The best plug in filter ever!
@verafiaudio Thanks Mark. It’s great to know you backup the products you distribute. @ozzy Thanks for suggesting that the MIT Z conditioner could be holding back on dynamics. I don’t care for AC conditioners most of the time. I’ll be happier once... 
Budget re-cabling
Greetings  @kraftwerkturbo I suggest you look at Kimber Cables. The 4PR or 4TC cables are a little past your budget but you will be very happy with them. Try going to your local audio dealer that carries Kimber. Try and buy them un-terminated, yo... 
The best plug in filter ever!
@verafiaudio Thanks Mark. I really want them to work in my system. I hate returning items that I purchased. I should receive my new outlet strip in a few weeks. At that time I will try them again in my main system. Mark, by the way this is Joe up... 
The best plug in filter ever!
@ozzy I had them plugged in my main system as you suggested. They are now plugged into a wall outlet that feeds my HT/2 channel system. Once I receive my new outlet strip I will follow your suggestions. I did purchase 2 of the filters   Joe Nies  
The best plug in filter ever!
@ozzy Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered an outlet strip from Audience to replace my Z Stabilizer. I have been thinking about replacing the Z anyway. Once I have it in my system and get familiar with its sound I will try the Puron again. I... 
The best plug in filter ever!
Greetings  I’m sorry to say that my experience with the Puron filters is opposite of everyone else. I had them plugged into my system for 10 days. My system became harsh and brittle. My sound stage went from a wonderful 3D image to a 2D image. T... 
Memory foam as bass treatment?
@audiodwebe That’s the best way to go.  I like the GIK devices. Their prices are reasonable? Joe Nies  
Memory foam as bass treatment?
Greetings  The memory foam will absorb some frequencies and can cut back on reflections.  You need to give it a try. Maybe start in the corners, or first reflection points. I don’t think they will absorb the low low frequencies. We all have to st... 
The best plug in filter ever!
Greetings  I received my Puron filters the other day. After plugging them in I waited 2 hours and listened to the system. I thought they added more bass and better presentation of the sound stage. After being plugged in for 24 hours my system sou... 
Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers!
Greetings  I purchased a pair of Janis W1 subwoofer’s in 1982. I still use them in my main system. They are intended for music only, not for HT. To my ears they sound wonderful. The subs are passive so I provide a separate amp and external crosso... 
What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?
Greetings  Per VinylEngine’s calculator my arm reads as follows: Max. Tracking Angle Error: 1.86 degrees  Max. Distortion: 0.64 percent  Avg. RMS Distortion: 0.41 percent Joe Nies  
Puron AC Power Conditioner really....
Greetings  My curiosity got the better of me so I ordered 2 of the Puron AC Conditioners. ‘From what I have been reading it almost seems to good to be true. I won’t get my hopes high but I’m very opened minded. I have a very good electrical syst... 
Turntable channel imbalance
@leemaze How many DB are you talking about? 1, 2 or 3 DB in channel imbalance? Does your balance control correct the imbalance? Hopefully it’s not more than 2 DB. Please clarify for me, do you get an imbalance playing CD’s ?  Difficult to analyze... 
Turntable channel imbalance
Greetings  @leemaze Your TT has a fixed tracking force of 1.2 grams and the anti-skate is fixed to match the cartridge that came with the TT. The anti-skate is a fixed calibrated spring. It’s a plug and play TT. No adjustments. Joe Nies  
active crossover recommendation
@kenjit The OP asked for a recommendation for a analog active Xover 3-way. He didn’t ask for guidance on how to use one. If the OP asked for help on setting one up, I’m sure he would have gotten a lot of responses. Joe Nies
