| Power cables and power conditioners Every time I ask a question it costs me more money. LOL. Seriously, I’m not averse to spending money, but I try to spend it wisely. In that regard, I probably should explain a bit more. I have two systems that sit side by side. For music/2-channe... | |
| Power cables and power conditioners @hilde45 - good advice. I have ##2-4 covered, at least as far as my budget and desires are concerned (my new amp, e.g.). As for the room, I have it addressed it as well as I can; it’s not an ideal listening space in several regards, but the probl... | |

| Power cables and power conditioners Sorry; as is usually the case, I wasn’t clear enough. The power cord to the PP12 is a 10 awg PC, but not particulary ’Hi-Fi’. It’s a heavy duty PC I pilfered from an old battery back-up from my computer system. I’m wondering if I should invest in ... | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates I personally prefer black. I’ve noticed some companies (Parasound comes to mind) charge more for the same component in black. | |
| Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond Diamond tweeters in my Usher Dancer Mini-2s. I really like them. | |
| Looking for a new subwoofer with two inputs I love this forum! Audio switch, of course. I found an XLR switch that has audio sensing, so once everything is connected I don’t even have to get out of the chair. I’ll still consider any subwoofer suggestions, but this seems like the answer... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 “However, you need to specify ONE input and ONE output. So once you specify your digital source you can't specify an analog input at the same time. And once you specify a digital output you can't have an analog output at the same time.” Except,... | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? Not necessarily a ‘holy grail’ song, but for the longest time I’ve wanted to listen to the Buckingham Nicks album again. No streaming service seems to have it. I had it on vinyl in college, but it was stolen along with my other albums and stereo e... | |
| Blue Jean cable problem I don’t have any RCA cables, but I’ve had problems with three different Blue Jeans Cables speaker cables. One of the ‘sonically welded’ banana plugs literally fell off the wire when I opened the package. I’ve had two others where the banana plugs ... | |
| A Manufacturer that pays return shipping “What if you think it's warranty, but an examination by the manufacturer finds you overdrove the speaker motor and it is fried?” Easy. Nikon does this with their cameras. They pay for the shipping, but if they determine that it’s not a warranty i... | |
| Power Cables I haven't seen this recommended yet so I'll weigh in: Ice Age Audio (iceageaudio.com). I just purchased their "FrankenCable" power cords, along with their OFC speaker cables and interconnects. Because I replace all three at the same time, I can... | |
| Looking for recommendations Circling back to let everyone know what I’ve done. First, thanks for the suggestions. After doing a lot of internet research, I hit upon this review: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/ice-age-audio/ I emailed Rick Parker at Ice Age Au... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I have the Eversolo A8 and couldn’t be happier. Sounds great, and very easy to use. I watched the stjarnholm review and he either has serious bias issues, is an idiot, or both. I find the interface to be simple to use - I tap one button, and I’m p... | |
| Have I fallen down the rabbit hole, or achieved clarity . . . I could do that, but for two things. First, I’m assuming the DAC in the A-8 is better than the one in the Marantz. True, or no? Second, from what I can see from reading the manual, I’d lose the ability to bi-amp the Ushers if I connect them and a... |
