| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Hard for me to be more specific. There's been too many components and different setups in my house to remember. It has not been often that an aftermarket power cord on a component compromised the sound of the system compared to the stock cord, but... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? But all is not lost when you buy that upgraded power cord. It will still improve whatever component it's attached to. 11-25-13: LaceeYour assertion is inaccurate. Every aftermarket (upgraded) power cord does not improve the performance of whatever... | |
| Impedance Matching If you can audition the amp with the preamp then sure. But other than that, I would not go that route, especially if there was a potential for losing money in a re-sale on the used market. | |
| Synergistic Power Cell 10 se Mk 111 users Have not had the III, but had the Powercell SE mkII and sold it. I had to try it, and wanted one for years before I finally got it... The differences it made to my system sound were subtle and hard to describe, maybe providing a little more accura... | |

| NAD M2 "Protection ,right channel short" Your dealer needs to make it right. | |
| A strange phenomenon If there is no technical problem such as something with your ac or one of your components, then it could simply mean that you have a poorly matched system that once warmed up just doesn't sound good. A system's sound will change when it goes from ... | |
| Weiss is so underrated Unfortunately, no piece of equipment including a Weiss DAC will perform equally all the various combinations that make up various audio systems. The ancillary equipment will always be an overriding factor that affects the end sound. You are fortun... | |
