| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @prof @ozzy @dabel Thanks for the nudge to move in the brevity direction. As a direct result of your input, I taken the following actions: Replaced the premium power cord on my iMac with the standard OEM. It has decreased the dynamics of my wr... | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) Enough of this bickering! Lets just Make Audio Great Again! | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... Ozzy, I'm working on brevity. It's a work in progress. | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @prof I enjoyed reading your well-founded comments and considerations.

| What is your experience with amp power? Okay. The OP is asking for experience with amp power, so here’s one. About 10 years ago, my "rig" was running an amp with just north of 100wpc. We serviced equipment full time, also providing performance upgrades. After "hot rodding" an amp with ... | |

| The Mood Was Ruined @mahler123 "It was like having great sex and then having the husband knock on the bedroom door with the stock of his shotgun." I enjoy cutting and pasting quotes from the forums for future reference. Sometimes for the wrong reasons. | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? More thoughts: I agree with a poster that mentioned that product development is mostly "trial and error." The "Hey, lets try THIS and see what happens" may be a common occurrence. So, it sounds better. Now what? Then the task of objective assignm... | |
