Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S
Inna, I will be obsolete myself in a few years so I really need to get something now. I have no idea how to evaluate the power supply, so I am willing to accept a well reviewed panacea of a noise conditioner.I’ll look up the Walker Audio motor con... 
Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S
Whart, why did you abandon power conditioners? I’m curious. I really don’t have much access to any audiophile products closer than three to five hours away, double that round trip. There’s a chance I could have a local dealer who sells lower end A...

Sgordon, I'll look into the Powercell UEF12. I hadn't heard of that model before.Twoleftears, I'll look up the Isotek Evo Sigmas and Synchros combo as well, and will consider contacting audiotroy if they look interesting and in my price range.Slaw... 
Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S
Stereo 5, I have been leaning towards the Shunyata Denal 6000S from the reviews I’ve read, but really I don’t know enough to make an informed decision yet. The Niagara 5000 has gotten some good reviews too. I am a little concerned about the Niagar...

Thomas, I’d have to reread my other threads to figure which recommendations were yours, there have been so many. I can tell you I do appreciate and look into every suggestion you and others on site have kindly provided, while trying to make good d...

Maritime5, you might not, if you knew the rest of them, or were burning through a good portion of your life savings at a record clip, acquiring this unnecessary, but highly desirable stuff. It’s kind of a benign addiction I suppose. But after this... 
What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?
"The most memorable show I didn’t get to see was one of the only two post-Layla Clapton & Allman shows."Well photon, My girlfriend and I went to a triple header concert at our school SUNY at New Paltz, in 1971. First act was BB King, then Jona... 
What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?
Jethro Tull on his Aqualung tour and James Cotton both at my college in the early seventies. I also remember Frank Zappa playing a scintillating solo on Moving to Montana. The rest of his show was pure garbage. I saw Bob Dylan sing "Masters of War... 
Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
Neal, thanks for the advice. I did recently end up getting the Luxman 507uX Mark II with 210 watt per channel into 4 ohms which I hope should be sufficient to drive them. That adventure was documented on my recent amp thread which ended up morphin... 
BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
Justvintagestuff, how about one jazz, and one rock 'n roll singer.Billie Holiday-Strange Fruit, and Darlene Love, a pure Rock n Roll singer if there ever was one. Check out her "White Christmas" from the Phil Spector Christmas album. Accept no sub... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Ebm4, the amp selection is in the bag. I recently purchased a new Luxmnan 507uXII integrated. What I am trying to figure out now is what speaker cable designs are good and should be considered for demo and purchase and which are not. And what elem... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Rbwnci, thanks for recommending the Paul McGowan videos. I’ve watched two or three already. including the one you provided a link to. I’ll indulge in a few more tonight. They are just as you described, informative, understandable, and easy to list... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Jack. I’ll give Mike a call, probably tomorrow. Thanks for a good tip. I just looked up where Sarasota is in Florida. I’m planning on driving down near Orlando soon to visit family. SunCoast Audio is almost close enough for a side trip for some de... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Thanks for your explanation ieales. Didn’t mean to put you on the spot if I did. One thousand dollars is only my self imposed budgetary limit. If considerably less expensive cable sounds best in my system, that’s all to the good. If only a $2000 c... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Ieales, I'm in no rush. I won't even be demoing any cables I can get a hold of until the Magicos arrive in February. I am trying to get both a more truncated long list and a short list together at his point, until then. Also to research online som...
