Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
When power conditioner threads come up someone usually makes a statement that one of the functions of a well thought out transformer is to eliminate or at least significantly lessen the impact of noisy power on sound quality. Then inevitably no o... 
AI-Written Stereophile Articles
Reading my post above, I wanted to add that I have worked in large to middle sized corps my entire career and have met many wonderful people that are still friends after retirement. This is just to add that I am not anti-corporation by nature as ...

Speaker Cables For $300
For a modest price I recommend the Canare 4S11.  I purchased my pair from Blue Jeans.   I tried the Micca cables and really did not care for them.    
Denarips and Vinshine split
Just watched the video that I think @fthompson251 was referring to: Official Announcement: Farewell to DENAFRIPS - YouTube As mentioned by others, Alvin is a class act.      
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@gladmo More thoughts to come soon about the Graphene Sluggos... Frankly, now that the sellers background has been written about, your 100s of posts on Audiogon, which have amounted to nothing but advertisements praising his products are a bit... 
Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery
@1971gto455ho Closed-minded ? Tossed a couple in the garden now I’ve a 6 figure system.  Funny you should mention it, I just put Sluggo in my garden to get rid of the pests.  
Least expensive plug-in power conditioner that works
I have been using the PST-8D for about 6 years now on which the "Protection-On" LED is no longer is on. Called Furman and no way to reset it or protection from it. So I am looking to purchase a new one.  I don’t suppose anyone has owned the PST-8... 
Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp
@mdalton Thanks! Love your system too. Where did you get your TD-160? Funny thing is I purchased the TD-160 at a thrift store for $5. Then spent $$s to have it completely refurbished by a local tech. It sounds wonderful. But streaming has bec... 
How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?

@mdalton you have very nice systems.  I bet they sound beautiful.  
Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier
Definitely wait until your amp is broken in before making any changes to anything. The fact that a manufacturer at the level of Accuphase recommends using the supplied PC would carry weight to my thinking. But hopefully @lalitk  who runs Accupha... 
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
@snook2  The UPs claims are unresolved. Meaning no money was reimbursed to either of us. Thought that was a given. I agree with you, it was a given.  Not sure why anyone would have thought otherwise.      
PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
I will add that if Viva had a particular pair of tubes I was interested in I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from them.  I’m not sure what happened to the tubes after using them about 8 months in my preamp.  But I think it was something to do with t... 
PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
@curiousjim  Viva told me they thought it was either new production problems or was caused in shipping.  Of course, there aren't a lot of other possibilities as these are the only new tubes that ever self-destructed in such a short period of time...
