Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? @tomcy6 You may not have noticed, but digital streaming is now making up about 85% of record company revenues. That may have something to do with the decline of cd sales. CD sales in the US market actually had an uptick in 22 and 23 compared to... | |
Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? I have found some older first-pressing vinyl albums that are dead quiet in my collection. Especially after a good cleaning. Taking care of them for decades helps and the fact that I was doing a lot of digital listening compared to vinyl the last ... | |
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @garebear No jokes are allowed on Audiogon as we all know. Only serious discussions are allowed. And as a few others have pointed out, burning in power and speaker cables have audible improvements so it stands to reason that your older home's copp... | |
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @vitussl101 Since it is my 52 birthday this weekend, I may opt for a decent bottle of bourbon for some old fashioneds but a 10yo Scotch can always tempt me for late-night listening sessions to soothe my soul. | |
Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc. I use Spotify Premium for quite a bit of my streaming. Even though it’s lossy and here are the reasons why. Ease of use, I can have my entire family on 1 account with different profiles so everyone can listen to what they want for $16/month across... | |

Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @hilde45 half-n-half is definitely the way to go. I've noticed it makes the bass sound a bit heftier even when compared to whole milk. @ellajeanelle I might suggest psilocybin because it has a more natural sound and is a tad more mellow. LSD ... | |
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @tablejockey I’m surprised that more audiophiles do not talk about this especially considering that we talk about burn-in rates for the cables, wires, speakers and components themselves. I would imagine a 1960s home with all copper wiring and main... | |
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @ellajeanelle I'm beginning to think you are trying to pull my leg. I don't think purple paint will help the situation at all. | |
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @ellajeanelle If I'm concerned about polarity issues, should I flip the speaker before facing them due North? Do hi-fi enthusiasts in Alaska have noise issues when the Northern Lights are at their most active? I will run fingernail polish tests ... | |
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @carlsbad2 Crystals, if the chakras have not been properly aligned, can cause harmonic distortion. I have found that Audioquest silver thread spun Chrystals(TM) have a THD of near zero across the frequency domain. Cardas Cable Oil works great to ... | |

Clean power and it's affect on sound quality @ellajeanelle My post is written in a clear manner. Let me "shed" some light on it. Remote controls have everything to do with sound quality as they control the power and volume and in some cases inputs of my components. Sure I can use the power b... | |
My First Stereo. What Was Yours? My first "real" stereo system was this Montgomery Ward All-in-One received as a Christmas present around when I turned 8. I had that puppy until I graduated high school. Spent many a late night making mix tapes from the radio and driving my dad cr... |
