Are there any component manufacturers that put anything other than standard plastic covered cords in the box? @jon5f52 , this mig... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? "I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord" "Did I throw away several thousand dollars?" How does one throw away several thousands on a $500 cord? @tony1954 , I was wondering the same thing, but I am thinking that maybe OP had ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? After a couple of weeks of daily use I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord. I don’t want to name it for fear of getting my thread deleted. You would know it or at least be aware of the company. Did I throw away several thousand ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell ya. Looks like you got the ’snake oil answer’ whether you wanted it or not. Going back to your first power cable upgrade on that amp (which I assume was the $500 cable you referenced), did you discern a difference?... | |

| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? He once attacked viciously my uncle sleeping and trying to approach him... I was sad for the bloody hands of my uncle but proud of my savage cat...😊 I am happy to read that you did not do a Kristi Noem job on your cat. | |

| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? I would not shoot my dogs if they messed with my system or attacked my chickens. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? No: not every track sounds good on my system. A revealing system makes a crap source sound even crappier. | |
| How you know your system is improving? I used to think I knew when my system was improving when I wanted to spend more time listening to it, and when I spent more time looking forward to listening to it. | |
| **Smoking integrated tube amp, advice needed: assuming the white speaker terminal is labeled negative or 0 I was wondering about that myself. | |
| **Smoking integrated tube amp, advice needed: I used to own a pair of ARCs that one or the other would routinely blow a grid resistor, but it was never as bad as what you have described (no smoking and such). If you are feeling adventurous, unplug it and put it on a work area and pull the bo... | |
| Outlet Question @romad , a few years ago there was a good run of threads related to the ins and outs of installing dedicated circuits, and because of those I learned something that I had done was violating code and may have nullified my home owners in the event ... | |
| How you know your system is improving? I hate to say it, but there have been times I have listened to a particular track and thought, "Wow!" But then on a later date I have come back to listen to that track and never heard what I had heard the wow-time. And that is without any equipm... |
