Also they do not use the 20A male connector because most d... | |
| How to protect seller's rights? The only way to handle this type of case is to immediately offer a full refund and require the buyer to return the item, it’s the old “full refund if not entirely satisfied” trick and eating the return shipping is much less hassle then dealing wit... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. I had a full Equitech balanced installation in my home in Los Angeles and had no problems getting the permit signed off. The only requirement was that the balanced receptacles were all labeled “technical power only”the real problem came in selling... | |
| Audio Research IR input In my experience with remote IR sensors the problem 9 times out of 10 is that the re-emitter is too close and is overloading the sensor. This is especially common if you are installing the amp in a cabinet say and don't have much room to operateTh... | |
| I am hunting for a very high end manged power filter. I also used to have the EquiTech but a) it had iffy GFCIs and b) not every component liked balanced power. The Torus is 240v balanced in but standard out which makes it easy to use and it really works well as the basis of my current room (which yo... | |
| I am hunting for a very high end manged power filter. Nice setup @whart. As you can see the Torus WM aresimilar albeit using a toroidal transformer.

| Ideal design for a new music room A room that is not a rectangle or with any parallel surfaces then introduces a whole host of issues in speaker positioning (as each speaker will see a very different set of reflection points). Interesting discussion of this topic in Roy Gregorys e... | |
| Stacey Kent LPs The best disc by far of those available is the two disc version of “Breakfast on the Morning Tram”. https://www.discogs.com/Stacey-Kent-Breakfast-On-The-Morning-Tram/release/3716880The others to my mind are ok but Breakfast combines good songs wit... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? You are right once it reach certain level, it is hard to improveActually I couldn’t disagree more. With very resolving systems any change in the system is obvious. Fine tuning small details becomes paramount. As as a case in point in my system ove... | |
| Ordered Magico S5 MK II traded S5 MK I - Thoughts - Feedback - Anyone here them? Congrats @fsmithjack -- having just swapped up from Q3 to M3 (again without having heard the Ms in my system) I know how comfortable you can get trusting that a move up the ladder will work for you -- I'm sure the MkIIs will be a delightAgree on S... | |
| Is it true records are sealed to look better.... So I just opened a brand new Yarlung LP - - volume 2 of the Yuko Mabuchi - an audiophile pressing in a lovely non static inner liner. The disc was covered in a fine patina of card or paper scraps, probably from the jacket or something -- so whethe... | |
