| One dedicated circuit for each mono block? If you’re ecologically conscious, here’s another thought. Build two solar panel arrays in your back yard. Couple them directly to each monobloc. I think that’s as pure as it gets. An alternative would be to construct two of those big windmil... | |
| One dedicated circuit for each mono block? @emergingsoul Hey, that works for me. Especially the free part | |
| One dedicated circuit for each mono block? I would ask your electric utility company to dedicate two separate transformers at the power station to each monobloc, with lines running directly from the transformers at the utility power station into each monobloc. And ask them to coat the pow... | |

| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp - Decware has a 3 year wait? Really? What happens if you need to have it serviced? I sure am glad I didn’t go to them. - OTLs imho are something to consider. The company that I know of is Atmasphere, but I believe there are others. I believe the... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? I have had a Rega CD player for 30 years. The remote died a decade or more ago. Otherwise still going strong and with the little rubber thingy that I put on the CD itself when I use it, I have found no reason to upgrade. caveat: I own about 400 C... | |
| Cartridges In my humble opinion, buy 3 or 4 NM copies of an LP at about $30 each, chances are one of them is a so-called “hot stamper” and you’ve saved yourself hundreds to a thousand or two dollars. If you properly cared for your records over the last half... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? As with all things: yes, within reason. In my humble opinion, only two criteria to watch for: - diameter of the copper wire: wider = less resistance - length of cable: shorter = less resistance. That’s it. You don’t have to spend a lotta money f... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? The best sounding gear are that which you can afford. I’ll leave discussion of the rest to the masochists. 😬😝 | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @mrdecibel We might be saying the same thing. In a way, all that I'm saying is that my listening habits have evolved over 54 years, I'm an old fart now and I'm set in my ways. Full stop. | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @roxy54 Which is why, 97 times out of 100, I prefer to sit at home (saving me travel time), in a room that is in part specifically designed for listening, in front of an audio system that evolved over the 54 years I have spent fiddling with it,... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @mrdecibel Being at a live show also has compromises: the person sitting in front of you, the one sitting to one side of you, the one sitting in back of you, the quality of the seating, how far back, to one side, or close you are sitting, the dep... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? The one that sounds best to you is the best. That said, I use a Koetsu Onyx. I have a Koetsu Rosewood Signature as a backup. I use a Grado for 78s. |
