@david_ten thank you for passing this along.

Good, well-written article for the rest of the world.  A lot of the same discussions we have, but distilled to present a view to the outsiders, free from some of the pettiness that makes us look like lunatics.  One could actually imagine someone feeling inspired enough to take a step or three toward bringing the beauty of music into their homes after reading it.

By the way, I didn't like the sound of the Luxman / Magellan room he mentioned when I attended Friday.  One needs to carefully construct a system around the Magellan speakers to avoid them coming across in a lightweight, unrefined, and overall, mid-fi manner.  That's exactly how I thought the room sounded.  It seems like Fremer's request to swap out the Nordost for Kimber loudspeaker cable, definitely helped.  I don't feel at all surprised, and would have liked to hear the result of that, along with the amplifier change

Need to apologize for my lack of clarity and correctness.  I meant Triangle loudspeakers.  Magellan being one of their upper end models
