| Pads or Spikes? +1 Townshend — I’ve rarely if ever read such unanimous and enthusiastic praise for any tweak-type product. I’ve also read of people replacing Gaia products with Townshend but never vice versa, FWIW. | |
| RIP. Johnny Barbata Actually Skip Spence was Airplane’s original drummer who was replaced by Dryden. Sadly all JA drummers are now gone. Spence and Dryden both passed at age 67 so at least Barbata had a bit of a longer run. RIP. | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Putting your child/grandkids above new headphone cables?!? You’re a better man than I. 😝😉 | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I estimated your duties and taxes as approximately $262 Canadian, assuming a $1400 C purchase price. That’s a 19% hit. Ouch!!! | |
| Help me understand the current amp market I really do enjoy how my current set up sounds…I primarily listen to Tidal and to pop, electronic and some rap (no jazz or classical). Since this is my first "real" hi-fi set up, I don't have a clear picture as to which direction I want to go. ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers Listening through the break-in process can be maddening as you’re finding out. Things can get better, then get worse, and then better (hopefully) again. I wouldn’t start to seriously assess anything until you’ve got at least 200 hours on them, s... | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? @llg98ljk They’re offered with a 30-day trial period so very little risk to just try them. Ric has been around for decades and isn’t in the business of selling snake oil products so wouldn’t surprise me at all if there’s something significant to ... | |
| Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II Given what you’re looking for I’d put Allnic high on your list of models to explore. Best of luck in finding what you’re looking for. Or, better yet, have your friend build you another one of his phono preamps! | |
| Help me understand the current amp market What specific improvements are you looking for? | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Just curious if you’ve received the cable yet? | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I’d get an Innuos Pulse Mini and a Teddy Pardo LPS and would be in your price range for both. Great sound quality and Innuos is an established company with excellent customer service and comes with their outstanding Sense app. Best of luck. | |
| Tube Amp recommendation for Thiel CS1.6 under $2k I had those speakers in my system and would not recommend tubes to drive them and especially not in a room the size of yours (Thiels in general are not tube-friendly speakers). I drove them with both a robust 100Wpc (roughly doubles into 4 Ohms) ... | |

| SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ? Dumb question — how do you get links to show up with pictures and not just a line of text as with waytoomuchstuff? | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps Has using a power conditioner improved your sound ? i.e. dirty power artifacts etc. Are you using audiophile AC cables to your components? I am in a 110 apartment building built-in 2010. We have fiber optical Internet, but I don’t stream just ye... |
