What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon?
Is there a union we can withdraw from because of this?   😳 
Magnetic isolation
Interesting product.   
Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords.
Would also seem to make sense that the wring in most homes must be well suited in this regard otherwise that would have to be the bottleneck and that mass produced wiring can't cost much in comparison to many audiophile products. So I gotta  wonde...

Yes I seem to recall that discussion and does make senseat least for power amps.   Thanks for the repost Al. For line level devices I suspect shielding is the most important factor.  Pangea power cords seem designed with these two things in mind a...

Op yes I have been to Classic Audio Reproductions with Atmasphere amps room at Capital Audiofest and the sound was top notch although the small cramped  room was a limitation most likely.  
Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords.
I’m interested in Atmasphere’s view specifically about what constitutes a power cord that works "very well" with his amps and some examples at various price points if possible.Any good quality power cord should "work well" I would think but if Ral...

Specifications with specific product examples that meet those would be great but I'll take anything objective to know one when I see one.What sounds like live music in a home environment is a totally subjective conclusion.    Plenty of those to go... 
I have an uber awesome amp, why buy a speaker with a built in woofer sub-woofer amp
Two good amps done right are better than one. Especially when bass is offloaded to one designed to do the job and enabling the other to shine even brighter.Of course one amp can do pretty well also but flat extended bass at high volumes requires g...

Jim thanks.FWIW the demo I had with Sphinx and Pharoah about a year ago was with larger newer Maggies, don’t recall which exactly. The Maggies were singing quite well with either but particularly with larger Pharoah. I did not get to compare with ...

Ralph,I'm curious what technically constitutes a power cord that "works very well" with your amps and what are the ones that work best at various price points?Thanks. 
Magnetic isolation
Fec, You've peaked my interest.  What magnetic levitation product are you using?   I'd like to read up on it. 
Current Marketplace for Vacuum Tubes?
Yes no doubt tubes are unique to sell in that the difference between a great tube worth a lot and an average or poor one worth not much in terms of noise and wear, performance etc. can be hard to discern and bank on in advance, so trust is more im...

Sunny did you mention what the speakers are that will be used?I think the Rogue Pharoah is the bomb for its asking price.  My local dealer who sells a plethora of amps and separates from ARC Rogue and others considered it his favorite and I was im... 
Current Marketplace for Vacuum Tubes?
Hi tvad. Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well.If desired value cannot be realized right here on agon, where those willing to pay a premium for quality tend to lurk, then I would think ebay is best bet for getting a fair market value. I’ve alway... 
Magnetic isolation
I can listen at a higher volume with clarity & with a more substantial/extended dynamic low end. That certainly sounds consistent with less low frequency noise and vibrations as a result of effective isolation.   Turntable isolation is almo...
