New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
With each additional mat that was placed in both the main panel and the sub-panel, the sound improved. I'm not taking them out. The system at this point is just right. It is seamless from top to bottom and to my ear, very transparent, three dimens...

Interesting. grannyring ... Is your new equipment tube or solid-state? How about the rest of you who have found an improvement by removing the mats from the circuit breaker box? Are you using tubes or solid-state? Frank 
Need advice
I use my Nakamichi deck to record some of my favorite LPs and play them in the car. The car stereo is a Mark Levinson sound system. All analog while cruising down the highway. Thrift stores are a great place for used cassettes. Be sure to buy only...

Badly recorded albums needing upgrading
Skyscraper ...I've been collecting jazz records since high school, and that was many moons ago. I can recommend some labels that recorded jazz very well and very few will disappoint.Look for anything from the middle 50s to the middle 60 on the fol... 
Thank you AudiogoN and users, for civility....
I’ll bet my cookies are better than your cookies. *lol*With that said, let’s debate something really important:I love maple syrup on my waffles and pancakes. I’ve found that Grade-B maple syrup is more dense in character and richer in flavor. As a... 
Synergistic Research Cable Risers?
"If there’s one thing that ought to be abundantly clear its that we are pretty good with getting bulk crude power from A to B, but when it comes to the extreme subtleties of the micro-level signals that make all the difference between high end pro...
