Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why?
Then in the ’90s slowly they both became a huge profit market for stores and manufacturers of them.Pure narrative. The problem with narrative, it relies on innuendo and implication rather than facts and logic. The implication is there is nothing o... 
Audiophile virtues
Repetition is a teaching tool some of us just need more than others. Maybe read a few more times, eventually some of it might sink in? 
Why no high end battery powered wireless speaker systems?
Yeah, you have much to learn, grasshopper. To get power (watts) you need amps, and (pop quiz) what else?  
Isolation Feet Recommendation for Equipment Rack
I have just ordered 3 Giai feet to try under the turntable. Stunning that some of the isolation units for speakers cost more than some speakers I've owned. I'm sure the law of diminishing returns applies to these.Sorry if I wasn't clear, it sure... 
Purple Quantum Fuses really?
How many audiophiles does it take to listen?One. But he has to want to.Wasn't meant as a joke.

One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
No amount of reading. I see. Just curious. Which "decent knowledgeable, enthusiastic salesman" would recommend Tekton, Raven, Decware, all of which are sold direct? What salesman would recommend Origin Live, Herron, Soundsmith and other top brands... 
Forum admiration and requested guidance
You mentioned the Decware ZP3 for the phono preamp. On their website it mentions a step up transformer for moving coil cartridges. I’m assuming the ZMC1 would have to be included if I chose to stick with the Hana (Low MC), correct?Right. I didn't ... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
Coincidentally there is a recent review in audio science review in which RCA cables from three distributors, with fairly wide price differences, are compared from both a performance and an auditory perspective. No significant differences were foun... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
I started to watch the video but the first statement in the video: "The square wave and the sine wave are the same thing only with distortion" is complete lunacy. Anyone who knows elementary Fourrier theory knows that, so I couldn’t sallow any mor... 
How much is this subwoofer worth?

Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units?
If you upgraded a point-to-point wired tube amp or preamp, what did you upgrade? I assume capacitors, but was there anything else which you upgraded that made a genuine difference for the sound?I am looking into improving the caps in my Quicksilve...

Being used to vinyl and being in a dedicated room I have a hard time seeing you as anything but disappointed in streaming. It simply will not hold your attention. We had a group here sit rapt for 2 hours listening to vinyl, almost all walked out t... 
Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
No need to apologize mahgister, especially not when so rudely insulted by jerryg123 who is after all only jumping to conclusions.I tried three times to start a discussion about how it is that we learn to hear things we are not accustomed to hearin... 
One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
Oh, the internet can be a whole lot better than "Buy and try." There is this thing called learning from others experience. Most only learn from their own experience. This is another level. It can take some time to get it down. Once you do though, ...
