Wet carpet under system
Water damage repairs should be available with your insurance policy. Even if it's not covered, they can recommend a specialist who could help out or give some expert advice. Like already mentioned, wet/dry vacs and large fans positioned correctly ... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
I simply don't get it. One can easily hear the differences in better power cords and one needn't spend a lot. That, and you can simply try it for yourself, unless you have a tin ear then all bets are off. That, and your life as an audiophile just ...

Bullshit! It just powers your cd player…How can 1 meter of copper at the end of 100 ft of copper Romex running to your breaker box improve sound? LOLOh lordy....how many times does that silly canard have to be shot down for the logical fallacy it ... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Thank goodness I live in the South West. That tidbit of info on the effects due to location and/or geography goes a long way to explain why some benefit from power conditioning and some don't, and why some don't hear the benefits after hearing of ...

This is fast becoming a fine kettle of fish. 🐡🐠🐟Let's not get off on a tangent, rely on semantics, and get all lawyerly. The last thing I want to do is address someone as esquire. 😄All the best,Nonoise 
Are "listening to" or "listening with"
I strive to always listen to, and not with. It's just when some anomaly rears it's head that's contrary to what I know to be true that I listen with until I can cure it. I'll have long moments when everything is fine until I run into a recording t...

It's not that we only want to hear what we agree with, it's that it's great to keep it civil.

I must say, it's great to read a thread where all the detritus is removed as it flows better, making better sense. It's almost poetic. 👍All the best,Nonoise

Very well said, Michael.  A lot of this stuff was supposedly settled a long time ago, or so I thought (as well).And as you said, thanks to the mods of A'gon as they've had a rather Herculean task as of late (or was is Ulysses?). 🤔 Anyway, it ranks...

It could be technically correct that the power cable is not in the signal chain but it can limit and alter the amps ability to accurately reproduce the signal by messing with the power. It's not that hard of a concept to wrap one's head around. I'... 
The awakening...
I'm happy for you but I doubt if you'll feel like you do in the long term, unless you can really let go of that last 20% you say is missing. I'm speaking from my personal experience, having arrived at my present system which I wouldn't let go for ...

I think Steve must have stumbled upon this thread as his insight on all of this is pretty spot on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRRe3soIZFU And, despite his reasoned approach, check out some of the naysayers in the comments section. They're cut...

Prof,Yes, you have. They sound like they'd fit in here, and their views would be appreciated. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Prof,You never answered a question I asked you quite some time ago. It went something like: What do your co-workers think about cables? If I remember correctly, you work in the recording industry so your peers are just as into audio as the rest of... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
The reason I never replied to @prof was that I went to sleep after my last post. The urgent and provocative nature of his reply belies what seems to be a basic need to argue, however skillfully, to no apparent end. The man loves to hear himself ta...
