| Power conditioners and power regeneration Been at this hobby for a long time trying all kinds of "improvements". Other than protection from power surges, never thought much about power conditioning. After all, each piece of gear powered by AC includes filtering to clean up the AC. Wh... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? There is no point in adding "lowball offers will be ignored" to a listing other than being a bit snooty. Just ignore any offer the seller considers unacceptable. As far as following an unwritten code, lowball offers are no different than unreali... | |

| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? Remember all, that was the original question.

| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? You judged more than one billion people by anecdotes and ridiculous affirmation.. NO, NO, NO @mahgister. You jumped to that grossly exaggerated assumption and then go completely off the rails adding "anecdotes" and "ridiculous affirmation". Did... | |

History from hundreds of years ago is a broader topic involving context to understand how and why. I put more value in first hand experience of the last 20 years. There is a common theme related... | |

| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude Full support of commercial anything beyond 10 years is rare. So you have the ability to fully support, today, a product that is 20 years old. Based on failure rate predictions and field failure rate data there is an appropriate... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @lonemountain Appreciate your comments about personal corporate experience. My personal experience is based on working with Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies. Regardless of what any of those companies professed, the engineering department ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude Interesting that you start with accusation of a "snipe account" to frame your support of active speaker superiority. Regarding requisite personal knowledge, not a single post in this thread provides verifiable technical bona fid... | |
