Best AC line conditioning devices?
:) What digital playback are you wanting to treat...CDP, Transp & DAC, computer??? Let me know and I'll know what to suggest as far as my vote goes... 
Best AC line conditioning devices?
Ptss, "...if the ac is perfect no unit will make any difference".I can certainly appreciate that there may be some conditioners around that aren't particularly effective at making a noticeable difference in sound quality, but, FWIW, I personally b... 
What sub under a grand?
About the only thing that comes to mind for me is that it could be the driver's internal speaker leads from the voice coil that are soldered to the driver's input connectors (or binding posts, if equipped). Generally as woofers age these bare, bra... 
My wife passed yesterday
I can only imagine what you are going through, but I am saying prayers for God's love and peace for you. May it be that you can come to eventually reunite with her on the other side someday.John 
Why blind listening tests are flawed
In respect to the OP, my experience parallels Larrybou's, but I find that critical listening for differences in gear (or whole system evaluation) requires at least two efforts on the part of the listener that tend to oppose to each other. On an on... 
Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already???
Any body remember the old days when magazines did not accept advertising from equipment manufacturers and they went out of their way to give the consumer the benefit of their experience and expertise in order guide them into the hobby with an eye ... 
Help finding a Mid-Sub
What about the Hsu MBM-12 MkII?? It's a Mid Subwoofer that can be tuned for use with either a true sub or used by itself.If its plate amp is not your thing, you may want to consider the possibility of modifying the sub to accept a better amp... 
Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc
Hi Houseofhits, I'm in the process of tri-amping my system with Crown XTi-2's and, odd as it might seem to many (even me), am finding them to be surprisingly good for my audiophile purposes! Of course, I've had to be careful about it. I most defin... 
29" Speaker Stands for Paradigm 20 v5 Monitors?
I like GWiz Products. They have a pretty cool website that will let you enter in all your own dimensions so that you can custom-build it before you order and it will give you a total of how much it would cost. A bunch of options like wood species ...

I may be checking that out soon. Thanks for the heads up! 
Review: Wavetouch Audio Grand Teton, Piano Black Monitor
Audioman, looking forward to your post. I have the original Baltic Birch design and love them. By the end of the year or so I hope to be (active) tri-amping using a pair of subs I already have...just don't have the other 2 amps yet. (My GT's did t... 
Regenerator, Balanced Power, or Power Cleaner?
Almarg and Charles, I appreciate your posts...I'm looking further into my source for the info on this...evidently I may have gotten it wrong like you say. (Either the source is wrong or maybe I just interpreted it wrongly...not entirely sure which... 
Regenerator, Balanced Power, or Power Cleaner?
Continue to check outlet voltage at different times of the year to get a truer picture of voltage reliability since some changes may prove to be seasonal...if you typically have icy conditions where you live it may be the worst during the winter m... 
It's All About Increments
Alan is on facebook (Alan P Maher). Just send him a fb message to introduce and ask any questions. Currently he has a facebook test group of around 300 or so members (of which I'm still one) which, up to recently, he has been selling exclusively t... 
It's All About Increments
Sabai, for my experiences with the FryBaby click on the only review so far under my name. About the only things I kept from the old system listed there are the Monarchy speaker wires and the AMD stuff.Also, Alan has moved on and improved from the ...
