The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner
@lalitk  Grounding is not required   It’s an optional feature to be used if you want. The Gemini series has been designed with multiple grounding posts unlike the other models which only have one or two.   
Stack Audio Products Review
Emailed Josh at Stack Audio and he said they prefer the Isolators under the stands rather than under the speakers on the stands. So he is sending me a set of  the 15 mm spikes so I can try them under the stands

@vinylshadow  Why Live Vibe? The Stacks are excellent   
Stack Audio Products Review
@vinylshadow  I didn’t have the most success with them under the amp but I only tried them once inside and behind the amps feet. They may have worked at other locations but it’s a lot of work getting them under 66 lb amp. So I haven’t gone back t... 
Stack Audio Products Review
@vinylshadow    Yrs I did shake them and I did notice a subtle change in bass after an hour or two.   
Stack Audio Products Review
@jond    I have the Component Isolators under the Aurender positioned at the corners and the Speaker Isolators directly under the speakers on the stand instead of replacing stands feet on the bottom of the stands. Then I placed four of the Sound... 
Stack Audio Products Review
@tkrtrb125   These weren’t negative reviews . The products do what they claim. It’s just in my system one of them didn’t match. The other two Isolator products certainly work. I’m enjoying a very improved system. However it took some effort to ... 
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
@cycles2  If you like my reviews I just posted a review of Stack Audio products.   
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
I was also a Benchmark AHB 2 owner for 3 years. Excellent amp for the price but I too found a slight hardness in the lower treble around 2k-3k Hz. Also the overall sound was not as relaxed and laid back as I liked. My goal in replacing it was for ... 
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
@cycles2 That’s my plan. I need to replace my Coax/ BNC clock cable to DH Labs. Currently it’s Blue Jeans. Then all my interconnects and speaker cables will be DHLabs. Then I plan to audition their power cables.Also I’ll be surprised if I can fi... 
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
@gbmcleod    The Shunyata cables I borrowed from The Cable Company library were burned in. They were not new. Same for the DH Labs. If you need 300+ hours to burn them in then you will have them beyond any trial period. Also Shunyata claims that... 
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
@hickamore Well I bought the speakers first. Then when it was time to get a streamer after listening I just couldn’t unhear the N20. Unfortunately when I demoed the N20 at the store it was also connected to the MSB.. What a combo. So I just deci... 
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
@v-fi In a way I’m not looking forward to evaluating power conditioners. After trying the PS Audio regenerator and AudioQuest 707 I know it takes time to try out the units and may depend on the quality of your power at the time of the test. I ju... 
DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison
@lalitk Thanks Yes DH Labs still sell bulk cable. I plan to try their top line Corona Power cable for my Amp and their Power Plus Cryo Power Cable for my DAC analog power supply.  
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
@lalitk Since the weather is no longer stuck in the 90s my system has sound wonderful. Plus I believe all my new components are now settling in. So I decided to turn my focus to upgrading my XLR Interconnects and Speaker cables. Check my thread ...
