| Hot Dog! Fidelizer Pro! I love it! Years ago, I tried an early version of Fidelizer (free version) on my laptop with an i7 processor. With Fidelizer running, the cooling fan was on high speed the entire time. I stopped using the app since since the unit got so hot. I was concer... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects @almarg Good police work! Same name, both musicians - but, two different people. You deserve a TV show about solving audio mysteries - perhaps, with an occasional murder of a spouse whose marriage had an impedance mismatch. LOL. | |

| If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps... Being a pig of limited means I have looked at the used market Are you saying that people who buy pre-owned merchandise are filthy, glutinous and reside in mudholes? What a strange thing to say. | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. @brianlucey You got my curiosity going. I’m wondering how my preamp would sound in a pro system. Perhaps, a few other Los Angeles Audiogon members would be interested as well. Maybe offer an invite and see who would like to participate - and wh... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. dweller " . . . To many variables to consider your opinion respectable." You said it. You own it.

| Speakers on speaker stands-isolation ideas? +1 Chayro There are different types of ’isolation’. Some use the term ’vibration control’. Search the Audiogon forum archives for ’coupling’ vs ’de-coupling’. Experimenting with each will provide the solution that works best for you. Clarity suffe... | |

| power cables' effect on power conditioner? - 1. I find that each power cord in the chain affects the sound - sometimes, significantly. In my rig, I’ve got three different brand power conditioners operating off three different circuits. Over the years, I’ve swapped many cables in differe... |
