Hooking up a subwoofer to preout
russ69 makes a very good point. Only use a variable output for your subs. ozzy  
Why Do You Post?
Lets face it, if we only relied on paid professional reviews we would all own the same gear. I mean the same equipment manufactures are reviewed by the mags month after month. At least here we get a chance to read about other audiophiles actual e... 
"World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects
Sounds like this thread has entered a time shift back to the 1970's... ozzy  
How to tell if your AC wiring needs an upgrade
erik_squires, Thank you for that fine explanation. I was just curious because the ad of this device showed that N-E reading as 02. Should that read 02 or 2? So, then I am wondering what steps are needed to get it back to zero? I have 3 dedicated...

What is the N-E voltage? What should it read? ozzy  
Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent?
nyev, No, in my case once I added the demo /used (well broken in) Shunyata Sigma V2 power cord things went backwards in sound quality. I believe it was mostly due to the power conditioner I am using. (Niagara 7000). Perhaps if the conditioner wa... 
Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent?
I hope this helps. I also tried the Shunyata Sigma V2 NR cable and the Audioquest Hurricane along with so many others through the years. The Shunyata did not have the openness and dynamics that I was hoping for based on my Shunyata Sigma V2 inter...

First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
curiousjim, After reviewing your speakers, I do think that the Gaia’s would work better. The design is such that the outriggers support the speakers. ozzy  
Grounding cable gauge size
tecknik, Well I am still experimenting. I have removed the Russ Andrews ground lead to my Niagara 7000. I think the Niagara does more ground clean up by itself. So, today I have the Russ Andrews unit leads to the chassis of my Lumin X1 power sup...

seanheis1, I am just stating my ACTUAL experience since I own both the Gaias and the Townshends. No plugs just trying to share information. ozzy  
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
jdub39, I am using the Furutech NCF Rhodium I have 6 of them on my 3 dedicated lines. But, I hear ya and I may get a Audioquest Edison specifically for my Niagara 7000. ozzy  
Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today
I do think there is something about this wires design that did not mesh with my equipment. More resistance? I dunno. I am using tubes amps and when I tried these cables the bass, treble and dynamics was anemic. It had a good midrange though. And,...
