Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ
@jafox  Let's just agree to disagree and part friends.  I can only speak to my personal experiences.  In my system, the short cables that carry alternating current to my amps, don't have a tonal quality.  That seems to be the same result many othe...

@jafox   Now I thinking it was a waste of money when I had the dedicated cable run from the street to my system.  
Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ
@jafox  First, Puritan is a well respected company that gets excellent reviews, many that I read right here on Audiogon.  Second is the issue of the stock cables.  Yes I have used them, but got sucked into the idea that better power cables from th... 
Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ
I have always believed in buying quality parts for my system,.  I currently have Puritan Ultimate PCs throughout.   In Canadian dollars, a 1 meter cable is $1000 and $1200 for 1.5 meter.  I needed two additional cables and ordered some 12 AWG cabl...

Drove my motorcycle on the freeways around San Diego. Scariest time of my life.  going 70 MPH and being passed like I was standing still.  People be in some kind of a hurry down there.

@asvjerry What makes you think I don’t already?  🤣   I just had another look and found myself thinking "Danger Will Robinson"  
Will be selling two 45 rpm Blue Note Jazz collections. Need advice..
@tmw57   My suggestion would be to post them for sale as a package on Audio Mart.  It's free and will get you good exposure.  Prepare to take a substantial loss.  It has been my experience that the market is shallow and everyone is looking to pay ...

At under $1000, I'd buy that just to have as a piece of furniture.  🤣  
How to join the Thiel Owner's group?

Has anyone sold over $35k worth of equipment over the net? How do you protect yourself?
@dman777  I have sold several high end items over the internet.  My rules are as follows: 1. Open communication with buyer and move to phone and video chat, where they can see me and the equipment.  2. Have the buyer check me out on Audio Mart. ... 
SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp
I've compared my Hegel H30 to three different tube amps (I've owned) from PL Evo 400 to BAT Rex 3 mono blocks.  Still listening to the H30.  For me, that says it all.  Cheers.  
Vintage 1940's Vacuum Tube Primer
@mysearcher257    Thanks for reinforcing how little I understand about electronics.  I watched the entire video and still have no idea how tubes make music.  But I do know that I like bacon.  I guess that will have to suffice for now.   Cheers.    
just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof!
Tried locking the door?  🤣  
And now batting...Bose 10.2 Series II
I bought a pair of Bose 601 "direct/reflecting" speakers in 1978.  Had them in my system for 15 years.  Moved to a set of Martin Logan electrostatics and kept them in play for 25 years.  My current SoundLab Majestic 745s will likely outlive me, so...
