| power grid issues? @erik_squires I use the Emotiva CMX-2. It's pretty effective in reducing my transformer hum w/o degrading the sonics. In fact I think it may help reduce some high frequency edge but it's very subtle. | |
| What's playing in your head today? clearly something isn't grounded in my head. | |
| Blow dryer causes audible buzz from power amps in two audio systems... Although a potentially pricey option, divorce may fix this "issue" as well ;-) | |
| Colorado-Based Manufacturers PranaFidelity is in Denver. | |

| phono preamp for Primaluna Dont want to spend a lot of $.This means what?...less than $1,000? Less that $500? So many choices it's best to know the budget better. | |
| Speaker recommendations for MC275 should also pair well with Devore O/93 or O/96 | |
| Terrible Booms I agree with the speakers being too much for the room size but you may want to consider trying these Svelte shelves for speakers by Symposium if you want to tame the boominess through dampening and isolation.https://www.thecableco.com/svelte-plus-... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Thanks for the links on the Wes topic. I also don't own the "In Paris: The Definitive ORTF Recording" from 1965 which would be really nice to have. Contemplating that at the moment too.Yes, vinyl is definitely an area where you get wha... |
