| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors I used a Brickwall (Zerosurge) for a short while and found it limited dynamics and soundstage compared to going directly into the wall. The same with a Tripp Lite. The AQ Niagara 1200 worked the best with my older gear until I got my Technics inte... | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" I look at it this way: mediocre equipment separates one from the musical event while great equipment brings it to you. The former makes you concentrate on the equipment while the latter frees you from it. It's all a matter of perspective. All it... | |
| Musical Fidelity M6SCD vs Technics SL-G700M2 The reviews on the Technics SL-G700 M2 as a music streamer are up there with the best in regards to sound quality. It's the user interface that gets poor marks. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion That's the order I put them in as well, but I'm biased from owning the Atalante 3. If I had a bigger space, I'd get the Atalante 5 and if I ever won the lottery, their new Atalante 7. Here's a shot of it: That's a 15" woofer with a -6db @ 23 Hz... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion I know that You Tube is not the last word in fidelity but with a decent computer setup you can discern differences between models in a controlled setting. Here is a video comparing the Atalante 3, the Dynaudio Evoke 20 and the Totem Signature. Giv... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer Srajan at 6moons gave it an award and may buy another. Its main purpose is to scrub DC off the line and in so doing, opens up the sound more. He noticed more clarity without any downsides and he's a fiend for clarity. As for comparisons to the P... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Revival Audio Atalante 3 monitors. Like you, I've been through speakers trying to find one that isn't bright, that sizzle or etch the sound, drawing attention to themselves and these fit the bill, for me. They're well under your cost limits bu... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? @stuartk Here's a link to their Specials section. Sometimes they have nice discounts for cables used in shows, one offs, etc. Hope that helps with the old pocketbook. I got all mine from that page. All the best, Nonoise | |
| How remove odor from interconnect? Maybe that spray product that removes the foul odor when pets soil the carpet? Just a thought. All the best, Nonoise | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? RCA ICs with slim barrels are the way to go. I use Darwin Cables as that's their philosophy. The only downside is you can't handle them like normal ICs with their boat anchor barrels. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers That would be news to me, and many others. I’ve got several Tannoy speakers here with "MADE and designed in the UK" stickers slapped all over their cabinets and boxes. Some really nice quality cabinets, too. It’s known that they started farming o... | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers I'm curious as to when Kevin stopped being a Tannoy dealer. I only ask because it was known as far back as some 20 years that all of Tannoy's high end speaker cabinets were made and finished in China. That was around the time I went to TEAC headqu... | |

| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? After finalizing the sale of some speakers that I had yet to pack up, I bought some Barcelona replica chairs to replace a mircofiber sofa with chaise and after swapping them out, the sound (especially the base) improved so much that I instantly re... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? My mild case of tinnitus can go unnoticed mostly all year round but this and the last year have been bad due to whatever the hell it is that's going around during flu season that's not the flu or Covid. It settles into one's sinuses causing pres... |
