| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @jacobsdad2000 Not sure why these discussions elicit such vitriol from the non believers. If it works for you, great! Enjoy! If it doesn't, Great! Think of the money you saved! But why these discussions devolve into cheap shots is just bizarre. | |
| Source For Styrofoam Packing Inserts @rfnoise That sucks! I hate thieves. PSB will sell you the boxes for around $76 a pair delivered to your door. I imagine other manufacturers will do the same too. I was really hoping for the OEM molds because they would solidly hold the speakers a... | |
| Source For Styrofoam Packing Inserts Thank you everyone for your suggestions. @facten I forgot all about Uline. @ghdprentice I know exactly what expanding bags you are talking about too. @tcotruvo Oddly enough, PSB could only provide the new boxes. They did not have any foam inser... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Grateful Dead; Cornell '77. One of the best LP box sets I own! | |

| Power cord choice? @vinylshadowI just looked at the website. That is beautiful equipment. Thanks for turning me on to PI. Currently I'm still using a Niagara 1200 which was definitely needed in the condo setup. I went with the AudioQuest NRG-Z3 for the wall-to-devic... | |
| Power cord choice? I haven't noticed any difference in my system. I did go with a power conditioner but the pcs did not appear to add or remove anything after that. I continued to replace the stock pcs with fancy ones but just to pimp the system a bit. | |
| Shipping floor standing speakers When mine came in, they arrived on their side in their boxes without incidence. Another brand I bought arrived upright, on a pallet. The manufacturer insisted on that method due to the fragile crossovers yet one still had to go back for damage. I'... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? Oingo Boingo; Good For Your Soul | |
| Basement finishing question Waterproofing should go on the outside and should start a few inches above the grade and extend to the footing (dimple board would be my choice). A footing drain would run the perimeter to carry the water away to daylight. This is the most expensi... | |
