| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi @zlone @jrareform @moto_man So I had my first intimate session last Friday and another on Saturday. Differences with the V16 from the Furman were subtle. I did notice some background sounds seemed to be a bit more brought to the front. For example... | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi @zlone @jrareform @moto_man Finally got my Magic Power cord (beautiful cord, so well made and fits like an absolute glove) and just last night switched the Furman over to the Shunyata. Boy that in itself was an adventure. Damn if I didn’t have t... | |
| “Civilian” reaction to your gear? Great post. My best friend of over 42 years, first time he heard it, I turned the lights out, played “The Look Of Love” by Diana Krall. When the song was over, I flipped the lights on and he had tears literally streaming down his face…he was spee... | |
| Gone but not forgotten I know Dynaudio is obviously still alive and quite well, but I miss their Audience line of speakers. Man the first time I sat down for that first intimate session with my Audience 82’s once I got them home and broken in, I was truly awestruck. Gre... | |
| The streaming revolution. I was a holdout for the longest time. The idea of having to basically “rent” music I just couldn’t wrap my brain around it…soon as I dipped my toes in the water (Bluesound Node first streamer) - LIFE CHANGING! | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi Thanks @moto_man. I’m not sure exactly how mine is wired? It is right next to my breaker box. It has 2 lights that are green. I know if they change color that means something’s bad. I’m on 7 years now with this protector but both lights remain gre... | |
| Tidal removed one of my favorite artists I recently ran into this on my playlist on Qobuz. “How Long” was all of a sudden like grayed out. I went and searched for it and found it so I added it back in and plays fine. That would have really bummed me out, I love that song! | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi @moto_man so sorry to hear this! Wow! You’d think the whole house surge protector would keep everything safe as kittens. Though I did just kind of recently discover they only last about 5 years. I had no idea I thought they were good forever. I’v... | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi @jrareform Right on, my friend👍🏻…Thank you again, and I will try the amp into the V16. I’m excited and have high hopes for the V16👌🏻 | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi @zlone @jrareform absolutely will follow up on this thread once I’m up and running! I’m hoping to get my Magic Power cord some time next week. Definitely anxious and excited to introduce the V16 to the rig! @jrareform I would have loved to go ... | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi Thanks @zlone. I do have a whole surge protector and my rig is on a dedicated 20A line. I was told that all Shunyata conditioners offer surge protection. No further details and I didn’t ask. I guess at this point I’m comfortable enough to keep the... | |
| Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day? I’ll add that what I do is power everything back on Thursday night before I go to bed. Then first thing in the AM on Friday before I go to work I play music at low level and let it play until I get home from work so everything is warmed up and rea... | |
| Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day? Interesting post. My main rig which does double duty for HT and music is in my Family/Theater room. I only use it on weekends. So Friday to Sunday night. Mon-Thurs I am in my living room. I used to leave everything on in my main rig. But then I fi... | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi Thanks for the thoughtful reply @jrareform. Interesting point on the amp. When I bought my Earthquake Joseph Sayhoun the owner off Earthquake called me and we spoke quite a few times. What a great guy. And boy he is one hell of a character! He was... | |
| Shunyata Venon V16 or Furman Elite 20pfi @patrickalston Thank you for taking the time to respond. I had always looked at the Reference series and would have absolutely gone that route but the cost was too rich for my blood. Only reason I jumped on the V16 was the 40% off sale which broug... |
