| Power cord length "The two meter definitely sounds better. While they are clearly the same power cord the 2 meter is a bit quieter. Definitely worth the money." "I do find a difference in the sound between different lengths of powercords and the sorter ones I don’... | |
| I Was Stunned I have to admit that when the OP promised to post photos of a "nice rack", it really got my attention. This probably the most adolecent post that you’ll see on this topic. But, to borrow a line from the movie Tequila Sunrise: "You can’t blame a c... | |
| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options @acar83 Very interesting post. I'm a (very) long term advocate for premium power cables, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the issue of larger gauge cables having performance issues over extended time periods. I have not observed, nor have... | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue Greetings on a (mostly) peaseful Sunday morning. I’m going to jump in here as a highly enthusiastic premium power delivery supporter. This includes, but not limited to, beefy cables from the electrical panel, premium (audiophile) power cords, upg... | |
| "Tuning" CD's Tuning CD's is a thing. Many, many hours of experimentation with a variety of solutions gave us very positive results ranging from "notable improvement" to "jaw-dropping". We provided a complementary service to customers and allowed them to b... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? It’s interesting to me when the phenomenon of messaging and/or music reasonates with a broad spectrum of society, race become invisible and we have found yet another common link and connection. When all the stars line up and both of these occur si... | |
| Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great? The KLH Model 20 "Amazing Music Box" was my first experience with hifi sound. A buddy was telling me great his new stereo system sounded, so I decided to drop over after school for a listen. Here was this dinky little chassis with a turntable stuc... | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? @jumia I’m with @ghdprentice on this one: "Only when comparing to other cords. This is not a pursuit with absolutes… maybe the desire, but we live in a world of imperfection." As with many audio pursuits, experimentation is the key to success.... | |
| Show off! @clearthinker "I'm surprised the bass did not destroy the Toyota." I did joke around with people and tell them my car made so much bass, I had stretch marks on the trunk lid. "Of course the Bach piece has far more merit than as an audio demo. ... | |
| If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like? @erik_squires "I think he at some point made a resonant shaking table or something like that, which standing on it could be fun for a short time or an extreme laxative effect if you stood on it too long." Standing on a resonance shaking table w... | |
| If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like? @curiousjim "The only thing I know for sure is it would run on AC current.😁" That's for sure. But, I'll bet Edison is smiling out there somewhere knowing how much AC is converted to DC inside those boxes. | |
| New sound immersion processes The Comfortably Numb Dolby Atmos rendition on BluRay doesn't suck. | |
| Show off! @clearthinker In our car audio days (1980s) we were invited to display our demo vehicle (Mazda 626 Turbo with 2-18"subs) in a shopping mall. After being very polite and a good neighbor for a couple of hours, I just couldn’t help slipping in the ... | |
| Show off! @roxy54 The Blood Sweat & Tears (first album) was my first introduction to "real" high fidelity. It was in the showroom of David Beatty Stereo in Kansas City, MO. Macintosh amp/preamp (MX113/MC2015?) and ESS AMT1s. It was just "clear" beyond... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... My dad had just purchased a stereo with flip-down turntable and foldout speakers for us kids so my brother and I could play music in our bedroom. (Probably had nothing to do with the fact that we were playing OUR music on HIS Admiral console stere... |
