PS Audio PowerPlant 15 quit initializing. I didn't think I missed it that much but since I got it back on Tuesday I have not... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 My PS Audio PowerPlant 15 is currently bouncing around the FedEx system (warranty work - another string). Was supposed to be delivered yesterday (Sunday) but went about 3 hours too far south. After sitting there for a day it’s now 3 hours west of ... | |
| Can You Hear Me Now @OP - Appreciate the social experiment. Results are as expected. ;-) | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? In the OP’s original post, “By the time I was an instructor myself…” | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? I got one worthwhile thing out of this string - I’ll be avoiding race car driving lessons in the Seattle area. Just like in other areas if my life, I’d rather go with a science based approach. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning Just to be clear - “it’s all about credibility.” | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. Michaelsherry59 is to telling the kids to get off my lawn as Kenjit is to speakers. | |
| Sub placement Interesting. I just recently purchased a 2nd JL Audio E112 and had pre-wired for that sub to be behind the listening position. OMFG - the result is amazing. The soundstage is much much more 3-D like I am walking on stage as I approach the front sp... | |
| Poor Product Reviews? No Problem. Just Erase Them!! @tsushima1 +1 | |
| Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se I own the A21+ and am extremely pleased with it. I don’t have any experience with Adcom. | |
| Why have capacitors improved so much over the years? Since capacitors are ubiquitous in all electronics, the statement, “Why they got better is audiophiles obsessed with and driven to achieve exceptional sound quality” is inane. To suggest that our niche industry would be the driver of such improve... | |
| Why the cost increase? So typical. The statement was actually corrected during the news conference but that doesn’t matter. When the facts and science aren’t on your side you have to make sh$t up. | |
| Why the cost increase? Love it when quotes are taken totally out of context. Kamala said she would take a vaccine recommended by Dr Fauci but not if it was being pushed by Trump. Which basically means she would listen to someone who was using science and facts as a basi... |
