| Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime? My Pass Labs manual does not mention anything about on/off cycles. It does mention leaving them in stand by mode 24/7, but turning them on to listen and turning them off when not listening.IMO, it's terribly wasteful of energy to leave Class A amp... | |

| Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime? Leave them on.Leave the Transporter on, too. | |
| Power cords and soundstage I really don't understand how the difference in PC's ability to deliver current would affect phase issues created by electronics or component set up.Newbee (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)I can't begin to understand it either, but I've heard... | |
| Holographic imaging It seems to me, audiophiles naturally fall into two camps. The first camp is comprised of those who endeavor to accurately recreate the live experience. The second camp is comprised of those who wish to create an entertaining listening experience ... | |

| Power cords and soundstage The irony is that you can swap your new power cords with another brand/model, and your findings will change 180 degrees in each category...then, one or two cords will be just about right in every category (and no one can tell you which cords these... | |
