| Power Conditioner Cables Appreciate the advice from all and will play around until I find the most pleasing setup. Makes sense that if system is sufficiently resolving, which I believe it to be, upgrading to AM cords on all amenable components/conditioners would be the op... | |
| Power Conditioner Cables Miller, thanks, that makes sense and I will now try the cord intended for DAC on the conditioner itself.Steakster, thanks for the link, hadn't come across it before & will have a read.lowrider, sorry, as twoleftears says, it is Pangea. I had f... | |

| Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF! One collects noise, the other filters it. Proof enough for me. | |
| Wired vs. Wireless kijanki, appreciate your explanations and advice. I suppose few if any audiophiles enjoy a theoretically ideal setup. Just trying to make the best of my own circumstances, thanks for sharing. | |
| Wired vs. Wireless kijanki, what would cause a wired connection to inject noise into the system? I mean assuming a correct setup and assuming that all components are functioning as designed. Thanks. | |
| Wired vs. Wireless latik, thanks. That was my suspicion, but thought I should seek out community experience before dropping a pile of $$$ on Aurender or such. | |
| Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices? Like some Art Deco, Electronluv is designed for museums.And worthy of them! I will never learn how they sound & wonderif anyone even cares. | |
| Finding the bad tube Guess I can switch out one by one and when the magic returns to my test tracks, I'll know which one (or more) was at fault. Thanks! | |
| Why perfect speakers dont exist the truth revealed Progress already! We've cut it down from infinitely large to an appropriate size. Which, sadly, cannot contain that infinitude of fiberglass. Oh, well. Today the pit, tomorrow the wrinkle. | |
| powercords Is there some risk that the mfr will misplace the power plug and component input opposite the cord wire directionality? If so, how would one determine that this has occurred? | |
| The Hardest Naturally Occurring Substance on Earth geoffkait is the Oscar Wilde of this joint, and that's good enough for me. | |
| Streaming: WiFi or wired?? "it makes no sense to run ethernet cable in your home that is rated higher than the cable used for your incoming service."Wish I'd thought of this obvious fact before buying a fancy ethernet cable. Oh, well. Surely it's doing no harm (?) | |
| Are current audio cable designs superior to 1980s designs? If unhappy with what I have bought, will certainly do just that. | |
| XLR Interconnects Thanks for the reminder as to true balanced as opposed to simply having XLR inputs.. I didn't know about that back when first using balanced cable. At that time I had a pretty long run and audio shop so advised. Here in these forums I have learned... |
