Footers Under Power Conditioners?
There was a huge upgrade with the CM footers under the X1. Highly recommended! It seems everything matters with the X1, even the type of cables used. It just keeps getting better.There was also an improvement using them under the Nagara 7000 but n...

Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude?
I recently listed an item on Audiogon for $1050 that sells pretty regularly for $1500 or more. One guy offered $500. I rejected it right away, then he offered $600, I felt no obligation to do more than also reject quickly. BTW, the item sold quick... 
Separate conditioner for amps, or all in one unit?
I own the Audioquest Niagara 7000. I have my Dac and mono blocks plugged into it. I found the Niagara greatly improves the performance of my tube amps over just plugging them into the wall. You will be impressed!ozzy

Vibration Control and the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods
You guys need to try the Critical Mass footers. It was really an eye (ear) opener. Huge soundstage and such a natural sound improvement.I ended up selling all my Stillpoints and springs, which helped pay for the footers. (They are a bit pricey).Pu... 
What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system?
Rod Stewart- "What Do You Want Me To Do".Not so much in sonic quality but the message in the song.ozzy 
Control volume with DAC or Preamp?
I think it depends on the Dac.I used to own the PS Audio Direct Stream Dac. Running direct to my amps it was a bit anemic.Now that I own the Lumin X1 it sounds waayyy better running direct to the amps. I ended up selling my Ayre preamp.  Which hel...
