The best plug in filter ever!
@nasaman I’ll probably wait for my tax refund. But yes, I hope the price stays where it is.

@verafiaudio all-right, thanks!

Wonder whether Puron will develop a power strip? Anyway, I’m interested in trying one of these, how do I place an order? Sorry ordering isn’t clear to me from reading through this thread. Thanks!

@lowrider57 Akiko makes tuning sticks with RCA’s, XLR, and prongs for outlets. They also make sticks that attach to cables. Here’s the website; https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/

Sorry, late to the discussion. I started using Akiko Audio ten or so years back and have been happy with the difference they make. I saw on the Akiko website that a new, copper colored triple enhancer was introduced. Apparently this new filter is ... 
Help me understand cartridge alignment
If my alignment measurements were off, then I would feel compromised unless I could make the adjustments necessary. Anyway, there is an art to setting up a cartridge and there is a science too but nothing is so exact that you cannot make evaluatio...

Am I Getting Soft Here?

A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
This thread returns! I sent the link to this thread to my instructor back when, hopefully as an inspiration. I'm still needing to sift through all of these bands. Thank You!  
Am I Getting Soft Here?
This is an odd hobby because price points are all over the place. When I go to the supermarket, I don’t see a half gallon of ice cream for $12.00 and then another one for $86.00. But look at tone arms for example. I have a lot of money in my stere... 
Funny thing happened today. Hooked up an old favorite and was testing some stuff out.
Yep  
Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB
My Platinum Starlight is Serial # 03843 so I’ve had it for a while. But I wanted to say that it took my sound towards a different direction than a copper cable would have. The components these cables are connected to makes a difference so three pe...
