| One Cord To Rule Them All @GlupsonFortunately, though I care deeply about many things, being labeled a "cable hater" is not one. I am capable of performing a double blind listening test, when I care to. I could also run a couple tests if I had an O-Scope. I also don't/wo... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All MillercarbonI am in Seattle and I greatly appreciate your kind offer to hear your system. I am sure it better than mine, as I am still working on the room to set it up in. Will PM you with contact info.I am simply saying that worrying about the ... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All Many apologies; I got the quote wrong. He said, "If it measures good and sounds bad, it's bad. If it measures bad and sounds good, you're measuring the wrong thing."Recklinghausen was the chief engineer for HH Scott back in the day. His long of... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All @thynameDude, if you have access to a cable lending library, experiment away!! I wish I could do that. As Don von Recklinghausen once said, "If it measures bad and sounds good, it's good. If it measures good and sounds bad, you're measuring the... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All @millercarbonFollowing your logic, perhaps the OP should buy another regenerator to deliver power to his other regenerator. Heck, maybe shove a third one in there, just to be safe. | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All @thynameOh, boy. Someone needs to take a few deep breaths and recite some mantras; I clearly pushed a button which apparently turned off their brain and made them forget what was being discussed. The OP asked for advice regarding a 5ft power for ... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All @OP - By all means, experiment to your heart's content. I'm all for trying things out. As you may have noticed, I am skeptical of power cord improvements, especially to a component that is itself designed to improve the power quality. Unfortuna... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All You want to get power from the wall to the regenerator over a distance of 5 feet? And you want to push 600 watts (5A at nominal voltage). How would you spend more than a couple of dollars doing that? Standard household power cable does that all... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. TROLL.Of course room treatments don't matter. Neither does the room size or shape, nor the surface materials, nor the type, size and placement of furniture, nor where you sit nor even which direction your speakers are facing.IF you're listening o... | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Also, the Sony. SS-M speakers were darn cool: SS-M3, SS-M7, SS-M9. I don't know the geometric term for their shape; maybe someone else here does? | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Don't know much modern gear so I'll list some vintage. Tandberg receivers, Marantz 2130, REL Precedent tuner; if you like Art Deco you'll like those last two.+1 on the B&O, Luxman, vintage Mac and 80's Technics gear. JBL 250Ti speakers.Dan D... | |
| High end Class D amps? Probably already mentioned but how about Lyngdorf? | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? Millercarbon's ridiculous assertion regarding receiver quality aside, if you are looking just for FM there's no reason to pick a receiver over a tuner, even though TOTL receivers often have excellent tuner sections. Tuners are designed to do one ... | |
| Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers If you can find a pair, the AV123 strata minis are pretty darn nice, and would be almost impossible for a baby to damage let alone knock over. | |
| laid back stereo power amp How about some older McIntosh amps - the MC 2125, for example. Or the B&K reference 200.2? Those are much less expensive options than some of the others suggested. |
