Gotham Quadratic Diffusers
Last week I added two more Quadratic Diffusers with disastrous results. All six of the shelf’s 40 pound rated dry wall anchors pulled out of the wall. Unfortunately ,my preamp was damaged. To prevent this from happening again , I added a third she... 
The Mood Was Ruined
Totally agree. The only thing worse than musicus interruptus is coitus interruptus.  
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
I have always said you are only as old as your music. A lot of my friends and family are attracted to what they heard while going to school and don’t progress from. For myself, I am constantly searching for new music even though I am now in my sev... 
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
Being a wine geek and an audiophile I find your analogy thought provoking. I think that there are some major differences that account for the acrimony. Unless we personally made the wine outside of what we paid for it, we have no skin in the game ... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
I had the MK I DAC which I traded in for the MK II. The MK I was a very good DAC but the MK II is in another league altogether. I have had it in my system for almost 2 months and I don’t think I have ever purchased a piece of gear that made such a... 
Gotham Quadratic Diffusers
@benzman very nice room and system. Yes I think one row across would produce some nice results for you. As  Joe Niels suggested I would contact GIK for a free consultation.   
Gotham Quadratic Diffusers
Hi Joe: Ouch, I would also have canceled the order. You might want to try again. I live in Maine and I think the shipping came to somewhere around $35 . The Gothams are smaller than some of their prior diffusers. You can always place them in the c... 
Expensive Dac to keep or cheaper and change overtime
@akg_ca At least you have listened to the PS Audio MKII DAC. I am tired of folks who make negative comments on gear they haven’t even listened to. In my first response I mentioned how good this DAC was with redbook CD ‘s. That is where the real va... 
UPS. Friend Or Foe?
Where they packaged one of the speakers they should at least be responsible for the damage on that one. About 10 years ago I purchased a Parasound amp on Audiogon . UPS packaged it using those cheap air filled plastic pillows . Half of them were d... 
Expensive Dac to keep or cheaper and change overtime
@akg_ca We are still eagerly waiting for your response as to what you deem to be “ Illusory and fleeting bragging rights limited by negligible material available currently to enjoy or showcase”. Have you even heard this DAC  before making such sta... 
Expensive Dac to keep or cheaper and change overtime
@akg_ca I have to disagree with some of your conclusions about the PS Audio DSD MK II DAC. I had my last PS Audio DAC for 13 years. Initially, I believe they might have called it the Perfect Wave( please correct me if I am wrong) . I upgraded it t... 
VPI dust cover
Contact Stereo Squares. They have made several custom acrylic covers for me including one for a VPI rim drive HRX turntable.  
QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?
@willgolf go to virtual systems. In the search function at the top type lwin and it should come up.   
QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?
@willgolf my Synergistic Research power cell is plugged into the QSA that takes care of my amps. I also have a PSAudio Stellar power conditioner plugged into the power cell to give proper current to my front end components. I just posted a little ... 
QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?
One of my audiophile buddies visited for the last two days. He knows the sound of my system very well. He immediately noticed the improvement in sound after two songs and was flabbergasted when he saw the QSA plug that accounted for it. I have tri...
