| 'Quietest place on Earth' anechoic chamber FYI0 db is the human threshold of hearing. so that’s why you can have negative db as the negitive is sound that is below human hearing. I argue the space center in Florida is the "quietest - Loudest" place on earth. just think ambient sound levels... | |

| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. one question I have is do you really need MQA in a Budget system that’s only temp? could save some there if you skip the MQA requirement.

| Step down transformer (220V to 100/110V) or buy 220V version of Shindo preamp I ran a Japan voltage (100v) Luxman amp with a step down and it worked great. Just get a quality on with double the power rating your amp is rated at. That’s the power usually on the back of the amp as you want the usage power rate not the out put... | |
| Burning/breaking in new equipment? take one of your speaker cables and reverse it then point your speakers at one another a few inches away from each other. they will cancel each others sound out quite a bit so you can leave them on all day when your out/work/etc. this is the same ... | |
