| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? @rpeluso i wish I could be like you. I wish I had a clue like you do. By the way, admitting that you are an old white male doesn't in any way give you special permission to over generalize and stereotype others of your race and gender. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Ahh, that was cathartic. Thanks 2chfreak. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? @geoffkait thank you for not posting that video link. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Another example of "control the media, control the message." Too much money and power in the hands of too few people. And I literally mean a few. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Ben Platt was excellent, most everything else including political messages was embarrassing. On the positive side, subwoofers should sell well. The industry is being led in the wrong direction despite the plethora of talent out there. JMHO. | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about Another vote for Andreas Vollenweider "White Winds" and "Caverna Magica." Main instrument is electro acoustic harp but also lots of synth, some percussion and effects. Well recorded, very good separation, and ambience if your system allows. WW ... | |

| Isolation transformer for laptop charger? Imhififan:. I took your advice and unplugged the charger and holy cow what a difference. The noise floor must have dropped. The music became more dynamic, clear, holographic, and the soundstage opened up. And best of all this tweak was free. T... | |
| No love for Verity? Agree with the above comments. These will get you off the Merry-go-round. They are very musical, well made and beautiful too. I bought my P.E.s a few years ago and love them. Probably my last pair of speakers and I have owned (or still own) Pro... | |
| Isolation transformer for laptop charger? Got it. Thanks, Jim! | |
| Isolation transformer for laptop charger? If this means that the "hot" slot is consistently the shorter one (across all outlets used for my audio system) then I can get a "polarity tester" and check it. | |
| Isolation transformer for laptop charger? @imhififan,Thanks for the link and the suggestion. The MBP should run quietest from its battery I would think. if it makes a difference then all I need to do is remember to disconnect the charger when listening to digital files, and more importa... |
