Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode
I do not understand the rationale for leveling nor the logo directionality. Speakers are typically heavier in the front so compressive forces are going to be different, which I would think affects function. Also, some speakers need to be canted fo... 
Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode
I realized I was going to have to do some significant modification on the Nobsounds, including drilling out M6 size holes so I could screw them on to the DBA subwoofer cabinets. I was also going to heat shrink them for stability. I did attach one ... 
Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables.
What I did with the TE package and my HW19.  Base-mounted initially and just changed to a SAMA.  The VPI alternatives are not competitive in the least.http://vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13319https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?convers... 
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
Double Advents 
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
Ironic. A Dayton SA1000 powering a  Romeyn DEBRA is what’s plugged into the other outlet.  
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
On a dedicated circuit with an EP-2050. Please explain your rationale.  
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
I reached out to Audioquest who makes my power conditioner and this was their reply:“Just having the Niagara 1200 connected to the wall outlet will help to improve any component plugged into the second outlet in the duplex.”Cool…  
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
I fully understand the benefits of and the principles behind the EP-2050 and a modular unit (e.g., Shunyata Venom Defender).  My question is whether a power conditioner has the same impact on the other outlet of a duplex, i.e., that it also functi... 
Clean AC power
Life-saving tip: If you see someone get hit by lightning or is otherwise electrocuted the lethality is due to the heart going into ventricular fibrillation. Therefore, you should check for a pulse and if absent, do a precordial thump, which is a f... 
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
My understanding is that the EP -2050 (https://store.acousticfrontiers.com/products/environmental-potentials-ep-2050) and perhaps the modular devices operate by serving as the preferred conduit for the noise in the signal. The EP-2050 functions in... 
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
If a modular device (e.g., Venom Defender) and a whole house device (e.g., EP-2050) can "clean" the adjacent circuits, how is a power conditioner different?

What is your favorite album cover?
Captain Beyond's debut album with the 3D appliqué. 
Make way for the future....
I love my Devialet Expert 400 not just for the sound but also for its numerous features. Flexible MC/MM phono section, built-in Roon compatible streamer, bass management with four different slopes for both hi-pass and lo-pass along with time delay... 
Do you care about car audio?
Even the finest car stereo does not compete with a good home system. Playing loudly enough to appreciate a high end car stereo is at the least distracting if not isolating.  Both are dangerous.Drove over 6000 miles in 16 days and did not listen to...
