| Has this ever happened to you? Yes, about two years ago and nothing's happened to change my mind. | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? Asking a bunch of audiophiles what's too much is akin to asking any addict what's too much. Right question, wrong focus group. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Does a good power conditioner reduce need for power supply upgrade? I live in an older apartment building in a neighborhood with lots of old homes being torn down and replaced with condos (cash registers). Even before the gentrification of the neighborhood, the power was iffy, maybe once every several months I'd e... | |

| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? I'm in complete agreement with everything the OP brought up and have been for quite some time. From what I could glean from the many fine responses is that there's a lot more who feel the same way. That, and I learned a new word today, 'atelic'. T... | |
| What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost? If you eliminate the hype, the sales pitches and the peer pressure, you'd be surprised at how good your system can sound. Once you step outside yourself for a moment, you realize that it's all rather ephemeral and like already mentioned, relative... | |
| Nuisance tripping of AFCI circuit breaker by inrush of current when turning on amplifiers If you are going to rewire separate dedicated circuits, please read this from The Absolute Sound. It came out this month and is by Vince Galbo of Galbo Design and input from MSB Technology. HIs best advice is: I repeat: Be smart here, give this... | |
| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? Was that snark? | |
| Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!! It's just price gouging. Move on. Read any in depth review of a $3K integrated from the last 3 years and see how the Billie measures up. It's not worth the novelty. Another example of limbic capitalism. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation Love hearing the stories of FedEx from those in the know. I knew someone who worked as a FedEx mechanic back in the ’80s in a leased building on Van Nuys Airport property. Everyone loved working there at the time. Great salary and benefits, opport... | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation I just had a FedEx delivery for a new office/computer chair and it went flawlessly. Big box, 35# chair, up on the 2nd floor and I sat at my computer not 20' from an open door and didn't hear a thing. He even cleared the front security gate without... | |
| Equipment insurance coverage I took a quick look and unless the law was changed, you have the option to remove personal property coverage and not the insurer if you live in Florida. And if you rent or live in a condo, it cannot be taken off the policy. There were a lot of sh... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I wouldn't worry about brightness levels as TVs have, indeed, come a long way. Brightness levels on OLEDs are just fine for me as I don't keep the windows open while watching. That, and the brightness levels other types have used to be warned agai... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Negative reviews get way more press than positive reviews. It's always been that way. Like already stated, Costco and Best Buy are two good choices that come to mind. I've bought TVs from both and had good experiences from both. They come in, help... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... I’ve been using Darwin Cables for many years and they are the best I’ve heard. Not bright, great base, wonderful mids, airy highs, detail without etch, etc. They get out of the way of the music like cables are supposed to. Low mass connectors, ver... |
