| Plinius A-150 I don’t see how a Plinius can be better than ARC Reference SE components you already own. | |
| Is it fine to connect a power strip with A/V to one input of the power conditioner? You can use a power strip connected to your Shunyata PC. I am doing just that for the powered woofers in my Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers. I have a Hydra 4 with one speaker plugged directly into it. I am using a power strip plugged into the... | |
| For those who miss Geoff @jerrybj , actually, I rather liked George. Although he was too opinionated and loved to argue, I learned a lot of technical aspects of audio from him. As far as Geoff, I always wished I could have smacked him😂 | |
| Marantz SA-10 vs Marantz SACD-10 I have an Esoteric UX3 which is the same as an X3 but the UX3 also has DVD Audio playback. A good audio friend brought his Marantz SA10 over to compare. Both players were connected to the Aux inputs on my Mac C2500 tube preamp. We used the exact s... | |
| Accuphase e260 Accuphase electronics are built like tanks. Very high quality. | |
| Is it fine to connect a power strip with A/V to one input of the power conditioner? Yes, there will be no interference from the other components. I use 3 Shunyata Hydras in my main system. One Hydra has a home made power cord which goes to my TV where I use a Blu Ray player. The rest of my TV setup goes to a Audioquest Niagara ... | |

| Favorite scream in rock? @thecarpathian, you are correct sir. I must have had an old age brain fart! | |
| For those who miss Geoff Regarding “For those who miss Geoff”, sorry I don’t. I quit Audio Asylum because of him. | |
| Favorite scream in rock? The Beatles, “A Day In the Life”, when I forgot which Beatle screamed ‘I got blisters on my fingers.” | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Any song that Steven Tylor from Aerosmith screams in. Also, we can’t forget Rob Tyner from the MC5 when he screamed “Kick out the jams motherf*****.” | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? The last concert I went to was back in 2019. My son took me to the 50 years of Jethro Tull concert. I believe we were at Mohegan Sun Casino in Conn. I got my son into Tull back in the 90’s, I had been to well over 30 Tull concerts before this ... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I use a SVS PB2000 in my office system with JBL L100 Classic speakers. I have a seamless sound and a single sub gives me excellent bass in a very large room. Their tuning app is excellent and works via Bluetooth to your phone. Once I set it up in ... | |
| GROUNDING - assistance on how NOT to shock yourself I use an Air Care whole house humidifier during the winter months due to my wife’s health concerns. 3 years ago, it cost $179.95 from Home Depot but may be more now. The humidifier is in the kitchen and the stereo is 2 rooms away. I get absolut... |
