Review: CH Technologies X15 power cord Power cord
I am familiar with the Nordost piece. They have co-developed software that looks at changes in jitter (time error) with insertion of cabling, conditioners, etc. As you have stated, very little in cable land can be classified as "proprietary." Othe...

And that's the other reason for the sparse nature of the website. It's designed to encourage those who are truly curious to engage by contacting us directly.I am curious. Now humor me. I come from a long line of scientists, have 20 years of educat...

Very well after extensive surgery.....

I am surprised you have added that contingency after hearing what the digital cord did in your system. I have made a lot of expensive audio purchases based on gut instinct. What does your gut tell you Gary? You have cycled through many PCs in the ...

Gary, let us know how the X20 sounds compared to Dale's Pitcher's analog power bridge..... 
How to get the impact of a live concert?
07-12-12: RlwainwrightI think the single most important element that defines the difference between the sound produced at home vs a live venue is the room itself. In most situations at a live show, the % of direct vs reflected sound is much greate... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I just find a lot of made up excuses when it comes to treatments. Most people spend leagues of time worrying about the wrong things--when room/speaker makes by far makes the biggest difference in sound. Even 213Cobra has never tried an external pi... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Really, if anyone *ever* visits my home and doesn't enjoy the music I'm playing (or they asked for) because I have a bass rise, some acoustic bounce and only a 14' x 21' space with a coffee table and a flat screen.....well.....they aren't getting ...

Thanks Charles. A system thread is forthcoming. One key element about rooms and room tuning is that it takes a team approach with multiple sets of ears/minds. It is very difficult otherwise. If I had a first order problem like that, I'd minimally ...

Charles, I had the good fortune of buying a house with an unfinished basement and thus my dream of an engineered room from the ground up has been realized. It is not your typical room with panels and bass traps. The actual walls have been mechanic...

Agear- let's be fair and highlight that the Alef gear starts at 60k an amp.That was in comparison to Wavac. Not exactly an Audiogon bargain hunters dream. ...believe in Room Acoustics and have a Rives L1 designed room- no component outside of spea...

I always find the path one has charted in this hobby (as well as the associated knowledge and relationships) to be illuminating.Agreed. The "journey" is typically shockingly haphazard and fickle despite the measured, anal retentive, retrospective ...

Thanks for the input German. The Dead reference is amusing. I have quite a few bootlegs along with a smattering of Dick's picks. My wife gets irritated by the Dead, and does not "understand" their musical merits other than being a road trip facili...

I don`t know you personaaly but based on reading your posts you come off as dogmatic and somewhat childish, as if what you prefer 'has' to be better than someone else`s choice,Come on my friend grow up.You completely missed the larger point made a... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
My point all along is due do our different preferences and goals, just choose what sounds best to 'you' and leave it at that.An overused and tired fallback position, and one that, if you or anyone else here really believed it, Audiogon would not e...
