| Samsung buys Harman for $8B @valinar UN65KS9800Note that I’m not disparaging their products per se, and I haven’t necessarily established that a real - as opposed to perceived - product problem exists. What sucks is their overall ineptitude where customer service is concerne... | |
| Samsung buys Harman for $8B The hope is Samsung will provide customer service for the Home Audio gear. Please allow me to reiterate a previous post of mine within this thread. Samsung "service" SUCKS!!! | |
| Superb Service Golden Ear Technologies also has exceptional customer service. Certain folks have reported they honor their warranty even after it has expired. That is not to say they have many failures to begin with. | |

| power conditioner @lostbears okay, I read ya. Curious though because in any case fluorescent lighting can be a cause of DC on the line, and in particular if there are any dimmers involved. Also, it doesn't necessarily matter that any "offending DC item" be on the s... | |
| power conditioner @lostbears power conditioners are not designed to address hum (if coming from your amps transformer). This is why you need a DC filter.I recommend - what I use - an Emotiva CMX-2. Besides the fact that it "works", it is inexpensive (less than $100... | |

| power conditioner @ptss I looked at the site and without reading more than 10 minutes or so I'd say at face value their products (they have many models) seem viable. The technology is toroidal transformer isolation which is already known as being very good. Not su... | |

| power conditioner @toolbox149 while it's always best to have dedicated space for components (to which I categorize a power conditioner),if push comes to shove you can place the Furman on top of another component or another component on top of it PROVIDED the compon... | |
| Can you leave class D amps on and not ever turn them off? My Triton's have a class D amp (bass amp) and there is no power switch on the speaker. The manufacturer (Golden Ear) merely states that when an audio signal is present the amp is "on" and when no audio signal is present for a period of time (20 mi... | |
| Is OPPO losing it's way? @dlcockrum Thanks. I'll give serious consideration to modifying the UDP-205 once it is available, I purchase it and listen to it stock for a little while. This way I can at least have an idea of the "before and after" sound. @ricevs I glanced over... | |
| power conditioner @falconquest to your point "And it's not like they wear out so your investment can last for many many years" this is true, however, in the case of an actual surge I come to learn (by talking to electronic repair shops, not first hand experience) t... | |
| power conditioner Would like to directly answer the question posed at the start of the thread. My opinion is yes, power conditioning is important and no, it does not - or more accurately should not - improve the sound quality. As I’ve stated elsewhere on this forum... |
