| Does listening to music increase your IQ? Kind of frustrating to see so many posts being removed.How does that happen?Who can do it?And why?Sort of makes one question their memory when the sands are shifting under their feet. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... How do they work is my question?If a shielding worked then what about the distance from Hoover dam to the outlet?But then the last 5’ I need to run a $1000 cable?And with internet over power lines, it is not like the noise needs to be shielded fro... | |
| Lyngdorf MD-60 vs Audio Control Maestro X9 I am not sure I know what it means to me though.The NUC outputs the HDMI and the TV takes it.Would I care if/when I was running a higher power player of some sort? | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @HardenxThe tube suggestions above are good as well. I swapped out the stock 12AU7 gain tubes for Brimar CV4003 and immediately noticed a more defined top end and slightly more soundstage depth. I recently rolled in a set of KT120 power tubes and ... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @stereo5 @holmz. He will give you recommendations on tubes for the Evo.I tried and that failed, so I tried email.My communication there also seemed to fail.We can sell our dealers Primaluna tubes at a discount but all other brands are sold at ret... | |

| Townshend Springs under Speakers That certainty appears to be a contributing factor (Speaker cabinet construction and type of floor/surface they are sitting on). ) Seems what Richard Vandersteen was alluding to given his post testing comments and results in his two seperate rooms... | |
| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence Yeah but is not saying they change at cellular level.He is saying it more like a muscular deal. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers @mitch2 “They call them Sound Anchor Stands”I suppose that they make them for the 2Cs?It seems like most of the people that like spikes and/or sound anchors seem to have cabinets that are not ringing and resonating?I could easily imagine that peop... | |
| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence @millercarbonWhen we listen for a flute for example, this is more than a conscious decision to focus on the flute. This creates neural impulses that actively tune ear cells to better hear the flute.I find that claim pretty unbelievable.Do you have... | |
| Porsche Isseta?I would to see that one. | |
