| Seeking a Power Conditioner Two direct lines... 10 gauge, one for power conditioner and all components except amp. Amp, directly into wall. Look at the best Shunyata or IsoTek you can afford. @gkelly +1 Pay absolutely no attention to ASR. | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? @jsalerno277 Thank you for your kind words. | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? @jsalerno277 You know that is a really great dream... I wouldn’t have thought of it. It is so easy to think of the next component. I was very lucky. I was changing jobs / moving twenty years ago and moved into this house, with a large, real... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? It sounds like a lot of you guys are into the process and not the destination. Nothing wrong with that, everyone has hobbies. I have always been into the destination. | |

While given whatever speakers you choose it is most important to mate with appropriate amplification... the preamp can maters. For instance if you get hyper detailed speakers... ... | |
| Dusting gear and turntable Swifter. Great device, inexpensive... holds lots of dust... quick. My man cave is a floor in the house... so every week out comes the swifter... my Roomba gets the floors three times a week. I use a Hudson arm while playing to ground the top of ... | |

| It's been a long time. @kennymacc +1 I never thought of it that way... you are right. It is really that big. It has completely changed the high end. I collected my 2,000 vinyl albums and 2,000 CDs over fifty years... then one day a few years ago my library went from 4,... | |
| Reccomendations for CD transfer services/venders...? You don't have a PC... and a youngster around? ... and streaming has largely taken the place of playing files. I never use mine any more. If I hadn't ripped mine years ago, I sure would not now. | |
| LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM I'd give another try to create a virtual system. I is easy. I see you have Created a Virtual System... only with contents empty. It would be very helpful for us to see it and know all your components. You probably do not need an engineer... althou... | |
