Shunyata Research Venom Defender or High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Power Conditioner?
That can actually work out to around $1400 if they’re all B-stock, which mine are. I examined all three and I couldn’t find any marks or blemishes. In fact, they looked brand new.And, if it means anything, when I spoke to someone at the CableCo., ... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
2psyops, Sorry to hear that. When you think about it, it's funny that dealers/manufacturers would do that on the one hand, and yet still want the freedom to post even if it crosses the line.If one can't separate their job from their hobby, then al... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
Doesn't Audio Circle avoid all of this by denoting a member as a dealer when they participate in their forums? It's never quelled, muzzled, censored or silenced anyone. They also have sections dedicated to specific dealers and their wares. Seems l... 
Power cord recommendation for a dac?
But hey guys!.. I read the manual and looked at the schematics and it says it's supposed to do this thing and that so that's all I need to know.Why should I have to listen to it, or anything, for that matter. I just know it to be true. Your senses... 
1973
1973, a year out of high school and my first exposure to stereo when my future, and eventually ex, brother in law comes back from the service with some Japanese stereo gear he got from the base PX. Been hooked ever since.

Are they chocolate chip? 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
Quite so. But it might be nice for dealers to have the option of an identifying symbol.A very good point and one that I believe has been advocated before. It would inherently put a poster and those who read them on notice and would be self policin... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
You gotta love the purity tests being advocated here. Nothing more than a perfect example of political correctness gone amok. As long as a dealer stays within the guidelines proposed by the OP (which had always been the de facto approach here), th... 
How I tamed digital glare.
Wow, my last post of "+1" for two previous posts (one which is still up) was deleted. It didn't violate any rules and yet.....Time for the kids to eat at their own table.All the best,Nonoise 
Barometric pressure, temperature, moon phase?
Trying to deflect something that happened recently in an offhanded way? 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
What the OP says....+1. 
How I tamed digital glare.
Talk about projection. No one is doing what you accuse them of. No one said "perfect sound forever." The only embracing done is by those who dislike an opposing view. The premises drawn are just a straw man argument meant to deflect by attributing... 
What DB level is best for judging audio equipment?
I highest I listen is somewhere in the mid 80 db range and I can hear all the details and differentiation present in the music, done in a realistic fashion. At lower levels, it's all still there but just not in so convincing a manner.Anything high... 
Power cord recommendation for a dac?
Sounds like someone is carrying baggage from a previous thread and just can't let go. By the way, I'll second the Triode Wire Labs PC. Also, Cullen Cable has more in his line up than when I got the TWL Digital American. HIs top line PC still comes... 
Power cord recommendation for a dac?
The lay of the land here is pretty much understood and yet abused. There are threads that just beg for debate and anyone’s free to join in the food fight. It’s not about "owning the bandwidth." It’s about someone highjacking your thread and eventu...
