| Scams abound A craigslist scammer tried to buy my power conditioner. They sent me a cashiers check for the unit and shipping. I called the bank and the company that was buying it. All fake and I sent all my correspondence to the company. | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 I think the best suggestion is to take your speakers (if you have them) to a dealer and try the integrated amps they have or even better borrow one for a listen in you home. I understand the the latest versions of B&W have improved the upper ... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Speaker placement is tricky. Of course having nothing between the speakers would be preferred but long cable runs or equipment placement may prevent that from happening. I tried multiple placement configurations based on several "mathematical" m... | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? @ papyneau I guess you will need to decide if you are going with an integrated or not. My personal opinion is the preamp is more important than the amp since it’s closest to the source. I also believe in system matching with separates i.e. using t... | |
| Verastarr Maybe we just need a little grace for everyone. | |
| A Warning for Owners of Furman IT Refernence 20i I had a reference 15 for years and never had a problem with it. It was left on all the time. | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house @rsf507 I would be interested if you compared it to other offerings in the Esoteric or Luxman line in CD or SACD mode. I have heard good things about Playback designs but they are more of a niche manufacture. | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house This one caught my eye as I am looking for a new CD/SACD player option. Please report back on using this as CD/SACD player only. Thanks. | |
| new cd player Perhaps the Luxman D-03X. I have not heard it, but it seems to be well reviewed from various sources. | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge I wouldn’t be in a rush. Hopefully you can listen to various speakers and you need to determine what is really important to you. Are you a high resolution or relaxed kind of guy. Do you want an all around speaker or one that has specific strong po... | |
| Dedicated Circuits - Subpanel importance? There has been a lot of audio chatter about grounding. Michael Fremer did an extensive electrical upgrade and has a YouTube video that may be helpful. I have an audio friend that also did a sub panel addition as well as install a new ground syst... | |
| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums I think part of the discussion that needs to addressed is what are the speakers resting on. If they are on a suspended wooden floor vs. concrete the benefit may not be as great. Mine are on a suspended second story wooden floor so to me they are... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I started out with Mac solid state gear in the late 70's (2205 amp and C28 pre). It was fine for it's time and there wasn't as many choices as today. Used if for 20 years and sold it for what I paid for it. I haven't listened to any of the curr... | |
| Power Cable Suggestions Needed You might look at the Zavfino cables. I find that they have a good grip on the bass. | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping It’s interesting that I have only had problems with SR fuses and not any other standard fuse. They were all slow blow and even rated at two levels above the standard. My preamp manufacture cautioned about using a higher rated fuse and I didn’t wan... |
