DJIA 40000!!! CAETVR 400?

Thanks, does the SEQ have auto-switching? I can’t tell from amzn. One part of my problem is the injunction: Thou shall not plug an amplifier into a surge protector. Well I have 5, and am growing tired of powering each on every time. The other part is that I have a HT pass through, so, while...

Thanks. I’m looking for auto-switching, 18 outlets and no daisy-chaining. That device does not have switching or enough outlets. I have some auto switching in those two devices I currently have but not enough, and I must daisy-chain. A complication is that I also have a HT pass through, so...

That’s quite alright. I think I was clear on the idea that different socio-economic communities have different ideas about what is rational.

Thanks. I'm not following your remarks about 'why?' being irrelevant. It seems that question is what prompts most denizens of a university to advance knowledge (even of audio). Regardless, the OP did ask why.

Both had evidence, just not evidence accepted by one possessing a superior perspective perhaps.

Seems we agree? But for the uninitiated, it might help to explain what he meant by "differential consumption."

My point is that in a world in which half live on less than $2 per day according to the UN, it is kind of rich for anyone in the Topping crowd to be throwing stones at the Boulder/Bugatti bunch for being irrational mystical thinkers. I'm sure the wealthy have their reasons for spending their...

It is amusing to watch people attempt to rationalize the irrational. Isn't every product featured on audio websites 'high end' for most people in the world?

Hi, I have PS Audio Dectet plugged into a Monster Pro 3500 to provide enough outlets. Not all of my components have a trigger input, so I must for instance turn on four monoblocks and another amp for the subs every time I want music or HT. This makes the whole system less family-friendly than...

That specific scenario sounds like ships passing in the night; however, which company owns which, and which insider owes another a favor (like lobbying) can make a for a tangled skein.

God can be without bias. Humans have point of view, they have word choice, adjectives, adverbs, things they include and give more space to, things they exclude (when they shouldn’t have), things they overlooked without malice, laziness, rhetorical flourish, informal fallacies,etc. Even someone...

In cycling we used to call this person a Fred. Its all the same, whether skiing, golf, audio, cycling, cars, etc, there are endless upgrade rabbit holes that men (mostly) tend to fall into, instead of logging time in the actual sport/hobby itself.

If you don’t like Classical music, I guess all that can be said is that Classical music doesn’t like you.

I don’t understand. What are the damages the owner is claiming in real dollars? I don’t mean something vague like slander, or anything couched in the future tense (You will hear from my lawyer, etc). What was lost? I can’t imagine that any ‘loss’ the company can document as a result of a...

My decoder cost $40 on eBay a few years ago. I wonder what the cost was back then compared to a record. Telling someone they need an extra piece of kit just to play a record seems like a hard sale. By the time CD arrived in 1982, just as DBX was waning, you also had to buy new kit, but the...

In theory they have 90db of range, and I tend to believe it. It is a real shame that it did not catch on more during the few months DBX encoded records were made (Jack White, are you listening?...). I keep it around now, mostly to show disbelievers.

I do, and thanks for your help. Sorry, I misunderstood what John was saying earlier and afterwards (I’ve been out of town) realized that I had done just that. Shorting plugs on the phono pre inputs suggested nothing faulty downstream, but I also knew this for reasons mentioned in the op. A new...

When the cartridge returns from repair and if there is still hum, I will try again.
