Movie/film suggestions. "Sunshine Cleaners" Sunshine Cleaning, maybe? If so, +1 @slaw . Besides dramas that are about everyday people in everyday scenarios that turn sideways on them (such as A Map Of The World with Sigourney Weaver), I seem to gravitate to dark movi... | |
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @roxy54 , do they take a good bit of oomph to drive? | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @audphile1 , am I mistaken or did I get the impression from a previous thread that you have mixed and matched power cords before? Do you see that as problematic? | |
Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. No, @grislybutter , meeting Lucinda and doing an imitation of a coked up Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now is not in the same league. This one is yours, my friend--you have earned it. | |
Directional wires/cables The brands of interconnects with directionality, as specified by the manufacturer, that I have, have all stated that the reason for the directionality is that the shield is grounded at the source end and is floating at the destination end. @bim... | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Actually, @kennymacc , after giving thought to this, what I believe that I will wind up doing is moving my outlets and going directly in to the wall from my gear. | |
Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @immatthewj @wyoboy Fine! I guess I take it back, seeing the Queen doesn't make it as fun a story to tell than getting busted for it Bragging rights are yours, @grislybutter . | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I wonder if the power cord from the wall to the power conditionner , should be a low guage one ? Such as 8 or 10 ? According , that there are several gears connected to the power conditionner . I would think that it should be, @maxwav , a... | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Everything is important!!! Get the best power cable that you can afford to go from your wall socket to your power conditioner. Just that simple. @kennymacc , it would be that simple, except if you read through the thread, the conditioner I am... | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @audphile1 , thanks for the link to the Pangea . . . that would be the quickest easiest. I think in that thread I referred to I asked about if there was such a thing as an "audiophile power strip" out there, and it appears that this one would fill... | |
Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @grislybutter , I cannot even come close to topping that. As far as the Lynyrd Skynyrd experience that the OP shared, that’s another one I have nothing to compare to. I watched a couple of documentaries about that band, and the one I liked the be... | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks . . . and speaking of strange, I guess after the thunder we got some freezing rain--I just went to throw a bag of garbage out and stepped onto a skating rink. We don't really get that all too often here. | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @audphile1 , I guess that at this very moment I have it hooked up with pre and CDP to power conditioner, and amp so it will plug straight to the wall. I get almost daily emails from PCX and ACX and they sent me one with the XLO Ultra Plus marked ... | |
Directional wires/cables . . . and I just did a quick search on speaker wire directionality , specifically Kimber 8TC, and came up with this discussion right here on A'gon . . . https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/signal-direction | |
Directional wires/cables I use Kimber Silver Streak(s) all the way through (CDP-pre-amp) and this thread got me curious, and from the searches that I did they were saying that the heat shrinked "Silver Streak" logo around the cable should read so that the 'S' is at the e... |
