New Project RS2T transport
@astronomer63  I've lost power several times this year with my RS2-T always being in standby mode. It now seems the best approach under these circumstances is to just leave the unit on. When I first encountered an outage with the unit in standby,... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
@verafiaudio  Hi Mark... Your recollection of my set up is very good. I would only say in contrast that the challenge is not with my wiring however, yes for locations I am limited with only 2 wall outlets with single slots available. That is if ... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
My experience with the Puron conditioners to this point has taken a slightly different course. The first unit I received convinced me also of the build quality and performance of this small but extremely effective device. Wonderful product. Afte... 
Scary white substance on Polyethylene Sleeves
the powder substance will not do any harm to the records, but it is an ingredient used to avoid the film from adhering together.    I wonder if that applies to the "Living Stereo" records as well.  
Sweet Sounding DAC
OP...You stated the Lab 12 has the sound qualities you're looking for. Can you then use the rest of your Bricasti proceeds to upgrade your cabinet to accommodate your preferred DAC?      LP  
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
@mijostyn Back in the mid to late 80's I had Tympani 4's. The earlier version where the 3 panels did not separate. I converted my garage with advice from the Winey's to have one wall built on a slight angle to eliminate parallel walls. I then ins... 
The best speaker cables you’ve had
Hopefully what I should be hooking up tomorrow. Been using Duelund DCA 12 bare for a couple years with good results. Ordered their best silver foil 3.0 along with special order Aeco pure silver spades that I waited on special order for 9 weeks. H... 
Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
@elliottbnewcombjr, Good...Welcome back.     LP  
Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
@shtinkydog Oh my gosh...NO, perhaps I misspoke. I had the seller ship the amp with signature required. This way I couldn’t be left with a box outside I’d been advised not to lift. Then a beautiful sob story and $5 later the box was inside my ho... 
Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
Don't think I qualify. Had cataract surgery March 15th and soon after noticed a nice deal on a CJ amp. It's been sitting in the box in my entranceway for about 12 days now. In a couple more days with a friends help it should be safe enough to lift... 
Schumann Resonator
I have 4 of these somewhere. I fell asleep quicker and slept more deeply along with feeling more engaged in the music initially with them. Unfortunately, each after a few weeks lost their mojo including a relatively expensive unit. I believe they ... 
New Project RS2T transport
@bernardo  Having been down the rabbit hole with a defective unit I would lean towards a new unit. How much are you saving by buying the year-old unit? I will make a guess at 25%. The additional expense is not only an insurance policy but also a... 
what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history?
As an audiophile who has focused on value this past decade, I feel I've acquired several examples. What stands above the rest in competitive sound quality I believe is my Hornshoppe Truth line stage.  
Which preamps use 6922/6DJ8 tubes?
If you really want to turn back the clock look for the SA-5 series from Counterpoint. They used a quad set of them.  
How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers?
You should consider getting Magnaplanars. Back in the day when I had them on multiple occasions people asked where the speakers were. Can't damage them if they can't find em.
