Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
@yogiboy @djones51 Thank you for the reference to that thread. Hearing the argument that "P.S. Audio claims they are perfect and why do you believe them?" wasn’t providing the technical details I repeatedly asked for. So I appreciate YOU reading a... 
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
Perhaps you don’t have an engineering explanation. This is not about claims or perfection or whatever. I’m trying to get to the bottom of what their product does and whether that obviates the need for a conditioner. They claim to take AC power and...

@lowrider57  @millercarbon It does seem that each unit is stand alone. P.S. Audio claims that, based on how their unit works. Decware, however, says that it is and it isn't stand alone. His website clearly says that using both units can be complem...

@samhar  May I amend that to "Telefunky"?

@millercarbon I love House! Great show. And I understand why manufacturers mislead or lie. But if a regenerator’s very design obviates the need for a conditioner -- which is a statement of fact (either true or false) -- then its being uttered by a...

Circling back to the Decware vs. regenerator issue. Here is what P.S. Audio wrote to me when I asked them about using both: "I don’t agree with the statement from Decware [that Decware's conditioner can be used in addition to a regenerator]. We d... 
Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end?
@rvpiano Know exactly what you mean. I won’t prattle on about this, but Pirsig’s Zen and the Art novel does a good job of explaining why we take these different moments of ourselves and divide them into categories -- such as "left brain/right brai...

Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing??
@mrpsync  I'm glad my diary of attempts was helpful. I really fumbled a lot in the beginning, but earnestly. You did well buying 12 panels, by the way. That gives you sufficient quantity to actually do some very real experiments, especially, as Le...

Declare looks like a very good power conditioner. They explain exactly how it works using filtering. PS Audio is a power regenerator. I think you should go to their website or a review to understand how it works.I've heard Paul at PS Audio talk ab... 
Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end?
@onhwy61  Love that reply! You're a Pythagorean, at heart, since any score or blueprint could be reduced to mathematical relationships involved. Everything is numbers (and their ratios) and anything beyond that is a mere epiphenomenon.

Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing??
I have been at this in my room for 7 months. I started off just trying things here and there and listening. The number of places to put things seemed infinite. I had blankets and towels everywhere, bought some panels, moved them around. It was tim... 
Sellers: When do you drop your price?
@audioguy85  My unit was listed for 7 days at a price which was likely too high. Hours after I dropped the price it sold. In 8 days, I didn't get that much grayer, though I admit watching it sit there felt longer than it actually was! The other de...
