Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del

Sorry to have injected an inaccurate/spurious term ("micro arcing") in the discussion. I couldn't think of a way to describe the phenomenon that has been explained to me. My poorly stated observation is that anywhere there is a connection, distort...

Dedicated Lines & Power Conditioners

Dedicated Lines & Power Conditioners
I agree with Tvad and Shadorne, and will add: ALWAYS start with dedicated circuits and good outlets (like PorterPorts or Jena Labs) and listen WITHOUT additional power conditioning for a while. If you're still hearing some problem, or you just wan...
