For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls?
The spikes supporting the wooden base the speakers sit on.  It's a pretty big coincidence because I had been playing music at that level for a few years from when she first moved in, early morning and in the evening, and it never had been a probl... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
Well then Pass is a well known and admired popular brand in the audiophile world. I would like to know if others have used up market cords with Pass and found they did improve the sound. Or does everybody who buys Pass use the stock cord? I woul... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I think I've been honest in saying I put in an expensive AU power cord and did not hear a difference but I did with the Shunyata. When I have the time I will be experimenting with the AU power cord on different components. The AU gets great review... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
Nope not click bait. The used Shunyata Sigma v2 NR I bought is for my ARC pre. Even used the Sigma is not cheap.  But I liked the improvement. I don't know why that would have been deleted.  I'm one of those I know what I like people. I'm not an e... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I see a number of threads which are of a subject that I have a great interest in and when I click on it it has been deleted. I always wonder if a manufacturer has complained because their product came off badly. But then everybody's experience is ... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
Yes my amp is a stereo Pass 250.8 and the manufacturer said don’t bother. I originally had a $500 going into the Pass and replaced it with the expensive cord. I don’t think my system is entry level. Maybe mid. I am going to place the expensive cor... 
For those familiar with Sonus Faber
I have an Arc ref 10 and a pass 250.8. So I’ve already spent a lot of money there. I was also looking at the Maxima Amators but one woofer? What are massed strings and brass going to sound like? I listen to many types of music. I do not have a la... 
For those familiar with Sonus Faber
Thanks to all.  
Am I right for this forum?
If you are happy with your system, if the sound fills you with passion and immerses you in the joy or sadness of the music and you want to keep listening to it all the time without getting fatigued and have to pull yourself away from it when respo... 
Buying Used Speakers
I had an excellent experience with buying used. They were sent freight the seller including the freight in purchase price which were demos at half price. Arrived in beautiful condition. And sounded great. Went totally on reviews. I had no choice b... 
Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
Buy used. You could get a pair of beautiful speakers for that much money. Read reviews(not only Stereophile!) and what people have to say on this and other chat sites. You have to spend this kind of money to get great quality in audio(pace that ot...

Are the Xangsane DIY?  
power cord for pass 250.8
Well the Xangsane is comparably affordable and has a 90 day return period so maybe worth a try. Though could it be comparable to a Shunyata Research Sigma V2 or an Audioquest Dragon or Nordost TYR 2? I'm looking at the long term here. But these ot... 
Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension
Yes this is a concern of mine. But I usually look at how many positive reviews a seller has. I bought a Shunyata research on Us Audiomart and there was a noticeable improvement. I mean when they say it's a demo is it?  
power cord for pass 250.8
Does anybody have any response to what bojack says? Or is this a controversy that goes back to before the flood?
