Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners
Hi @brandonhifi,  I agree with your suggestions.  I've gone through some upgrades on my IC last year, and I'm fairly happy with where I am at now with IC.   I also just upgraded my speaker cable to Shunyata Venom-X as mentioned in my post.  Actual... 
Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners
Thanks for all the comments so far. I don’t dislike my Furman Elite, it seems to just do its job and get out of the way. I am just very curious if higher end conditioners combined with higher end power cords will make an audible improvement to my ...

Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future?
I live in an apartment, and don't have much space to keep the original boxes.  I sold my last pair of speakers and subwoofer on eBay, but for local pickup only.   I don't think it's worth it for me to rent storage space just to store the boxes.

Hi, I’ve been following this thread for a while, and finally got a pair of Majestic MKII OCC tonearm cable (RCA to RCA) last week from Zavfino. It replaces my Zu Mission that I’ve had for a couple of years. So far, I’m really loving it. It beats t... 
LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
The loudest concert for me was Cheap Trick in the early 80's while I was in college.  I was sitting at the seventh row from stage in a relatively small theater.  My ears were ringing for almost a week afterward. My tinnitus started almost 20 year...

Best turntable under $4000
I have the Mofi Ultradeck and have been very happy with it.  I pair it with Hana ML cartridge and Herron phono preamp.   It doesn't sound dull as commented by some member here.  It might look dull, but I don't find it sounding dull.  It is dead qu... 
Ultimate stereo nightmare
Hey @rvpiano,  congratulations on getting your problem resolved.  If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for her service.  It's ok if you rather not share that . Also, I'm glad to come across your post.   At least I feel I'm not the on... 
Help and Advice Needed: Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp RMA Disaster
I’m not trying to throw gasoline on the fire, and I have very limited knowledge on hardware, but Cary’s comments on "It passed QC before they shipped it" is a big BS. As I mentioned in one of my posts here, I had an issue that was very easily cau...
