| Shunyata Research alpha hc vs Shunyata Research original black mamba I tried a Venom HC (v1) power cord on an Isotek Aquarius power conditioner. It provided a significant improvement to the sound over the as-supplied Isotek Premier cord. I also spent time listening with Delta NR v1 and v2 cords as well as an Alpha ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Responding to Inna...Great solo, yes...BUT - "Check out guitar GeorgeHe knows all the chordsMind, it’s strictly rhythmHe doesn’t want to make it cry or sing....".The CHORDS! is always where it’s at. | |

| What are you streaming tonight? @jjss49 Agree with you about the ACT label. Quality repertoire. Kinda reminds me of ECM in that regard. Another recording to check out if you haven’t come across it (in somewhat the same style as the Liberetto music...similar "mood" anyway): Espen... | |
| ..so you think there's no need....... @stringreen Had a somewhat similar startling experience trying a v1 Venom HC power cord on a Taranis Class D amp. As I recall, it replaced a Pangea AC-9. Used Venom HCs come up for sale fairly often. Might be an option for you (a pair, for tha... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? @jlss49 Thanks for posting bout the Lars Danielsson. I have Liberetto I - III. Didn't know about Cloudland; something new to explore. Thanks. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Nutty - okay! I can hear what you like in that track. Great energy. GREAT playing. No shrinking violet she. Love her soloing when she stretches out. Definitely sounds like someone worth seeing/hearing live. BUT at the same time I quickly remembere... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Thanks, Nutty. I’ll have to check that specific JST live track later this evening. I know I’ve sampled her live stuff in the past...just didn’t click for me the way some of her studio albums do. But I’ll give her live another shot. Welcome, Speake... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio Unlike some of the "deep pockets" around here, I’m sympathetic though I’m not so surprised about the hourly rate as by the time required. An explanation about why the repairs required 14 hours might make the final bill easier to accept. Fourteen h... | |
| Seeking advice on power conditioners/regenerators An Isotek Aquarius made a big difference for the better in the sound from my system (posted). I was very surprised having been, until recently, skeptical about power cord and power conditioner benefits. The improvement was not subtle. Music Dir... | |

| Compact Tower Opinions Yup...they are by no means perfect, but they do make "music"! One other caveat I meant to include in the earlier post...if you want to peel paint with sound volume, enjoy LOUD rock at live concert levels (100db+?), these probably ain’t gonna be th... | |
| Compact Tower Opinions @tfats - Hope you get to do some auditioning first and find something that’s right for your ears, gear and room. I’ve owned a pair of Totem Forests since 2007. Could have upgraded (e.g., to Forest Signatures or other) in the years since but chose ... |
