Yes. The battery banks all have built in inverters. The utility here is notorious for spikes and brown outs. My gear never sees those so there is some benefit of a DC/AC source.

I have a 80 kWh battery array between the grid and my house including stereo system. The grid and/or my solar panels charge the batteries and my house (and audio system) draw power from those batteries exclusively. If the grid is down and the batteries are discharged, the propane generator will...

I'll bet the lights in his neighborhood dim when he is playing those monsters. Congrats to the owner. What a set up! Eric

The other trick drivers for both of these services have used with me if they were running late or feeling lazy was to record that I was not available to sign for it. This while I sat at home waiting on them to show up.

I have some personal experience with lost shipments. I shipped a $150,000 classical guitar of mine and found out on the day of delivery it went missing. I had double insurance: this shipper plus specific musical instrument coverage. Even with that, I was going crazy. We processed the claim and...

Monster speaker with a monster sound. I heard them last year at the Expo and still have bruises from the bass SLAM! Amazing design.

Very sad news. I had a session with him at my home some years ago and was impressed by his knowledge and his personality. RIP. Eric

Omega-X QR in both 15 and 20 amp versions.

Traded them to Mike for credit on the new purchase. It was a very nice deal as you would expect from him. Eric

I recently upgraded the majority of my power cords (DAC, Clock, Conductor, Monoblock Amps) with Shunyata's new Omega X power cords. I've gone through this evolution multiple times in my 35 years in this hobby. I have never been disappointed by Shunyata. This post is a brief plug (pun intended)...

I went down this rabbit hole a few years ago. I had several pairs of high end phones from all the key manufacturers along with amps to match. In the end, the large, spatial, three dimensional presentation of room speakers trumped them all.

I have had 3-4 servers in my system over the years. I never noticed any significant changes in sound quality with each introduction. until......Pink Faun's Ulta. Based solely on Mike's recommendation and enthusiasm for a brand that was totally unknown to me, I made the investment and was...

All I can say is "Wow!"

I have been a fan of Robert Harley for many years and have purchased gear he enthusiastically recommended. Faint praise is not enough. Once I established that his sonic tastes were similar to mine, I trusted him and purchased based on those reviews. The only times I have been disappointed were...

You will not be disappointed!
