Audiophiles on Audiogon.
@mazian  I am not sure what a hi fi guy is. I was just making a play on his onscreen name: jackhifiguy. I wasn’t trying to disparage anyone.   
Audiophiles on Audiogon.
I have done extensive research online and it turns out that if your gear is really "high-end" it should already have a device inside that filters the incoming AC. Therefore, do you really need a power conditioner?   One of the main difference b... 
HDbaseT --> no signal on TVs
Hi Laura I am not familiar with the system you are using so I cannot give you specific help but from your post I can see that you have tried extensively to investigate the 43m cable to no avail. How about the port?  Have you tried that cable in a... 
How does room correction treat multiple passive subwoofers?
@blue_collar_audio_guy  Let’s answer this question first: will it treat it as one sub?  Yes.  When done right, you will hear the array as a single source. @erik_squires is correct that you would be better off using powered subs. DBA has been stud... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@femoore12  While these kinds of audiophiles exist, an audiophile is actually someone who likes music and music reproduction purest to the source as possible. You are an audiophile and so am I. Just like any other group, we are not as monolithic ... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
What’s an audiophile @femoore12 An audiophile is someone who believes that there is no solved problem in audio reproduction. Everything is always evolving. High fidelity is a road not a destination An audiophile was once blindfolded and broug... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
But we can't believe people that do?    @russ69  No we cannot  We have to try it for ourselves and make an opinion. It’s not about beliefs.  I am not paying money for something I can’t hear. I don’t want to be a sucker.    
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@emailists  A couple of things to keep in mind: We are in a free country, so people are allowed to feel differently from me. Few people can actually hear subtle differences in music reproduction. When someone said they cannot hear a differenc... 
Just want to wish you all a safe and Happy Easter/Passover

Sound improvement with DAC, or Amp update
@paulyap2k  Congratulations on the new speakers. You have started the right way. Your challenge is going to be that you want to make a “small investment “. With the price of gears nowadays, it’s not going to be easy. Clearly, your best investment ... 
Panasonic Plasma TC-P65ZT60 and TC-P65ZT60 usage hours?
I have the TC-P65VT60 for over ten years and never have any issues with it. I assume it will die one day soon. The picture is outstanding. I don’t think status 4 has the information you are looking for. Here is what mine shows: Status 4   C9999 -... 
Furman PST-8 Noise Reducing Power Strip
@nyev  Not if you have an attic. It’s actually easy. The electrician runs the wire through the attic, drops it down the wall and installs an electrical outlet. That took less than an hour at my house.   
Subwoofer Trouble shooting advice
+1 russ69  It sounds like a setting issue in your AVR. Hard to tell you exactly where to go without knowing which one you are using. One of the subs might still be defective though.   
Furman PST-8 Noise Reducing Power Strip
Any reason you don’t have a dedicated line for your audio gears? The expense (less than $300) would probably be less than a couple of PST-8. The benefits would also be tenfold. Another good investment that would help is a dirty electricity meter s...
