| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? >>>If you believe the power cord is filtering RF you’re mistaken. No, I’m not suggesting power cords filter RF. I’m suggesting that well designed power cables and their terminations can prevent EMF from influencing components and other ca... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? +1 benjie's post, comparing the water filter / power cord. It is the last 6 feet that matters most. And not just what gets into the cable in those last 6 feet, but what gets out of it (or doesn't get out) is even more important. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @ slawMost did not record LPs. Maybe less than 200 of the 15,000 garage rock combos who released 45s, went on to release an LP. Only about 50 of them broke through to any kind of regional or national success via an LP release. 13th Floor Elevators... | |

| Room improvement I’ll go along with "semi-properly" tuned. What I don’t like is a domestic room tuned so well that it sounds like a recording studio or theatre. You can’t hear the interaction between the recording and the room, which to me is the fascinating part ... | |
| Taking Power Conditioning to the Max? The problem with AC line conditioners is, dirty power doesn’t just come from the grid. It comes from everywhere, including the grid, the environment, your own domestic electric wiring, appliances and power outlets, and from your own audio equipmen... | |

| Room improvement Personally I think it’s the system’s responsibility to sound good in the room. Not the room’s responsibility to sound good in the system. | |
| Blind fold hearing test No I couldn’t. But...- I could probably identify electrostatic speakers from any other kind.- I’d have a fair chance of separating most valve amps from transistor amps.- I could definitely tell if TC and/or mats were in use in the system or not.- ... | |
| List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid whostolethebatmobile,Whostoletheturntable?Oops - it comes between power cords and speakers. | |
| List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid Vinyl records (by far), power cords, speakers, tweaks, interconnects, power conditioning, phono preamp, amps, preamp. | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement I'll try the TC and it will be either an improvement or snakeoil. Good decision! I had to make the same one a few months ago. I wasn't disappointed. | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement Wow. I can’t believe you don’t believe Geoff believes what he writes. When gillatgh gets his TC contact enhancer, it will be interesting. By the way, I have both Furutech Nano Liquid and Total Contact. I’m on my 7th tube of TC (I use it in radical... |
