| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? I think great music never dies,just changes in the form of new arrangements. | |
| Surge protection with triggered outlets Panamax or Tripp Lite are both excellent products with lifetime warranties.Try before you buy,and keep in mind you won't know if you need the filtration until you have the unit installed.If your system is indeed much quieter,it becomes obvious.IMO... | |
| Surge protection with triggered outlets Panamax is an excellent product with a lifetime warranty.The filtration is to prevent noise from appliances [fridge,havac,etc.] and RFI if thats a problem in your area.Check out Tripwire, also a lifetime warranty.You can try them out and return th... | |
| Best power cord for digital Another vote for JPS Labs. | |
| Noticeable step up from my DH-75 Silver Sonic... All you can do is try a few cables that you can audition for thirty days and return if they don't compliment your system.XLR cables are for avoiding problems with EMI and RFI.If there's an RCA connection at one end that defeats the purpose.If you ... | |
| Listening fatigue Definitely experiment with ics first,then speaker cable.It can make a huge improvement.You absolutely do not have to spend mega $ to hear large improvements.Check out Bluejeans cables for a start.They have a thirty day trial period, so no risk. | |
| DIY cable solution--what are my best options? There are plenty of folks that make their own cables,and plenty of DIY instructions on the internet.Doesn't hurt to give it a try.I've only made speaker cables so can't offer any specifics on ICs. | |
| Budget-Friendly Interconnects? Morrow cables are not warm.They are clean and clear.Nice cables but probably not what you're looking for.Harmonic Technology are warmish cables.I have a pair of M.A.C. Velvets in my "spare" box if you'd like to give 'em a try.Pay for shipping and ... | |
| THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT. Changing your outlets can affect a change of the same magnitude as changing a cable or component.And somehow the various brands impart different "flavors."One would think any sturdily built outlet with a tight grip would reduce noise,and they defi... | |
| Your opinions on an AC incident Thanks for the recommendation,I was doing some research on outlets other than PS Audio and not seeing much interesting.Lots of BS.One company recommended taking the electrical box out of the wall and installing their outlet with no covering.Never ... | |
| Your opinions on an AC incident Yes, the grain was on all frequencies.The main speakers are run from the sub, the sub is run from the amps not the preamp, so one thing effects all others.As stated in the first post,I have a dedicated line w/PS Audio outlet installed.All of the o... | |
| Your opinions on an AC incident My fault for an incomplete description.The sub is hooked up via speaker cables from mono block amps,then from sub to main speakers.Why does changing outlets change the sound?Is it the outlets themselves or the length of the run from the breaker bo... | |
| Iso Base You may be thinking of MapleShade products. | |
| What powercable for a Linn Majik CD? Shunyata cx series power cables are excellent.I use a JPS Labs digital AC power cable that I like very much.It removes any noise that may be created by the digital component itself.Those are two possibilities to check out.Best of luck to you in yo... | |
| It's all over now, baby blue. Or is it not? I had similar positive experiences with my two kids.They never touched the stereo equipment or cds.I used to play music they loved to sing and dance to and they had their own kiddie cassette decks and later on their own receivers,cd players,and sp... |
