| Direct Drive OP, Wow. Sorry to hear. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I still remember driving down and trying out my first car… used. Bought it, ran… until the battery ran down. That is when I learned what the pulley in the truck was for… but could not ... | |
| Its not vinyl I have been into vinyl for over 50 years and digital 40 years. There is a lot of history and progress. Both of the basic amplification and speakers as well as source components. We have reached the point where either digital or analog can sou... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @soix. +1 ignore @kuribo | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters @pprocter Excellent! Look forward to hearing the outcome. I think cardboard X’s with rubber bands across the top will produce a very positive effect if you have a sufficiently resolving system. | |
| High efficiency desktop speakers I fiddled with my desktop system for years. Ultimately converging on a wonderful system. Just like most folks main systems I chose the speakers first. For me they were Totem Mites… and a matching Totem Subwoofer. Then I built out the rest of the s... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @thyname +1 I would like to see @pcrhkr ’s system and venue. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @pstores You are correct and folks that have pursued the best sound possible for decades… while may have somewhat different tastes will completely agree with you. If @kuribo likes tinny dead sound, like he said… it’s up to him. But, for folks wi... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? @fleschler Sorry to hear your story. Love to see your systems and venue. You may have heard me talk about my room. I just really lucked out with incredible acoustics. Large highly asymmetric room. | |
| Recommendations for the best headphones with equalization after severe acoustic injury Wow. Really sorry to hear about your loss. I have had bike tires blow up often. They are really loud. How does your system now sound unpleasant? | |
| Aurender N200 OP, I would purchase as little storage as possible. As soon as I got my streamers… transferred some of my files to my Aurenders and then haven’t used them since. Streaming sounds the same or better through Qobuz. I think I had to reboot my... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? OP +1 I have always actively not wanted to hear a difference in accessories. I did not want to add more layers of difficulty to the pursuit. But virtually anything I have done… wires and others including springs and other vibration control stuff... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner OP, Congratulations on your purchase. Once you have listened to your system with your conditioner for a couple weeks… then take it out. This typically really demonstrates what it has been doing. It is important to compare equipment critically... | |
| mono block What does the rest of your system and venue look like? This would be most helpful. This is really a system question. There is a place to put your system photo and components. So you only need do it once. From what you say… with such very effi... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? @gyneguy225 +1 | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Electrical insulators (like from power poles) are available on eBay from $15 to $35. I think they look great… and I have had mine for 30 years. |
