What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Bummer about the new Neko Case cd. I was going to pick that CD up but will first try to listen to the samples on Amazon first.

The Pure Power is a conditioner. 
Help on Power conditioner
If your power is fluctuating a power conditioner will not help, you will need an AC regenerator like PS Audio Powerplant P-3, or P-5, or P-10. I have the P-3 and it did wonders for my system. I think most amp manufacturers do not recommend conditi... 
Synergistic Research MPC plugged in 24/7?
Thanks Michael, got your email as well. Thank you for the replies. Frankly, I am so impressed with your mod that I just want to make sure I take care of it so it lasts! Keep on the lookout for more MPCs sent your way in the not so distant future. ... 
Synergistic Research MPC plugged in 24/7?
Did some more digging on what endurance means. I guess this is the rated lifespan when the capacitor is operating at max temp and ripple current. Supposedly a rule of thumb is for every 10 deg C drop in operating current, lifespan increases by a f... 
Synergistic Research MPC plugged in 24/7?
Thanks Dan! Actually mine has not died but I just got it modded by Michael Spallone and lifespan on the Cap is listed as 7000 hours which is about 292 days if plugged in 24/7. I am perhaps reading the spec sheet wrong and misinterpreting what the ... 
Marantz na7004 or Sonos
I dont have any experience with the Marantz but have been a Sonos user for almost 10 years! The Sonos interface makes it incredibly easy to access my library and thus enjoy my music. Thats the one thing I would really check out with the Marantz. A...

What time do you wear?
Thank you Isochronism and Brianmgrarcom, I really do love my IWC watches. The blue Portuguese is very nice. I was very close to getting that one. I would love to get an F.A. Jones to complete my collection. Man between watches, cars, and audio I h... 
Stillpoint Ultras anyone?
gbmcleod, order the Stillpoints from The Cable Co. I got mine within days. I am using the Stillpoint Minis under my AC regenerator. I will add some to my CDP/DAC next. I also did a comparison between the Minis and Ultras and found no difference to... 
When did you start to love music and why?
Music was a major part of childhood. My father played guitar, my brother and mother played the piano. In fact, later in life my dad built a little recording studio on the garage so he would make music with my mom. My love affair started when my pa... 
Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status
Devilboy, you mentioned that the cap has a life of 7000 hours which only equates to 292 days of the MPC is left plugged in 24/7. Therefore, should the MPC be powered off when not in use? 
Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status
Just wanted to provide an update...I got my MPC back yesterday. First of all, Michael was great to deal with and worked hard to get my MPC back to me quickly. My immediate impressions of the upgrade is definitely positive. The improvements though ... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper Interconnect
Dave_72, interesting information. Does Neotech just supply the raw materials or do they make the entire cable? Does AZ do anything "proprietary" on their end? Does Neotech make the cables to AZ specs? I've been to the AZ shop in San Diego a few ye...
