Hum in Speakers with New Dedicated 20 amp Circuit
 
Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k
@mihorn  "It is impossible to find a great sounding gear you want in merry-go-round in audio since there is none. Only I know it because I am making better sounding audio systems. " Thanks. That's the funniest thing I have ever read on this foru... 
Just wow…
""Wonderful!" - if you say so Howard!" Not sure why anyone makes comments like this. The OP saw something they liked and offered it up to others, with the hope that they might enjoy it as well. Instead of saying, that's not for me and just igno... 
How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers?
@jrosemd  Funny. I was looking on the local Craigslist and actually noticed a pair of Maggies for sale as "room dividers". Cost was $25.00. I contacted the owner and explained exactly what she was selling. Needless to say, she was very apprecia... 
How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers?
@bwang29  Unfortunately, having a dedicated listening space is no longer an option for me. Divorce and the $1,500 sq. ft. cost of real estate in downtown Vancouver have made that untenable.  That being said, the potential for damage to your mor... 
Learned something new today and it isn't good.
@clearthinker  I don't know what this has to with the topic. Emphasising was something record engineers did to manipulate the frequency curve to make up for the deficiencies playback equipment half a century ago. Digital sound quality today is ... 
A warning about hd tracks

Qobuz Coming to Canada!!!
Speaking as a Canadian. I can hardly fricking wait. I don't hate Tidal, but if Qobuz is better then count me in.  
Can monitors sit on a TV console instead of stands?
@labguy  That would depend on the size of the monitors and whether they are supplemented with subwoofers. My room is 12" x 18" x 9" and my ATC SCM19's + subs is more than adequate.  And having them 8' apart and 9' from you is almost ideal and a... 
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
The reason you say that modern country is the "worst music ever" is because you grew up loving that genre and it hurts to see how it has been poisoned by rampant commercialism. "Music" executives have done to country music what they always do. The... 
Best Connection Between MAC and NAD
I think that as long as you are merely connecting the Mac to the NAD, you are only going to get so far when it comes to sound quality. Mac's are great computers, but not high quality music servers. Buying a proper streamer will solve this problem... 
Diapason Adamante dealer in US?
Its right on their website.  
Lumin Streamers
Not sure what Lumin has to do with your question, but why not think outside the box and ask Eversolo about their service centres.  
Learned something new today and it isn't good.
@erik_squires  Thanks. Nice to get a response that is based on actual research and facts, as opposed to a lot of guesses and hypothesizing. Researching information about any topic. Wasn't that what Google was for, before they tried to take over... 
Learned something new today and it isn't good.
Pre-emphasis is the first part of a noise reduction technique in which a signal's weaker, higher frequencies are boosted before they are transmitted or recorded onto a storage medium. Upon playback, a de-emphasis filter is applied to reverse the p...
