| Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms I may be an outlier here but I have tried isolation platforms under my speakers, more than one pair, and can't say that I have ever heard a noticeable improvement in sound. For me, it has always begged the question, if putting your speakers on pl... | |
| Old SS amps @roxy1927 If I was ever looking to purchase a piece of older equipment, I would start the conversation with "so, are you in the always on camp?" Cheers. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog You be showing your age. 🤣 | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Do you like Jazz? Jazz that strays into pop and country? Beautiful female vocals? then brother (and sister), have I got a song for you. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6wYJplRjnE&list=RDR6wYJplRjnE&start_radio=1 | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view It's funny that MC has been gone from this site for a while now, but apparently, still casts a large shadow. 😆 | |
| How old is too old? IMHO, I would not be buying anything that involves moving parts, that is 10 years old. Not unless refurbishing the equipment is part of the plan. | |
| HiFiaholics Anonomous! Cheaper just to go back to heroin. 🤣 | |
| Concentration For me, the question is, am I actually trying to "get the best experience with your stereo". That is not always the case as often, it is on as background music to take my mind off other mundane tasks I'm performing at the time. But I agree with ... | |
| What's ideal size for a listening room? @emergingsoul I don't where anyone gets their information as to what room dimensions work best, here is a rather long article that explains the theory behind one calculator that shows how any combination of L x W x H of a room will affect your ... | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view You lost me at YouTube. | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? So after much discussion, it boils down to the adage "let YOUR ears decide". Funny how many threads arrive at this same truth. Cheers. | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? IMHO, the myth that amps need to be plugged into a wall plug is just that. A myth. Regardless of the current available, your amp only draws what it needs. I run a pair of Hegel H30 mono blocks, rated at 1150 watts each. When in use, they pull... | |
| Don't try to fix these electrical prolbems with a conditioner! @erik_squires another one to add to your list is checking (or have someone with experience help) all the connections on your main panel. I don't know why this happens, but it not uncommon to find screws on breakers, or the neutral buss that need... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup I find it a bit surprising, the concept of buying "all new". When buying higher end equipment, my assumption, and experience, is that it's going to last for decades. Why then, would anyone be concerned with a couple years of use? I'm getting 90... | |
| Outlet is "Open Ground" - Is There Still a Safe Way to Connect to My Audio Gear? This may be a silly question, but have you looked inside the outlet box to determine if there is a two wire + ground cable entering the box. Unless your house is very old, it would be surprising not to have a ground wire. Maybe it's there and no... |
