How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?”
Actually, I do get that “in the room” experience very often with my system, with vocals, with solo guitar, sometimes with piano. Always late at night. Never with larger ensembles, which wouldn’t fit in my listening room. But with any musicians who... 
OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke?
The thing is, I have applied the nps to my system and you obviously haven't done that. This site would be a lot more informative if I didn't have to wade through commentary by people who criticize products they haven't tried. When someone says the... 
OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke?
So bizarre. The music sounds better to me, and I know my music intimately. Various tracks and albums that I have been listening to for decades and that I've used to test my system for years sound better in clear and describable ways now that I hav... 
OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke?
I've applied the nps-1260 to two runs of unbalanced interconnects, one run of speaker cables, and two power cords. It works. I'll be doing fuses next.It's exasperating to hear comments from people on this forum who haven't tried a product but stil... 
Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!
I’ve just tried it and it works. So far I’m using it on my interconnects (server/DAC to tube line stage to tube monoblocks) and on the power cords feeding my server and an etherRegen. Four days in, improvements across the board in terms of bass (l...

Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!
I’ve known plenty of tweaks that made a small and positive difference, but none that brought forth the usual cliches that stereo reviews are prone to (“veils were lifted …”, etc)and the the posted review skated so close to. Sounds like Perfect Pat... 
Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier
Coincident Technology makes a limited edition 845 amplifier. They’re a Toronto company. I think very highly of their Frankenstein momblocks, which are 300B. Those guys know their tubes. 
Looking for new speakers
I have a room the same size as yours and listen nearfield mostly to vocals and small ensembles. The best speakers I ever heard in this space have been Reference 3A De Capos. They are standmounts, quite sensitive. Strongly recommend you look into t... 
Which is the most important part of a stereo system?
There is no most important component. They call it a stereo “system” for a reason. My own approach is to figure out what the weak link is and address that next. It’s a never-ending project and the improvements get smaller and smaller but my abilit... 
Perfect Path Total Contact no longer?
I’m very sorry to hear this, and deepest condolences to Chrissy. I purchased their TC three weeks ago and Have found it very worthwhile. Very few accessories make much difference to my system (which I bought instead of a Porsche, ,rueful grin), bu... 
New Place - What Would You Do?
Sounds like a good time to upgrade you power supply. Hospital grade wall outlet (Furutech or Wattgate), perfect path contact enhancer (and a PPGate, if you’re flush enough)" , dedicated lines. That is what I’d do first if I was moving to a new hou...

Just upgraded my Integrated Amp - now here a HUM out of my LUMIN - HELP
Back to tom 8899apology accepted. Same point — the noise with my lumin stopped completely when I added a passive pre-amp to my system.
