Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
Al,Thank you for the clarification and I do understand both of your points of view but I’m still curious and I’m going to order one to compare.If I like it better than what I presently use I will keep it,if not it will sale.Proof will be in the li... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
I would like to talk about USB cables a little,now I know this subject is highly subjective and controversial and if I didn’t try some different ones in my system,I wouldn’t have found the perfect match in Synergy for my system.I didn’t think in t...

“You’re right about one thing, the AC current does travel in both directions. But only one of those directions is audible. See if you can guess which one. A prize for the right answer. ”+1 on this simple statement.Kenny. 
bose 501 speakers
I would have to agree with Lance on this one,all those Ess speakers were much better to my ears also during the day.I know several people that still have them going in my area even after all these yrs.Kenny.

“The big Western Electric horns from the 1930's beat these by a mile!”I’ve seen pics of these,oh my.Kenny. 
Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000
Yes I would also recommend the Janszen Valentina’s,I owned a pair for 6months and the owner David Janszen is about the nicest and smartest guy you may ever meet.David told me he now can install 2 eight inch woofers in them that do a little better ...

I would say that the 2170 and probably the 3400 need around 250 hrs to be at their very best,mainly related to the wonderful soundstage that they can deliver being truthful to the individual recordings.Enjoy,Kenny. 
Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!!
Oh well,I kinda figured they were going in this direction.I agree with roxy,maybe they will keep all of their test equipment and find a qualified person to continue on.Kenny. 
I like Steve Guttenberg.
I looked past his 70’s long hair and found a couple of his videos entertaining even if I don’t agree with some of what he has to say.Enjoy,Kenny.

Absolutely,how about these,or do you have a problem with these also.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/who-has-luv-for-the-lyngdorf-2170-and-is-thinking-about-the-3...https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/room-placement-for-lawrence-audio-dou... 
Tube pre-amps: balanced a big deal?
“The trick is that the equipment has to support the balanced standard, otherwise known as AES file 48. Many 'high end audio' components do not, which means that you may not realize all the benefits of going balanced.”Spot on as usual.Kenny.

Your room isn’t that big IMO,so I would stay away from anything to big unless you are going to do room treatments and or use a amplifier that has room correction.10k is a good budget and if you shop around,like I did,you can buy something that ret...

5% gain is quite a bit to expect with any pwr cord change from just a stock thick gauge cord.I’ve been using upgraded cords for a long time,generally make my own,and without question they do lwr the noise floor,have better defined dynamics,and are...
