Power Cord Order of importance
I agree with Inna - that it all depends ... useful eh? The answers are not usually what you might expect either! I have found that servers and streamers and dacs and clocks are best with a "light" touch. So do not just bung one in because it is su... 
Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy
Oops I meant servers ..... I now stream (DCS Vivaldi Upsampler) and serve ..! 
Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy
I have been streaming now for many years and I have gone through MANY streamers. From £300 in the early days up to £17,000 and it is clear to me that the more I pay the better the result. Value for money is subjective so that does not enter the de... 
DVD player playing CD's
I have a Meridian 800. I specifically asked Meridian this same question. Does their top of range dvd player play cds better than their top of range cd player? Answer yes - due to better components 
Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's
I have tried McKintosh with 800d3 and 2. Far too "weak" for me and I use Bryston 7b3. It is a matter of taste though 
ProAc DT8 vs D20R
I have had almost all Proac speakers over the years - seriously! I still have pairs of  2.5 d38 d 3.8 d80 and d100. If you like the Proac "sound" the differences between speakers are there (obviously as otherwise there would be no point)  but impr... 
B&W vs. Sonus Faber
I agree with  kren0006 as you have to be very careful what you are pairing them withI have compared B&W 802d3 and 800d3 (which I ended up buying) with £150k Wilsons and greatly prefer the B&W .. as did my esteemed listening mate. I would ... 
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
It would improve the standard of debate on this forum if people read the questions and replied to them with RELEVANT comment. The OP says he hears a difference and the old silly brigade comes out yet again saying "No you didn't.  Cables don't make...

Warm up time for record playing
Gosh Millercarbon is spot on for a change!I have a spotlight too as well as hair drier for the cartridgeAnd my tech guy is building a bespoke phonowarmer so I can plug into  the phonostage and "tickle" it until all bits are warmed up. Saves cartri... 
Amplifier warm up
atmasphere8,812 posts10-27-2020 3:47pmYou can't take any good system seriously for the first 1/2 hour or so! Indeed - also your phonostage and cartridge need warming up. With vinyl things can be very frustrating. Part of that early dissatisfact... 
Dynamic range - effect on different speaker cables - even very high quality ones
tbakin63 Yes your contributions have dragged it down with your inane comments. Indeed I don't like the answers by a batch of naysayers who do not understand  a question. You probably do not accept that comment either, that is the nature of your... 
Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?
I went from all Meridian (top of range 8000 speakers, 861 processor, 800 dvd) to Bryston/B&W. The Meridian set up was (and is)  unacceptably cumbersome and prone to things going wrong.I had a one to one relationship with the directors before t...
