| Power Conditioners Those two are nothing more than overbuilt power strips. For not much more you could get a Synergistic Blue or Orange outlet that really would make a difference. But there's a lot of other more cost effective improvements and it would make sense to... | |
| To bind or not to bind? This is the question! Does binding of this nature adversely affect the performance of the wires? If so, why? Yes its a problem. Electrically, induction, as explained above. But you've also created a vibration control problem. Hard to say which is worse. Usually these ... | |
| power cord directionality Its called a circuit. The lines are hot and neutral, not positive and negative. Directional qualities are inherent in the materials not created by manufacturers. And the signals speaker cables and interconnects carry is AC not DC. Oh and you will ... | |
| Most amusing album or song titles I don’t know about the album or song titles exactly, but the songs by Jake Thackray are hilarious!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORQsxTUV_Tghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wArg1PQ5O4g&list=PLOw-INr2WVbhPSJs0IwUkxgHy0Bz54DER | |
| Unreal prices Open your eyes, this is perfectly normal. Yet for some reason everywhere I go its always the same. The people who should know the most turn out to be the most oblivious. So let me explain it to you.Its not that the receivers or whatever are so gre... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? 21,500 irrelevant posts. Prove me wrong. Provide a link.Any one will do. Just one. How hard could it be? | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. teajay is the exception that proves the rule. Six Moons and Stereo Times are two of the better review sites. | |
| Do cables need to be re-broken in? People with lousy (nonexistent) listening skills love to crack jokes. The differences some of these things make are beyond easy to hear. One time I came home to a new IC and with little time between shifts raced to hook it up right out of the box.... | |
| What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost? Something like that happened to me, where UPS said they delivered when they didn’t. Probably they did deliver somewhere, just not here. The worst part is unless its delivery signature required they consider it delivered when the driver says he lef... | |
| What was in your first "real" higher end audio system? My first high end system? Its a continuum with no real obvious beginning. My first real high end component however, the one that opened my ears more than any other, was the McCormack DNA1. By the time it became my first system the McCormack had be... | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. Let me tell you guys what I know about reviewers. If you're obsessed with audio you can be a reviewer. If your appetite for new gear far exceeds your ability to purchase said gear and you are able to learn a few terms and string them together not ... | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. Well I'll be, noromance that is worth a listing in the Glossary of Audiophile Terminology! Well done! | |
| What footers for Dunlavy V's Believe it or not footers are just like everything else. They are either good or they are bad, or they are bad in a way that balances out other stuff you have that is bad. The good footers are BDR Cones. They are good because they are so neutral a... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Hey GK, since you're the expert on relevance, what exactly is the relevance of your long cut and paste job about black holes? Oh and you never did give us your reasoning behind why vibration matters. Please. Share. Share. etc etc. | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion 30 years ago, to find really effective vibration control, it would indeed have to be beginners luck. Black Diamond Racing pretty much had the market to themselves. Now though there are plenty to choose from, probably even some that are better. Tak... |
