Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @paradisecom The harmony remotes with hubs are great. No longer sold, but still supported (and available used) with most major components supported and learning. I have 3, 2 with hubs (harmony ultimate) on my 2 systems & and one (700) without ... | |
Suggestions for a holographic preamp? I have the BHK pre with none of the issues cited. Works wonderfully, comes with a great remote and compatible with my Harmony One universal remote. | |

Options to improve digital sound @mswale I am confused on how mesh is crap and a repeater is superior. I would think they operate on the same WiFi principle except with mesh you have a consistent SSID & handoff. Then if you have an Ethernet backbone and attach your streamer v... | |
When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? Simaudio recommended I plug my Moon amp directly into the wall.

the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile My gateway product was my alto saxophone. Started playing in grade school through high school including a jazz quartet. Have loved music ever since. | |
Flatscreen between speakers I asked Google Gemini for treatment options. One of the options was using sound absorption to the left and right, behind and below the wall hanging TV. I used 24x48x2 panels (thicker panels would not fit behind TV) extending behind by 3” & be... | |
Wool Felt Footers? I also asked about cork (my Aurender has cork footers). Material High-Freq Damping Bass Isolation Load Handling Lifespan Cork Good Fair ... | |
Wool Felt Footers? I asked both ChatGPT & google Gemini about the effectiveness of wool felt, as I am in the process of isolating my components. Both agree. Attached is the response from chatGBT. Benefits of Wool Felt Isolation: Gentle Damping: Wo... | |
Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? +1 on Moon. The 330A is right in your price range (used), is very space conscious, runs cool & sounds great. | |
Flatscreen between speakers Other than having a flat screen between your fronts, instead of diffusion panels, I am not aware of any other compromises. Each system runs completely independent, with the exception of the fronts & front amp via HT pass through. I have an SQ... | |
use of ChatGPT for HIFI I received similar positive recommendations from ChatGBT on cables and power cords. It even went on to describe sound differences between my two upgraded PC’s & then recommend upgrading my DAC LPS PC. Interesting it also focused a lot on my ... |
