Power Supplies & Performance
@parabolic... Seems the consensus is that a power filter/conditioner helps reduce noise, therefore improves sound. They do - assuming that you have noise to begin with.Some might argue that there is always noise, but it would seem that noise in m...

@gdhal - thanks for the update - I'm going to look into the CMX-2 - looks very interesting.Thanks 
Power Supplies & Performance
@gdhal - that's interesting - was that a recent merge/takeover?Do you know if their product lines are the same?When I looked around 2-3 years ago, Furman appeared to have slightly more "professional" products.Cheers 
Power Supplies & Performance
@Parabolic - I had the Panamax 4300 in my system for a while.Initially, it made some improvement to the sound and like others have posted, I found that plugging high power components, like the amp and in your case the sub, directly into the wall p... 
RMS Power?
@kijanki - all is OK! - I sort of asked for it :-) 
RMS Power?
@kijanki - Wliliewonka - It is "watt" and not "Watt" (units start with small letter - but I’m sure you don’t care). You can go back to sleep now. Peace - I really have no quarrel with you.Might I suggest that since you have so eloquently demons...

B&W 805D3 - Amp recommendation (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel or Schiit?)
I’ll throw another amp into the mix - NAIM 5iI have the 5i (mk II) (50w) which has a passive front end - the earlier mk1 had an active pre-amp and was not as good. The new 5i also has a passive front end and is a little more powerful (60w) - not t... 
Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone
I'm not saying my speaker is better, just a different approach than most - that I am extremely happy with -  it uses a Morel 2 1/8" soft dome midrange.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/gershman-acoustics-sonogram-loudspeaker/I've heard ther... 
Tannoy eyris 3 or focal cobalt 816s.. whats good ?
As much as I am a huge Tannoy fan, the one thing that concerns me is the amount of toe-in they required. The center line of the speaker should cross just in front of the listening position.In a small room that could limit their effectiveness. Larg... 
Help me build speaker cables please!
@toddverrone... Oh man, these things are incredible. It’s not that I’m hearing things I haven’t before.Well - The improved clarity is due to the precise phase alignment of the signals of each sound as it occurs, between L and R channels, which in ...
