| Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice @lowrider Thanks. So the statement on the Decware site is flat out false? Or maybe some regenerators work differently and need a conditioner?@millercarbon Since you recommended the Decware unit, perhaps you know what Decware is saying that both lo... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @edcyn Seconded and....thread unfollowed! Peace, all! | |
| Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice @millercarbon I'm interested in the Decware unit. I agree it will probably be a good value. He says one thing I need help with, though.Decware: "Some people will wonder how this approach compares to a power re-generator so it pays to know that a p... | |
| Long term audiophile seeks room acoustic experience..., I've just gone through this -- teaching myself for the last 7 months. The advice on this forum is excellent. I've learned a lot.In addition to the advice here and in books suggested, I really got reliable information from Anthony Grimani's youtube... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @rvpiano I totally get where you're coming from. I would just add this comment. Leonardo Da Vinci was an artist and an engineer, a painter and an inventor; the "how" of things and the "feel" of things commingled for him. Their entanglement were t... | |
| Music and Gear These are interesting responses. I'm not scientist but I know plenty, and to them the kind of back and forth between experiment and experience is part of a happy process. Some people get obsessed and need the advice, "Smell the flowers," but many ... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner @atmasphere Thanks. Paul at P.S. Audio has made the case multiple times against passive conditioners for that kind of reason, and because he sells the very expensive regenerator I wasn't sure if his criticism against passive products went against... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @frogman said:Now, everyone is free to approach and enjoy this hobby any way that it suits him and judging this is pointless.Then you go ahead and judge. Ok, so which is it? Is this a non-judgable, everyone is free to believe their own truth about... | |
| Sellers: When do you drop your price? @gano You might be interested in this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/if-i-have-good-local-shops-available-should-i-restrict-my-pur... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner @atmasphere Ralph, what have you heard or have you tried the Puritan products? I put a lot of stock in your views, so I'm asking! | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @vitto You seem to know yourself well, and that's great. I find that the pleasures are of different sorts -- the difference, e.g. of enjoying a sensual pleasure (such as music or food) vs. enjoying a good puzzle (analyzing sound or doing a crosswo... | |
| Music and Gear We had a very interesting discussion along these lines. Possibly of interest. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/why-do-some-think-music-not-gear-trading-etc-is-the-ultimate-... | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp I have not heard it but read about it a lot. I would be very curious about the Black Ice unit. Used, here, $600. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649714940-black-ice-fx-tube-dac-dsd-wifi/ | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? @stevewharton great reminder that the emotional reaction is a big clue about where our system is, evolution-wise. Alas, it only tells us “yes” or “no.” Still, that’s helpful. | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? Thank you, @xenolith for what amounts to your audio system CV! Wonderful. I don't want to introduce a detour to the OP, but "the recreation of the recorded event in our living room" is an idea I understand but it cannot, of course, be taken litera... |
