| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @tlong1958 Have you tried Tim Mrock's products? If not your comment has no relevancy. Rest assured that I was very skeptical about the PPT system transformations until I took the leap and actually tried them. Once you've experienced your system... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat What in the world is "skepticalism"? | |
| Different types of cable for bi-wire I have been biwiring my speakers for over 30 years. I have always used two runs of the same cable or cables with the same wire gauge and geometry. I have avoided biwire-ready cables because having the bass run and mid/treble run encased in the sa... | |

| Power conditioner and high end power cord Some here make categorical statements implying that what they say or have experienced is always how it is for everybody. Not so! Example: Power amplifiers should never be plugged into a conditioner/regenerator because it will restrict dynamic resp... | |
| adcom equipment..... OP I just got done reading about the new Adcom line of amps and from what I could see their design is a far cry from the minimalist approach of the original GFA"s. I have a modified 555 from yesteryear which I tried several months ago when I sen... | |

| Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen @stereo5 Bingo! | |
| I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind... Quality speaker cables truly can bring your system together, musically. Are they system dependent? Of course everything involved in our systems are! I've been party to so many cable trials that there remains no doubt about their importance in s... | |
| TAS for sale @carrardI'm not sure why anyone would buy them. What is your perceived value of all those old magazines? | |
| why a high end phono preamp? I upgraded my phono stage in the past year replacing a 25+ year old unit. At first, I tried a sub $1000 unit made by a well respected phono preamp designer. Giving it weeks to burn-in, I could only conclude that my cherished vinyl was being ill ... | |
| I Would LOVE to see. Laugh if you must but Karen Carpenter's loss was incredibly tragic. She had a voice as smooth as velvet with great control. She was a capable drummer as well. Richard's release remastering some of their greatest tunes with the backing of the RP... | |
| power cord Absolutely! Paul McGowan, the head honcho at PSA recommends the stock cable be upgraded. My P5 is fed from a PS Audio Statement power cord. | |
| Classical Music: Dorian Label I have several Dorian "sampler" discs that have a nice variety of music all in SOTA sound! Check out the samplers if they are still available. You can get a couple of them on Amazon and more on Ebay. |
