| Power conditioner help arsh, I posted this in the amp forum as well.I'd be interested to know more about your MF Nuvista, but that's another topic for another day. I have a Musical Fidelity M6si which I'm real happy with. I can only imagine what the Nuvista tubes soun... | |

| The demise of the music CD inevitable? Perhaps this post of mine just reiterates what I have already stated. Nevertheless, for those with CDs 30 years with no sign (as least as you are able to tell) of ROT, keep in mind year 31 could be very different. Granted, nothing last forever. Re... | |
| New Transformer on the Pole almarg / cleeds - Thanks! Your responses make sense (to me anyway, can't speak for the community at large). And further to your point almarg, I have a solid state amp, Musical Fidelity M6si and would have to believe a tube amp would be more di... | |
| New Transformer on the Pole almarg / cleeds - curious about your feedback (no pun intended) here .... both of you have indicated that (paraphrasing) a change in line voltage could be the rationale as to the reason for a blacker background or perceived improvement. In my case... | |
| Protecting AMP and Cleaning AC Power For outstanding protection from surges and over and under voltage, get a Panamax MR4300. Same company as Furman. Just as good, not as expensive. The unit has high amp outlets and although is not 100% passive it is nearly 100% passive. It has basic... | |
| Shorten my speaker cables? Given the distance of typical home setup speaker cable, shorter distance is only theoretically beneficial, given the lower resistance. There is no practical difference (i.e. one cannot hear a difference) between a 25 foot cable and the same cable ... | |
| Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player? Idiotic no, but definitely not the right thing to do. Like your amp, the CD player needs to breathe and more than likely has air vents that are blocked or partially blocked by placing anything on top of it.If you need/want an extremely good audio ... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? georgelofi, chazro and others, trust me, cds do rot and go bad. However, that said...- it is a relatively small number percentage wise, and is usually isolated more so to certain brands. - because you have not noticed it yet after so many years, c... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? I have upwards of 4,000 CDs. While I do believe it can offer the best quality playback (yes, 16bit PCM, no practical audible difference with 24bit or DSD) given a high end player, there is definitely a problem that gets little attention in forums ... | |
| Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components Welcome to the forum roylindenfeld. At that price point I'd recommend a pair of Golden Ear Triton One. | |
| Speaker Non-Vertical Orientation - Maintenance/Movement Thanks Tim. Interesting to read that in your experience you've observed damage while the speaker is upright. By upright I take this to mean the listening when in use orientation. I would have thought that would be the "safest" orientation (again, ... | |
| Emotiva Stealth DC-1 thx auxinput. I did a cursory review of the Teac you mentioned. Seems it has been discontinued in favor of the UD503. The MSRP on that is basically twice that of the Emotiva. Not the best review on that either from what hi fi, but admittedly I'm n... | |
| Emotiva Stealth DC-1 Yeah I like the value they offer. I have an ERC-3 CD player and I'm very happy with it. It's for that reason I'm considering more Emotiva equipment. Thanks bobaudet. | |
