| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Doug, this is a power cord thread not one about speaker cables. And Liguy did not start this thread. It's been over a year. What can you expect? | |
| What is my weak est link...? Suggestions please. Sell all, buy a cable for 3k first and start again.SyntaxCable: Do you really think I can find a good cable for only $3k? I have a $4k budget. Maybe this was suggested and an "entry level" cable.Syntax was having fun with you. Please don't take hi... | |
| Perfectionist Audio Ivan, you my friend are sensible. Perfectionism is ridiculous in most things including audio. My theory is that the concept may have had its genesis in the original description of the compact disc, "perfect sound forever." | |
| Which is a better speakers choice? The amp you pair with the speakers can go a long way towards transforming the performance of the speakers. Choosing wisely makes a big difference. | |
| jps labs vs less loss I had the jps labs power cord not the + and I had the Lessloss power cord. It has been a while so my memory is not the best, but I remember that in my setup the upper end was rolled off with the Lessloss and I disliked that plenty. I do not rememb... | |
| High End Hi-Fi like Drugs Sometimes I think it is like drugs. I look at the forums every day, change my wallpaper on my desktop to pics of high end systems, fortunately I no longer look at the classifieds like I did in the past- thanks to the new Audiogon. | |

If I'm planning on a purchase which is not often, I will look for it here just like I did with the old format. I have spent money here ... | |
| PurePowerAPS Canada concern I've had a couple Purepower products and have had good experiences with the company. I would suggest you keep calling until you get your issue resolved. I believe it will come to a favorable conclusion. Unfortunately, some audio companies don't de... | |
| Here's a good sounding Basia CD I used to like her and have an old CD by her. I'll investigate this recording. Thanks | |
| Double/diff. speakercable runs in singlewire conf. A thought-provoking post worth consideration and testing, especially if this approach is affordable. | |
| Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew? Abucktwoeighty, having gone from a solid state preamp to the tubed preamp I have now, I can only say that the musical realism has really stepped up. | |
| Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew? A correction to my above post; it's a Joule Electra LA 150 mk2. | |
| Macbook vs Squeezebox 3 Very interested to read your responses. I have a Macbook Pro 2012 version and I have tried to optimize the SQ by shutting off all non-essential processes. | |
| Does you wife touch your system? My wife never touches my system; (well maybe once or twice a year). She basically ignores it although the other day she said, "something new?" I said, "no it was in the shop" She suprised me by complimenting the looks of it (a Joule preamp). But m... | |
| Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew? This thread was about the insertion of a quality tube preamplifier and its affects on the sound of the system. It seems somewhere along the way it turned into a tubes vs solid state battle. |
