| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? @ghdprentice Thank you. I aspire to your room and attention to detail you have described in both your forum and system posts regarding your room and setup to maximize your system SQ. While we have both made distinct equipment design choices we... | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? I am happy with my system. I dream of a domicile large enough to have a dedicated, treated room with more dedicated mains that my system deserves. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Another post for me. On September 19, 1980, I and my future wife saw Bob Marley and the Wailers as the opening act for the rhythm and blues band The Commodores. 75% or more of the garden was there to see Bob. Many left before the Commodores perfo... | |
| Power cables and power conditioners Apologies for typos and spelling check issues. Reviews = review. Rotting = in. | |
| Power cables and power conditioners Yes, there are only subjective conclusions in the press, nothing objective I know of. For example, I have read reviews conclusions that the Audience T series produces better system SQ with the expensive Audience First row power cable. I will giv... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? NRPS for the Dead at the Capital Theater, Port Chester, NY on 02/23/1971. Seeing both bands in a small venue, and Jerry on pedal steel with NRPS was a musical life changing experience. A deadhead forever after that concert. | |
| Pure Silver Wire In very general terms, and in fear of stating the obvious: You do not see more solid silver cables due to cost of materials. Silver cables tend to sound fast, clear, and thin. I used a highly regarded by The Absolute Sound solid silver de... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Separate preamps and power amps provide greater flexibility to customize SQ by mixing and matching brands and models at the additional expense of interconnects, power cords, racking area, and vibration isolation. Some will say separate chassis pr... | |
| Has this ever happened to you? Congratulations on reaching audiophile nirvana. Yes it has happened to me several times, but not spontaneously. Rather it has occurred during evaluating or installing component upgrades when I my analytical persona expresses itself. After some... | |
| physiology and psychology of hearing In other words spousal selective hearing or pushing the mute button on the TV remote. | |
| physiology and psychology of hearing Thank you for the link. The medical term for what the content developer discusses is “auditory processing disorder” (ADP) - a disorder affecting the ability of the brain to process sound without loss of hearing sensitivity. It manifests in one o... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS While I am glad you are using listening techniques to make your decision, your premise is incorrect IMHO. The processing technology alone does not dictate SQ but rather the design intent of the engineering team, especially the combination of the ... | |
| High pitch buzz in speakers after adding some LEDs I do not have direct experience since I do not use LED lighting in my home theater. I will however confirm that, from a quality engineering perspective, LED lighting has a potential for causing audio feedback. LED lighting uses a switching power... | |
| Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later. My favorite in the spiritual jazz album category is Yusef Lateef, “Eastern Sounds”. | |
| Does a good power conditioner reduce need for power supply upgrade? I am a little confused. By an external power supply, do you mean an audiophile quality power regenerator? Let’s assume you do mean a regenerator like a Furman, PS Audio, Etc. A power regenerator is designed to produce pure sine wave AC without ... |
