Up Next... Power Liine Conditioners, DACs and DSPs
check my string called "Line Conditioners." Most that are "worth their salt" are mentioned in my string. My only advice is get ready to spend at least $1k, otherwise your just buying a high priced surge supressor. 
Line Conditioners
I "discovered" the Power Plant:D I was their biggest fan when PSAudio introduced them, however, I am not about to spend over $3K on a piece that won't even power my entire system. I like the Power Plant's theorhetical design, but it is not practic...

Definitly sounds like some sort of fault protection. I would get a watch and time it. Does this happen at the exact same time frame? Also, DO contact the seller. If he was good enough to offer the warrenty, use it!! Besides, he may know more about...

monitor or floorstander?
fugi,I recently auditioned Canton speakers in an effort to gauge the quality of my paradigm Reference 100s (Paradigm won by far) however there was a monitor by Canton that blew me away. I'm not suggesting Canton itself, but a quality monitor (whic...

Non Audiophiles are funny people
I enjoy peoples look on their faces when they see my rig...its only a $13000 setup (only I say, but hey, life is perspectives). I especially enjoy turning the front display off on my lexicon and hearing people say "how does it work when its turned... 
please help a rookie
true true true...fix the room first!!! If you cant do rugs, then get as much wall furnishings on the walls as possible. I just moved, and my new place showed me excactly what a bad room can do to good sound.good luckm- 
Power Conditioners
Yes they work, but they work in different degrees. If you are one of the unfortunate souls who has "bad" power, a line conditioner will have a more dramatic effect than for one who has "good" power. A good quality (a very subjective phrase) line c...

Digital vs Optical for DVD player
I understand Macm's opinion, and agree to a point. I don't completely understand the science behind it all, however I also don't understand Quantum Physics. I do know this, I used a high end Transparent digital coax cable and compared it to a mid-...
