| Surge protectors and power conditioners - Good idea or bad? @lwin ,+1, If you own a home or have a good landlord, installing a whole house surge protector is money well spent.Bob | |
| Audioquest Thunder and Tornado HC Power Cords @phillyb .What are you using to connect the P12 to the wall?You might PM Audiogon member ctsooner, he has lots of experience with AQ cables.B | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? @OP, Nice looking room. I love having a fireplace-though mine is gas. Something about a mantle seems so warm and cozy...In any case, I see two arched entryways near the speakers. They seem to be somewhat at different angles from the speakers. This... | |
| Audioquest Thunder and Tornado HC Power Cords @docknow ,+1@OP. is the amp connected to the P-12 or directly to the wall socket?If the latter, then I think it might be the best route.In any case, just switching out and listening would be my next recommendation.I just upgraded to Tornado's for ... | |

| Atmasphere mp1 mk3.3 with phono @zipost ,My MP-1 doesn't have the Caddock resistors.Though I have to say is holds it's own against an Ayre KX-R.So, when moneys become available, I will upgrade the KX-R to Twenty status and the MP-1 to include the Caddock resistors-and any other ... | |

| Minimum Broadband Speed Necessary For Uninterrupted Qobuz and/or Tidal Listening? I think the bottleneck is streaming both movies and music, especially so given your network speed.Are you using wired or wireless streaming?B | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. I will second an Atmasphere MP-1 for tubes and an Ayre KX-R for SS.I own both and they are very good.The Atma is pretty much stock and the KX-R is non-Twenty. If I have funds to play with, I am getting the Ayre upgraded, and the Atma fitted with C... | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? @wsrwss,Excellent point. Like stereo systems, the combination matters.(Though it seems many vintage lenses are able to properly resolve images at even 40-50mp. Bjørn Rørslett's analysis of many old Nikon lenses showed them to be quite capable).@au... | |
| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review: @wokeuptobose,No, there is no break in process. The platforms/pods/podiums just do their thing.B | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons @onhwy61 ,https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/full-towers/pendragon-2-ohm/#colorMuch depends upon where the 2 ohm dip occurs. If it is in the bass region, it would severely tax just about any amplifier.- And, that isn't including ... | |
| 2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons @mapman .+1@mofojo ,+1@OP, other than something like a Class A Pass or D'Agostino, I can't think of an amp that would be suitable for such a low impedance.Bob | |
