Audioquest 5000 or ???
Consider the newest line of power regenerators from PS Audio.  Why filter dirty power when you can regenerate a virtually perfect sine wave for all of your equipment?  Even better, these units significantly reduce the output impedance of connected... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
First, Let me apologize.  I know the question I'm asking has been discussed here before but the thread is too long to track the answer down. Question:  I just moved a Mat from underneath my power regenerator to under why line stage.  How long does... 
Weakest link?
@esthlos13  A BIG +1 for David above.  He is exactly right.  A moderate change in a balanced interconnect pales in comparison to the complete system upgrade the Omega E Mats and Total Contact contact enhancer will give you.Also, If you put a coupl... 
Little Dot mkIV tube upgrade
What type of power tubes does it take? 
CDs Vs LPs
Not complete BS!  I upgraded my phono amp. a few months ago and one of the biggest differences is the reduction in surface noise, both pops and ticks. They are there but reduced in impact.  The surface noise is detached from the music unike when I... 
Kandace Springs - Indigo, the long awaited sequel to Soul Eyes
@mac48025. Wow!  I am in your debt.  Just finishing my second listen to Imelda May's "Life, Love, Flesh, Blood".  I understand from what I've read about her, that this album is a stylistic departure for her.  From what I'm hearing she is clearly o...

Underrated album: Sonics AND Music
Easy one...Clark Terry "Portraits".  For those of you aware of it, you already know, but if you haven't had the pleasure, it is a musical and sonic treasure. This combo jazz release is the most open recording I own in any musical genre on any medi... 
Kandace Springs - Indigo, the long awaited sequel to Soul Eyes
@mac48025.  Glad you are enjoying Kandace.  I still prefer "Soul Eyes" to "Indigo" overall.  However, I totally loved Soul Eyes from the get go but I'm enjoying Indigo more with each listen.  Thanks for mentioning the artists above.  I am not fami... 
BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM
Why would this guy agree to sell product he couldn't pack for appropriate delivery?  Duh?😖 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
I did this all kind of backwards as I tried the E Mats before jumping in on the TC.  The E Mats (2 on the inside of my service panel door and one under my power regenerator) have, as many before me have said, provided for a more relaxing, effortle... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@ganainm   Can you please share the science derived explanation regarding the fact that cables do not break-in? 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
+1. @cleeds  You said " What I do think is odd is that those who clamor for others to pursue measurements or blind testing seem so reluctant to undertake the work themselves."  EXACTLY!  If you are appealing to the importance of measurements then ... 
Your (perfect) record
@slaw   Agree with you on "Boys and Girls"!  Do you have "Avalon"?
