| Best means of isolating digital equipment i.e. DACs, CD transports, wall warts etc. @tomic601 I don't have the luxury of 3 dedicated circuits; I will only be able to add one. Right now I have my analog plus ayre codex DAC plugged into a hydra 2 conditioner (clean side). I use a distributor to gain extra outlets since the hydra ... | |

| Best means of isolating digital equipment i.e. DACs, CD transports, wall warts etc. I have two dedicated digital power cables. A shunyata alpha digital and a Signal Cable digital power cable. | |

| Power amp for Vandersteen Treo? ^ good advice. I owned a DS-225 a few years ago and while I initially liked the see through sound stage and transparency, it eventually wore on my ears. I eventually switched to Ayre which was more musical and relaxed. | |
| I think I over treated my room. I can't hear anything. Makes you wonder if you can hear noise such as that from a vibrating transformer in any equipment that you would otherwise swear is dead silent. How about the rumble of a turntable or the stylus tracking grooves on a record with no audio connecti... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? Both in the last 10 years, Leonard Cohen when he played in Portland and Paul McCartney when he played in Seattle and was joined by members of Nirvana. Other concerts were great but these two would be worth re-living. | |
