| Active or passive power conditioner? Upgradeitus | |
| Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner? Now that my new dedicated AC line is installed, I am deciding on replacing or combining my very pricey Shunyata PC with a PS Audio regenerator. The difference between running my mono blocks directly into the new line or connecting to the Shunyata... | |
| Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner? Anyone have experience with a PS Audio regenerating unit (P15 or 20)? Active vs Passive? | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Looks are important. Surely speakers are most prominent and the most important visual. Personally, I find most box speakers somewhat unattractive. At least the square box ones. Sonus Farber has sculpted boxes which are very aesthetic pleasing. For... | |
| Pigskin or jico leather mat Anybody want to but the Tenuto? Cheap… | |
| Pigskin or jico leather mat I had a Tenuto Gunmetal mat. The Oyaide mat blew it away! | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @havocman IME, there was no adjustment necessary. I just placed my speakers on the podiums and that was that. I did ask Townshend if this was proper. They said yes. | |
| Pigskin or jico leather mat Hey Ralph, I tried turning down my volume all the way when playing a LP. Heard no sound of the cartridge at all. Guess my new mat is doing a great job. I changed from the vinyl Oracle mat you recommended and now have the Oyaide tungsten infused ... | |
| Balanced versus single ended @atmasphere Hey Ralph, You absolutely convinced me that I did not need an expensive IC when using your amps and preamp. Has that changed now that I am using my AGD amps? Do you know if AGD supports the balanced standard. And do cables make a d... | |
| Large speaker recommendation I believe that speakers do not necessarily work best with certain genres of music. And when comparing larger, $30Kish ones they, mostly, do big scale well. However, speakers definitely have a “house sound” which usually represents the designer’s... | |
| Best Phono Stage Pleased to see the recommendations for the Zesto Andros. Before I went with my Atma-Sphere MP-1 full function preamp, I almost bought a Zesto. Ever since I heard one at RMAF, I was sure that it was about the best phono stage ever. Beautiful, lusc... | |
| Vladimir Lamm RIP Sad news. His name was actually Shuschurin (sp?). I had spoken with him several times. His creations are truly top notch. He especially favored his tube amps. | |
| Why Do You Post? My central experience on this forum has been to learn about ways fellows have advanced their systems. AC, amps, tweaks, etc. When a critical mass of posts rave positively or promote a particular issue, it clearly becomes something that should be c... | |
| Axpona 2022 AGD are Gan based Class D. However, their Gan “chip” is proprietary. | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I run AGD Audion mono blocks. They are destination amps for me. For decades, I was a die hard SET guy. Was always turned away from SS because of the SS glare or edge. Not a problem with the AGDs. And the lack of distortion is a game changer. Kno... |
