| BMC M1 vs Audionet AMP or AMP MAX Pepperidge, I have the new BMC M2s and the new LSA Statement Plus stereo amp. After Christmas I will compare the two. I have not heard of the Audionet. | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Ozzy, I have yet to stick the Power Chip to my HB Cable Designs PowerSlave. Rather it is just sitting on top the PowerSlave. I would not worry about the adhesive on the Power Chips. It is hard to peal some of these Chips off, but they do pull all ... | |
| Fuses that matter. In trying to understand what I was hearing with the Synergistic Research Quantum fuses and the HiFi Tuning Supremes versus my old IsoClean fuses, I noted the wire improvement within the fuses, the vibration dampening, the benefits of the use of WA... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Ozzy, hmm, serendipity at work. What I actually said was that I put a Power Chip on my power strip at the point that the power cord attaches. My system is out of service for a while as it is my grand daughters' bedroom and will be for seven days.O... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Davidpritchard, your experience with instruments means that it is vibrations that are being effected not electrons. I had an experience in NM that suggests otherwise. I had put one of the ic Chips on and enjoyed the improvement. Later that evening... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Ozzy, I have two Power Chips. One has been outstanding on my new HB Cable Designs PowerSlave power strip at the IEC plug. I have tried three positions on my power panel without being at all satisfied. Mine in inserted into the wall. I have tried i... | |
| Best Integrated, period. I just took delivery on the new Exemplar/LSA Statement Plus integrated amp. Frankly, I have never heard anything better. Whatever John Tucker is doing to this integrated 150 watt amp, it is shockingly good. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Suteetat, my only experience has been with the Halcyonics active isolation bases. I thought they had to be the maximum benefit isolation devices. I had two of these and used one under the turntable and one under my stereo amp. A StillPoints Compon... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Himiguel, I wish I could say that there is no benefit of them under your speakers and amps, but I cannot deny that they are amazing. I know a guy with more than 60 of them! The problem under components such as a phono stage is that the Fives are s... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Hifitime, I will just say that I have had too many experiences with audio that belie that our measures, tests, and physical laws cannot explain obvious improvements in audio reproduction. I will mention only a few. The Zilplex room treatments, a s... | |

| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Almarg and Knghifi, I appreciate that you have kept this civil. I am all for sharing personal experiences, but I view them as anecdotal or the weakest form of assessment. But it has some value. If many say the same thing, it has credibility for me... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Knghifi, having taught research design for 40 plus years, I can tell you that flawed tests are very common. We know from old research that most people have "opinion leaders" whose advice they accept. For most there are NO tests at all. As I said t... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Knghifi, I am certainly not saying I would make a decision based on an illogical test, but it is not my decision. That is my point. It is none of our business. Furthermore, what we read by reviewers borders on an illogical test. YMMV should be the... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Almarg, I don't think anyone expects you to critique their decisions on wine, women, or song. Frankly, I don't really trust anyones experiences, other than a few friends where my experiences and theirs have corresponded frequently. Also, I am very... |
