| Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson? Don’t know about the other two, but I’d rule out the Hegel as they manufacture in China, the land of little or no quality control. Check out Luxmann integrateds in your price range, made in Japan with excellent quality control. I’m unfamiliar with... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? Erik, I’m trying to figure out if it would be worthwhile to upgrade power cords on some of my components. Doesn’t really make any sense to me to do so, but that doesn’t mean it might not make for some improvement for reasons I’m unaware of. I thou... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Isoacoustic Oreas, recommended to me here by another site member, work very well. Unexpectedly, they perform exactly as reviewers say they will. I never would have guessed that would be the case. There's a number of reviews online, and here’s a li... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? I’ve been wondering a lot recently about honesty in Internet conducted business transactions. I live in an area in SW Virginia where few people wear face masks. At age 68, knowing I must avoid those people to avoid Covid-19, I’ve limited most of m... | |
| New Unreleased Art Blakey Thanks for the heads up on the new Art Blakey release Mitch. I’ll be sure to get it. I'm sure it will be an enjoyable listen as the both the Jazz Messengers and Lee Morgan are always a treat. It's great to have something new from the vaults by eit... | |
| The Best Isolation/ Vibration Footers per component - what's your experience? Since you didn’t mention your budget I’ll second mrmb’s statement the Isoacoustic line offers a lot for the money. They are not inexpensive by any means, but recognizably improve your systems performance in exactly the ways they advertise and revi... | |

| Feeling Tweaky Octet11, I've been wondering if better power cords can actually make any difference. Not to say that they can't, but the idea of it is so conter-intuivitive to me I've hesitated to commit the resources to get any to replace what I have. The Shunya... | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? Amg56, your wife was onto you. Due to a birth injury my late wife could only hear out of her right ear. Whenever she was mad, she would sit on the couch with her non-hearing left ear towards me. It was pretty obvious what was happening, even thoug... | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? This is really a timely post for me and thank you for it. I noticed this past Saturday I was hearing some increasingly loud chirping sounds. I had at first attributed this to the fact it was Springtime, and living in the country it’s a natural sou... | |
| Feeling Tweaky Yes I do. Take it easy Mickey. Just having a little fun with you as I'm sure you guessed.Mike | |
| Feeling Tweaky Are you implying you weren't one of them or admitting to it? | |
| Feeling Tweaky Terry9, I know next to nothing about caps and mods but that sounds like an interesting subject to learn about. I once stumbled across a web site that talked a lot about DIY stereo and mods. I saved that site somewhere and you’ve reminded me to go ... | |
| Feeling Tweaky Try to play nice boys, although this last bit was pretty funny. | |
| Feeling Tweaky Audioguy, that book thing was some sort of joke. I think. I’m sure you’re right this hobby can earn you a divorce. Honestly if I wasn’t a widower in here, I’d never have this fancy system, much any tweaks at all. The cost of the IsoAcoustic footer... |
