| Best lighting for an audio room Just enough for you to get around without knocking anything over! | |
| What's a good power cord for conrad-johnson CT5? I have a Cardas Golden Reference on my CJ power amp and it is warmer than some of the other cables that I have tried by Nordost, Electraglide and Virtual Dynamics. In my system it works well and I was looking for a little warmth. However, I have s... | |
| Loudness War Obviously, New artists and older artists are allowing their work to be produced in this manner. Maybe they are the ones that need to put their foot down. There was a post on Audiogon right after Springsteen's "Magic" and Metallica's "Death Magneti... | |

| OK to leave power on? Do you have surge protection? What if you leave it on and there is a major storm headed to your home? People that leave their equipment on all the time are only making electric companies richer. Most amps are good to go after about 10 - 20 minutes... | |
| tube amp on with speaker wire disconnected I've had the speaker wires come loose and never had a problem. I also am biwired using two sets of cables and I have had one cable come loose that was connected to the bass woofer. I just reconnected it and it was fine. In fact, this is weird, but... | |
| Electro-Harmonix:steel pins, gold pins, platinium Corrosion factor only, don't expect sonic differences. | |
