We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
What do you tell somebody who's system does not allow for them to hear a difference?  That in your system you definitively do?  Unless you invite them over to witness to this phenomena to hear it in your system? They will keep saying fuses do noth...

If you can plug this in to the same outlet as the toaster you may find it will not be a problem any longer.  The...  Audio Prism Quietline.http://www.audioprism.com/quietline.html 
Mapleshade Silclear
Resurrected from the dead, thread?    ;)I found that DeoxIt D5 sprayed on the part will remove the Silclear.  But, not the DeoxIt Gold...  Hold a folded cloth under the part to be cleaned, and let the spray do the work.  May take a few tries, but ... 
McIntosh MC275
Tubes are not light bulbs!   I had a MC275 years ago with new tubes.  I could listen in a dark room and all I saw was a glow.  A nice warm glow.   
Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators?
A passive radiator speaker may sound slow with a tube amplifier that has a low damping factor. Sealed speakers tightens up the bass by default.  But, with an amplifier having a good damping factor? A passive radiated speaker can sound as tight as ... 
Turntable sounds so much better when...
Sounds like when you loosen the head arm connection you are cutting it off from a direct connection of the negative, stifling, resonance that takes place in the arm itself.  The cartridge sends micro vibrations down the arm and that arm when locke... 
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
PS Audio's quality is top notch.  Built solid ....  Some other brands will seem a bit chinzy when compared side by side.  Sound is solid as well.

Is there a real difference in sound between Media Servers (without built-in DAC)?
MQA may not be around for long.  That is why Schiit makes its Yggy upgradeable in the event it does.  
Best Vintage Dac??
A vintage DAC is not something you might want.  It was in its infancy and had many problems in the early years.  
Wolf Audio music servers
Iwin....   One reason for better sound can be that it is set up to shut down programs that run in Windows in the background that can introduce noise. Another, is the internal cabling on most computers need to be upgraded for the best audio...  But... 
Speaker distance
Audiophile nearfield desktop....  about 38 inches apart.   Audience 1+1V2's. What I hear does not sound small...  Just to scale.   
Musician vs. audiophile
Just switch out the speakers.  The magic may not be from the Mac.  I used to sell audio and was free to audition speakers at home when the store was closed.  Same preamp and amp,,,  but each speaker sounded entirely different.  The Martin Logan's ... 
Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers?
Compass_Rose.  Others here spoke of "polarity."  But,  what I can gather from what they spoke of?  Was to check the "phase" to make sure both speakers are wired the same.  You may find if you reverse both speaker's leads - red to the black, and bl...
