| Is is wise to set Power Conditioner on its front rather than on it's bottom. I owned the Equi Core. The transformer is bolted to the chassis, so I doubt it will ever come loose, unless it was loose to begin with.I ended up switching to an Audioquest Niagra 1200. AQ says that it can be placed either flat, on side or sideway... | |
| Dedicated circuit @jea48 .The OP says his line comes from a subpanel that also has the AC compressor.Would it make sense to simply add another subpanel from the main?Would that isolate the effects from the AC unit?(OP-sorry if I am making this more expensive. I onl... | |
| Dedicated circuit If I were to get an answer from @jea48 ,I would take it as gospel.Just do a search of his responses over the years and you can see why he is trusted-almost as much as the late Almarg.Bob | |
| Very Limited Space/Wall Outlet My 2 cents: Remove the stove from the line. Install a whole house surge protector. They're cheap.Add an additional outlet/s for the mono amps.Buy a used Audioquest Niagra 1200 for your sources.Bob | |
| Bookcase diffuser/detractor? +3.Anything uneven and with varying reflectivity is much better than bare walls. Add some tchotchkes, too. Everything helps.B | |
| Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound? Though Spotify has no High Rez format available, I will concur with @fuzztone. A very extensive catalog and very good recommendations.B | |
| Schiit "Gumby" owner considering Ayre Codex -- advice? @rach_fan ,Congrats on the Codex.Are the amps you are referring to AR?Checked fuses? Looked inside for a blown Cap?B | |
| Can flexible power cables sound good? Purchase a 90 degree adaptor.Audioquest told me that it being metal to metal, it shouldn't affect sound quality.B | |
| Schiit "Gumby" owner considering Ayre Codex -- advice? The Ayre has the edge, IMHO.And, yes, I owned both.PM rvpiano, he had the Gumby and my Ayre Codex to audition. I believe he feels the same.Bob | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs Good ol' Ralph,Always the best information in clear understandable English.B | |
| High end Class D amps? @inmytaxi ? | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members @herman ,Well, your title says it all. And, nothing about troll behaviour.If that was what you wanted, then perhaps you should put that in the title.B | |
| Isolation solution for curved bottom floor standers? Townshend Podiums or Platforms would be my recommendation.+2B | |
| Preferred Node 2i and Ayre CDP connections to Soekris 2541 DAC? The Node only has Toslink outputs.I don't know if you could route the Node through the Ayre DAC.My take is to plug the Node into your DAC via Toslink and then output to your preamp.Plug the CDP into the preamp or you could use the CDP as a transpo... | |
