@glupson: Why poor Randy?  Sounds like he had a great system!!

Also, kudos to oregonpapa for having something similar.  His success takes nothing away from Randy's system.  It is not a zero sum game.  Sounds like Randy's system gave oregonpapa a glimpse of what is possible and therefore what he should strive for.

It would be my wish that we ALL had amazing systems that have the "time machine" quality that takes us back to the instant of the original performance/recording.  I think that is what most of us want, and we should all be working, collectively, to make that possible.

I have used TC and was very, very happy with the results.  Had I know Tim was sick and there was uncertainty about future supply, I would have bought many, many tubes of it. I have had to disassemble and move my system multiple times now and the magic is receding :(

@glupson: I was inviting a potential criticism by being so quantitative.  I should have just said countless.  BTW, I made 3 rather large improvements to my system yesterday (cable routing, room treatments and adding an LPS).

I fear you have been distracted by the number and missed my point in that part of my response.  Oh Well !!

As you may have guessed, I am royalty ...

@audiodesign: I do truly "think" that.  BTW, in my way of thinking, "believes" are for church.

With that clarification ... it is a big goal, but I have found that big goals help facilitate small successes towards the goal and keep one from getting off track.  It is clear to me that such a goal is still a long ways away.  I have made thousands of improvements to my succession of systems over the last 45 years, with each one having a very audible improvement and this trend has not diminished.  If we were getting close to the goal of an audio "time machine", I would posit that each step closer would get smaller and more difficult.  Since that has not been my experience, I have come to wonder if the distance to my goal is still quite large.

Either way, there are going to be many paths that might take us to that goal and our collective wisdom and experience will get us there faster.  That is part of the value of communication and sharing here.

PS-this thread was not a waste for me.  I learn something and improve my knowledge and brain from nearly everything I do.

I judge a system with my eyes closed ...
