Why Don't More People Love Audio?
I think this thread has gotten around to the real point that hearing realistic reproduction of music and the thrill of classic performances entails more than bookshelf speakers and a receiver sitting in one corner of your living room.I started thi... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
All I know is that in the last five years, I have achieved more realism than I ever thought possible. But you are right as I'm about to try a new rack and will soon get a music server capable of play quad DSD.

I have two HFC CT-1 power cords. When they had broken in a while, I heard the top end extension that is so characteristic of HFC. This characteristic sets them apart from other power cords in my experience and makes a comparison very difficult. In...

Geoffkait, I feel that way out in far western north New Mexico. It is fortunate as there is no electricity anywhere here.

Ddraudt, and you can hear a CT-1 next weekend. 
LSA the gem of a good system
Simao, I have had a LSA Statement Plus for many years now. I really just keep it as a backup for the B.M.C. M2s and the Koda K-10 which are better, but the Statement is very close. I'm thinking seriously about selling it and the LSA1 Statement spe... 
Power Conditioner for your amplifier?
I have two B.M.C. M2s plugged into the High Fidelity Cables Waveguide power center using the HFC URR pcs to them and to the Waveguide. I have never heard anything that can compare with this.

Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight
Dgarretson, what one has with the Stillpoint technology is ceramic balls sitting on three same size ceramic balls that are spread just far enough apart to not allow the one on top falling through. This makes the vector of vertical vibrations almos... 
Tidal vs. Spotify
Err, I have no experience with streaming, but presently I have double DSD with up sampling and 2.8 mHz for SACDs. I have little interest in Tidal but have heard it is far superior to Spotify. I might like it for a home intercom system except that ...

Radioheadokplayer, had I know you had a Lenco, I would have known that as that is what I have also.

Jmcgrogan2, my first CT-1 and CT-1Es were from the Cable Company and I was told the CT-1 was well broken in and the CT-1E not. Perhaps this is the explanation. But when the CT-1Es, a full loom, were broken in for nearly a month only then did they ... 
Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight
Radioheadokplayer, I don't think there is a sonic difference, but I would check with Stillpoints and ask.

Sammons, I have what I call the Waveguide power center, but maybe Rick has changed the name. I had no other HFC pcs in my system when I got one URR pc. In Rick's presence, I put it on the Waveguide. It was impressive. We went out for lunch and ret...
