My room is pretty good, and my system comes alive at around 60db with the sound on good recordings extending wall to wall and bass that h... | |

| Chord M Scaler with HiFi Rose 130 streamer? @moose89 +1 for the better streaming service. Hifi Rose pieces are in a different league than Bluesound in-terms of industrial design and execution. So take this for what it is - a hack of a mass produced consumer grade product, but I found repla... | |

| Has this ever happened to you? @xenolith +1 to your honey. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks The Absolute Sound article posted by @chuck is very thorough and sounds right to my non-electrician ears. I wish it was available when I purpose built my listening room from the studs out 15 years ago, including the power lines from the breaker b... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks To address the OP’s first question, yes, the power cable from the wall to the power conditioner is critically important, at least that is my personal experience. I recently upgraded the supply cable from the wall to my conditioner/distributor and... | |

| Does a good power conditioner reduce need for power supply upgrade? @emergingsoul thanks, it has been fun to put it together. I will look at options to replace the streamer.
