| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? Thanks for following up nutty. | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? nutty, the standard 8 place Wiremold has worked well for years for me, but I wonder about the current limiting part. Yes, no limiting from geometry and lack of conditioning or switches in the line. But the Wiremold's fixed supply cable is 14AWG, ... | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? artemus_5, did you buy the Shunyata Venom package, or did you go a different way? Curious how the Venom strip and cable worked for you or others. | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? I saw the Venom package from Shunyata and was intrigued too. I am using their Defender in a simple Wiremold power strip and find that it seriously quiets my analog front end that consists of an old Thorens TT, Grado Platinum cartridge and Grado ph... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers I have not heard the Spendor or Tannoy's listed, but of the others, I would suggest the ProAc's for your preferences. | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? My experience has been (with less expensive DACs than you are using) there is a clear difference in the sound of different USB cables. But also that low cost is not a guarantee of weak sonic performance - some $10-$12 cables sound much better than... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? essrand, what did you end up using for your cable from source to DAC? | |

| What's your biggest surprise in hifi? Agree with totem395, biggest surprise over the years is how important, and in some cases fundamentally limiting, your listening room can be. Good kit in a great room can often sound way better than a great kit in a compromised space.And how manuf... | |
| Best banana plugs 2016 Ok, bought these silver plated copper body banana connectors from Furez based on williwonka's advice and scan of the market. They arrived in two days, great service from Douglas Connections! Installed them and have to say right out of the packag... | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations dne, is the Wireworld cable glass or synthetic fiber? Just curious. | |
| Best banana plugs 2016 These look very promising. Thanks williwonka!kn | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations +3 with Kijanki and ghosthouse. I use this low cost glass fiber cable in preference to Audioquest Cinnamon cable with synthetic fibers which retails for ~$80 for 1.5m. AQ cable doesn't sound bad, but Glass cable sounds a bit faster with better at... |
