Upscale Audio is up front with customers
I'm curious as to when Kevin stopped being a Tannoy dealer. I only ask because it was known as far back as some 20 years that all of Tannoy's high end speaker cabinets were made and finished in China. That was around the time I went to TEAC headqu... 
Audio companies in the mirror

Is the "improvement" real or imnagined?
After finalizing the sale of some speakers that I had yet to pack up, I bought some Barcelona replica chairs to replace a mircofiber sofa with chaise and after swapping them out, the sound (especially the base) improved so much that I instantly re... 
Potential relief for tinnitus?
My mild case of tinnitus can go unnoticed mostly all year round but this and the last year have been bad due to whatever the hell it is that's going around during flu season that's not the flu or Covid.  It settles into one's sinuses causing pres... 
Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada
@devinplombier Me getting tedious? You're kidding, right? Soon after I factually refuted your comment, my post was deleted, only for to you say what I refuted again. What, pray tell, does that seem like to anyone following this thread? It could b... 
Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada
Keep on plodding along with the same inane and uniformed comments on what you don't know. It's all we have for entertainment tonight.  As for this jewel, And the DNC Polling Analysts still won't publicly admint why Harris got her tail whipped i... 
Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada
And there goes good ol' @devinplombier, deleting my post that refute his ridiculous claims. Why is it you can't tolerate an informed rebuttal? Do you honestly think that those who've already read my response have forgotten it or that it's now gone... 
Potential relief for tinnitus?
Can't wait for it to come in a pill. To paraphrase Cher, if it came in a bottle, everyone would use it.  All the best, Nonoise  
Which end is which?
Here's a link to a study done back in 1967 by a person who ran tests for a US Navy contract to determine the best type of connector for cabling in a submarine. With limited resources at sea, results had to be repeatable and reliable.  Things have... 
If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers
My experience has been to use a higher quality single run of speaker cables with the same make for jumpers. Factor in the cost of the jumpers when choosing a line of speaker cables and you'll be fine.  All the best, Nonoise  
WHICH POWER CONDITIONER IS BETTER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE WITH ISOLATION TRANSFORMERS
@carlsbad2 It's strange but I've read that and finally experienced it. Before the Marantz, I had a Kinki integrated that sounded the same no matter the configuration but the Marantz just couldn't cut it on it's own.  All the best, Nonoise  
WHICH POWER CONDITIONER IS BETTER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE WITH ISOLATION TRANSFORMERS
I'm glad this came up. I've always been in the camp that passive conditioning is the way to go, just filtering out the noise on the line. Every time I got new equipment, it always sounded better on my Niagara 1200 passive conditioner so when I got... 
Trojan Warning?
@larsman - I hope they don't defund those detectors like they have been doing for others. I like to stay virus free.  
Trojan Warning?
Just out of curiosity, was the warning not to use it more than once?  
Trojan Warning?
Nothing amiss here on my side except that I now noticed that Malwarebytes no longer shows up on my toolbar. For the longest time they've been trying to get me to purchase their Premium version, which I won't. I can only now access it when searchin...
