Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle
@stevebohnii No problem, I use a Furman IT-REFERENCE 15i 15-amp power conditioner. I’m sure there’s a break in period during which it will improve, just like nearly everything else in our systems. The increase in resolution and "rich musicality" y...

Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle
I've been waiting for this Purple duplex to be available for sale for months and now I have one.  First impressions are certainly positive. I went directly from a cheap generic receptacle, probably less than $1, to this product. My system's music ... 
Pass XP12. Tame, Anemic?
@caglioti  How did your XP12 end up for you?  I know, very old discussion.  I'm curious though.  Someone mentioned that it could be the Blue Jeans cables, and although I never used Blue Jeans ICs, the Blue Jeans speaker cables I still have in sto... 
Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter
To the dedicated skeptics and the sincerely questioning, the audible difference is as clear, obvious, and irrefutable as the contrast in pitch between two different keys played on a keyboard. I tried to convey this point previously in this discuss...

Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter
As a side note to the discussion for anyone doing their own subwoofer cable swapping, I've found the synthesized bass line in the song "In Too Deep" by Jacob Collier to be particularly useful in evaluating sub-bass qualities.  
Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application!
Interesting stuff guys.  @tonywinga ​​​​: What method are you using to measure the resonance in Hz on your components?  
Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application!
@dadork  Yeah, I'm experimenting with the Nobsound spring devices too, and I agree they should include springs which are a little less stiff.  So far my results have been that they are pretty effective with four of them placed under my two heavie... 
Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter
Yo!  Let the testimonials flow!  Who cares what a REL rep tells you.  Your own subjective aural experience is all that matters. And to be really real, pure subjectivity itself is the primordial, underlying and requisite reality of all ostensibly ... 
Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter
@beatlebum That's awesome to hear that you benefited from my posts here!  I tested cables from Audio Art, Synergistic Research, Audio Envy, Furutech, Acoustic Zen, and a few cheapo cables with different gauges, and none of them gave me the speed, ... 
Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II vs. Absolute Copper IC's
I combined the Absolute Copper XLR with the Fusion XLR from Zavfino and for my system and tastes it's an awesome pairing.
