A few years back I had two 10' copper whole earth grounding rods installed in my yard as well as a 60 amp sub panel that powers my stereo room. All outlets are in phase and with one of these my home is pretty well protected.

I've found the sub out from my preamp to be the easiest when I had my two SVS 2000 Pros hooked up to my system. SVS have a app that uses bluetooth to connect and control phase, crossover and volume if you choose not to use the controls on the back of the subs. If you only have one sub out from...

I'd just stick with the USB. In some systems the i2s may give some improvements. But, most reviewers have found that the USB is pretty much equal to i2s with the Harmony. I am using the USB from the Rose 150b to the LAiV uDDC and a i2s cable to the Harmony DAC.

I clearly have a bias since I've owned these speaker from November of 2023. But, they are the best speakers I've ever owned. They just play music every time I sit and listen to my system. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/2025-ultra-high-end-loudspeaker-of-the-year-magico-s3-2024/

My system has gone through multiple changes and cost. But, I still just keep what works for me. Cheap and stable.

Looks like a very comfortable room to listen in. Is that a Monster HTS-5000 power conditioner? I used one when I had a HT setup. That was a long long time ago. Enjoy!

Moved on to some other Dylan LeBlanc tracks.

I find myself listening and re-listening to this at home or in the car this week.

Why ... NO! That would be silly.

I'm afraid Randy that responding to some here reminds me of a joke that I'll change a little. You can always tell a cultist You just can't tell them much!

I would encourage readers to take a look at this years China auto show coverage by a couple of Brits, and think about how the US can win in a trade war with China. This use to be the market the west hailed as the benchmark of western technology and strength. And we trained and handed it over for...

I find it really interesting that we are now the victim of the global market that we created. For over forty years we were told that to be part of the global market we must move our industrial manufacturing away from the US. And now we are being taken advantage of by the industries we shipped out.

Dizzy I think you are confusing Mintakax with me. Peter was at my house around three years ago. So, selective memory may have played a part in my post. The main point I took away from Peter was how the Magico design and material needs to send energy somewhere. And using spikes or Apods...
