| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Its a trade off. In my room over the years its been quite the sound lab. At first completely empty it was easy to hear even the smallest change. Put just one amp on the floor between the speakers, or a TV screen, even way back a good 5 feet behind... | |
| AC Dedicated Line Okay, actual experience here. Installed panels, drilled holes, run wires, done it all. Run my system off the conventional wiring, then ran my own dedicated line, upgraded that with a transformer, built my own- well you get it. I know what I'm talk... | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s cleeds: It seems to be common that many who've discovered the benefits of improved cable started as skeptics. That really frustrates the measurementalists who claim "placebo effect" to explain why some prefer better cables. "Measurementalists",... | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s sleepwalker65: The power cord only comes into play on amplifiers if of insufficient gauge for the current draw. So maybe you will explain to me why changing power cords makes so much difference on my CD player. It draws only a few amps. Yet pow... | |

| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon cleeds bloviates: And those posts - "as much criticism as we can throw at them" - are often deleted by the moderators, and rightly so.

I did and it sucked!What I would take from the demo is that performance is inversely proportional to $. ieales (yes, same one) As point of ... | |
| 1973 Seattle. It literally is right across the street. | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s I was fortunate enough to have learned this early on, around 1994.Every piece of wire- be it power cord, interconnect, speaker cable, or even fuse- is just as much a component as the amps and speakers everyone knows about. Changing from a stock fu... | |
| 1973 In 1973 I thought Reefer Madness was a documentary.By 1980 I thought Reefer Madness was a hilarious send-up comedy.Today Reefer Madness means the prices will be good at the store across the street. | |
| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon The Gold Standard of dealer posts is Audiokinesis aka Duke Lejuene who is always extraordinarily informative, on point, and modest to a fault. Even after I figured out he was the owner of Audiokinesis it was hard to believe because even when cover... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? I'm asking about the interface between the speaker and the stand. Right. Its all one thing.Speaker/stand is the exact same thing as stand/floor.Forget that trapped in his own mind Atkinson guy. It works like this:Almost all the vibration is co... | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: Okay. Whatever.Meanwhile, back OT, how in the world do you call something a history of high end cables and not mention Synergistic Research???! | |
| 1973 Interesting. Its 1973. I'm 16 in a basement bedroom with some speakers, forget the name but they were bought from Radio Shack. Usually they would go up on a dresser but if placed on the floor the right distance from the walls and you lay on the fl... |
