Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers
Good morning, Eric...*S*  And y'all...I think I blew past the 'pair' minimum awhile back.  And I couldn't agree more, although one needn't go to quite the extreme that I have.  It's very satisfying to listen to something that one has made with the...

Why is modern pop music today so terrible?
stfoth...*L*  Well, yeah, that's a distinct possibility...one might argue that 'suffering for art' is a consequence that has ramifications that weren't considered initially.  Hopefully one might get the opportunity to find out what selection pisse...

Why is modern pop music today so terrible?
Gentlemen, gentlemen....time and tide changes all...Tastes change, as does the medium by which one gets to play it on.  The industry (and it is) responses by modifying how and what gets 'tweaked' in the process of recording for the means of playba... 
What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?

2017 California Audio Show in Oakland, CA - Partial Review
Hi, Eric.  Interested if you've got any other observations about the Napa/Visual Arts speakers.  I recognize them as being DML type drivers, which are just becoming 'interesting' as people begin to fool around with them...http://www.tectonicaudiol... 
Room treatments
Masterplan...10' ceilings, OK.  What's the room dimensions?  Couldn't find your pic of the space....having lived in a Victorian with 10' ceilings and a small room with plaster walls to boot, know how it can be an echo chamber.  Now I've got 12' ce... 
"10 Recommended Turntables"....
lewm, I'm not surprised by your experience...some of the stuff related to 'current audio' that pops up smells like 'click bait' for the newbies or those curious about the 'new trend'.  Pity 'bout that....those whose interests lie in stocks should ...
