A $250 Power Conditioner?
I have one of these Entech noise analyzer that I purchased maybe 2 years ago based on a previous discussion, so I tested things out. On setting up on an unfiltered outlet, it would only have an affect from the one Puron that is within 5 feet of m... 
A $250 Power Conditioner?
@amtprod "Again, $35 and it does the same thing." How would you know this to be true? I would assume that there are many factors contributing to dirtying ones electricity. What do you base your belief of identical performance on?     LP   
A $250 Power Conditioner?
@mikeba316 I currently am using 9 with a few additional that I am currently evaluating. My system concern is becoming too dynamic which is so source material and location dependent. My best guess to this point for my rig is somewhere between 10 ... 
A $250 Power Conditioner?
The doubters of this product needs to audition them in their own environment. I’m pretty sure Mark at Vera-fi offers a satisfaction guarantee testing. Most in our hobby will find the pricing reasonable. I was very skeptical early on, and even had...

Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport

Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport
@ajays  I purchased my unit from Underwood Wally who was all about customer service pertaining to the issues with the RS2-T's he sold.  The distributor's rep Jesse on initial contact was discussing repairing the unit. That was not acceptable to ... 
Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport
My replaced unit only makes some sounds as it loads the disc. During play it is almost completely silent. A proper functioning unit should be quiet.  
New Project RS2T transport
@astronomer63  I've lost power several times this year with my RS2-T always being in standby mode. It now seems the best approach under these circumstances is to just leave the unit on. When I first encountered an outage with the unit in standby,... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
@verafiaudio  Hi Mark... Your recollection of my set up is very good. I would only say in contrast that the challenge is not with my wiring however, yes for locations I am limited with only 2 wall outlets with single slots available. That is if ... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
My experience with the Puron conditioners to this point has taken a slightly different course. The first unit I received convinced me also of the build quality and performance of this small but extremely effective device. Wonderful product. Afte... 
Scary white substance on Polyethylene Sleeves
the powder substance will not do any harm to the records, but it is an ingredient used to avoid the film from adhering together.    I wonder if that applies to the "Living Stereo" records as well.  
Sweet Sounding DAC
OP...You stated the Lab 12 has the sound qualities you're looking for. Can you then use the rest of your Bricasti proceeds to upgrade your cabinet to accommodate your preferred DAC?      LP  
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
@mijostyn Back in the mid to late 80's I had Tympani 4's. The earlier version where the 3 panels did not separate. I converted my garage with advice from the Winey's to have one wall built on a slight angle to eliminate parallel walls. I then ins... 
The best speaker cables you’ve had
