Power conditioner help
I agree with dentdog, balanced power at least for the front end is the way to go. 
Power conditioner help
I did a lot of research into this subject and can't help but feel the the Furman P2400 IT is the way to go. The price point is very competitive. http://www.furmansound.com/product.php?div=01&id=P-2400IT   
Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?
I have to admit that I was unmoved as well  by my MFSL copy. I used to listen to this LP at a friends house when I was in high school. We were listening to vinyl but that sounded way better on his mediocre system than my MFSL CD copy today. Hate t... 
Tinnitus worries...
Prior to the Stones, I saw KISS at one of the smallest venues they ever played to promote their first album. Couldn't beat "Strutter" back then. This was also a loud show (as you can well imagine) hell, I was having fun and never thought about the... 
Tinnitus worries...
vindanpar,So you were never in your twenties and just had to go see the Stones during their "Some Girls" tour? My buddies and I sat in the nose bleed seats at the Pontiac Silverdome about the farthest from the stage as you could get. This was beyo... 
Long lost songs
I think I owned the LP when I was younger and had a Bang & Olufsen turntable which eventually was moved on and I got away from audio for several years. Interestingly, certain lyrics stick with me and I recall "lines on my face" would pop into ... 
Exotic vocal
Ms. Haza did not appear on the Physical Graffiti album. She did a cover of the song. The only woman to have ever shared a mic with Robert Plant on an album was Sandy Denny on the song "Battle of Evermore" and what a voice she had! 
Exotic vocal
Of all Middle Eastern singers I would say she is the most tolerable but there is something about the structure of the music that doesn't work for me.  
Exotic vocal
Aauugh! I have never been able to tolerate Middle Eastern music. It just doesn't work for me. However, I can add to the list of exotic singers. Please check out Zhu Zhe-qin or as some would know her Dadawa from her album Yellow Children. This was ... 
my speakers hum
Let me get this straight, you're complaining about a hummer? 
power conditioning question gentlemen
The Reference Series units in this video offer balanced power. Note the difference in the size of the transformer as compared to the Elite series units, that's due to balanced power. The P-2400 weighs 90lbs. The consumer level IT Reference 20i off... 
power conditioning question gentlemen
Oleschool,I was referring to the Furman, Equi=Tech, BPT type units. Think about the Equi=Core, you need one unit for each component. How does the cost then compare to a shelf mounted unit that offers several duplex outlets in one unit? I have no o... 
power conditioning question gentlemen
Oleschool,When considering a piece of equipment, if you're going for balanced power, then consider the weight of the product. It's all about the transformer. That's all I'll say on this subject because as someone mentioned, there is a lot to learn... 
power conditioning question gentlemen
Oleschool,If you have a dedicated line to your audio system then you may not get "noise" on the line given your setup. If however you have other appliances etc. on the same line, then even though you generate your own power there will be noise on ...
