| Power conditioner types Hey @minorl - is there any way to figure out which ones recondition vs. condition? Isn't that done through a transformer versus a capacitor?@nonoise - none of this stuff is a matter of need.....I never knew I "needed" a phono stage - my integrated... | |
| Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms Sounds like for most people, gimbal is the way to go, which is probably why the most practical company, Rega, uses that design exclusively for the best value in tonearms.I never understood the appeal of the hard to handle, wobbly unipivot, but for... | |
| Power conditioner types @mijostyn - IMHO I must disagree. They definitely filter dirty current from the power company to varying degrees in addition to providing some protection.Now....can you hear it? What is that improvement in SQ worth to you? I think it is more impor... | |
| Power conditioner types @bigtwin - than one requires a 20 amp receptacle and sounds like it gets as close as you can to a battery or generator using a special transformer, versus capacitors, which I guess is what the more expensive ones do.@mbennes - they protect agains... | |
| Power conditioner types @bruce19 - painting won't cut it = I asked Furman about switching faceplate colors and haven't heard back...I doubt they would do it.So if I understand this correctly, the only real way to do what I asked is to have some kind of rechargeable batte... | |
| Power conditioner types @erik_squires - sounds like you are a fan of my Furman.....good to know. Now if I can only get a silver face plate for it......any ideas? | |
| Power conditioner types @millercarbon - I have one - a Furman elite 15i, which is a little above entry level and was thinking about upgrading to one that did more than filter. When I originally got it, it was for functionality of having a large number of outlets and prot... | |
| Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms @mijostyn - that's what I thought, but why have I seen them on some pretty expensive ($10K+) VPI tables?@mr_m - I've heard good things about WTL arms - I guess quasi unipivot is the key - whatever that means. | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? @speakermaster - it’s not just about the sound quality. I have Gaucho on a Japanese pressing and it is one of my top sounding records, easily. That doesn’t mean it’s one of the best compared to Aja, Royal Scam, Pretzel Logic....IMO Aja is one of t... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? @idigmusic64 - how do you know 2 Against Nature is up next? Are any others being planned or is it wishful thinking?I thought there were rights issues preventing some reissues as they changed labels I think 3 or more times. There certainly would be... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? @tomic601 - you should have returned it. It sounds great and since it is on 2 records, you don’t go too far into the middle on the 3 sides. That shows caring about quality instead of jamming it onto 2 sides. Whoever heard of leaving a side blank (... | |

| Stratospheric audio gear prices @unreceiveddogma - glad you agree about the system plateau for excellent sound, but who are we to say what is an insane amount of money to spend on audio? Some would consider $10-15K out of pocket on $20-25K worth of retail priced audio insane (in... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? Hey pgaulke60 - ALL SD should is good (mostly great) and should be appreciated. As far as not being a band, I guess you have never seen them in concert this century. They've had minimal personnel changes in like 20 years and they tour pretty much ... |
