Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
If someone did actually threaten you in a private EMAIL, you should bring that to the attention of the moderators. Call it "tattling", but odds are you are not the first. 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
kfscoll,The construction of his wire, will result in low inductance which is good for high frequency transmission. I will not fault it on that, though some amplifiers may not like it.However, that does not negate the paper which is poppy cock. 
Multi Meter Tweak
When you don't know whether a thread is an intentional troll or not, that pretty much shows you the state of "tweaks".

25mm domes according to the literature and I included the formula. gosta584 posts12-07-2020 5:04amWas that math correct. All those mid-tweeters equaling one 3,75"? 
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
There is a difference between the same "specs" and measuring the same under a range of test conditions. If they measure the same under a variety of test conditions then it will be hard to tell them apart  (just like what happens in blind testing, ... 
Speaker Positioning
Good luck having your head consistently in the same spot, to the mm every time you listen.

cleeds,I find less "moral" issue with records as it would be rare for someone to take a copy of a record and resell it, though lets be honest, that is often the case with CDs, and yes, it is actually illegal to take a copy of the CD and then sell ...

@pindac,The problem I find with the current revenue model is that the most popular artists are making more money than ever, but it is very difficult for less popular artists to make a living short of being on the road full time ... though it is a ... 
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
Hey, I am developing a fondness for oldhvymec's unusual ramblings. Sure, I don't have the same "belief" that he has in the differences between cables, but buried inside many of those posts is a much healthier skepticism than a lot of audiophiles. 
Plus and Minus
I 100% totally believe you were able to pick the sonic character of an amplifier, with a CD player you were unfamiliar with, with speakers you were unfamiliar with, in a room you were unfamiliar with. Yes, totally 100%.This is a good example of wh...

Plus and Minus
Look through your collection. How much of your music is truly live recorded with a single stereo microphone pair and nothing else with no manipulation post recording?I would say for most people that is close to 0%. Even someone who really seeks th... 
suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists
The Benchmark will be by far and away the least class A-sounding, so delete immediately from your list.That's an interesting comment, since Class-A "sound" is far more influenced by design goals. A low feedback Class-A will have much different dis... 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
Use Magico S1 https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis98ica-magico-s1-mk1-full-rangeFor me, personally, I would not consider Maggies the best for tone and timbre, though many love them. I find I love them on some stuff, not on others, and that can ev... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Well Max showed, and continued to ignore 100+ years of settled engineering. He was joined by David from Wireworld who communicated his own brand of lack of engineering knowledge. Altogether it was as expected. Oh ... get this, the source impedance...
