What exactly is PRaT???
@ghdprentice You're welcome! Yes, 40 years of being a drummer certainly doesnt hurt.  Knowledge of 'good' sound quality?  The only parameter with good SQ, is realistic or accurate. A cymbal (keeping it simple) that sounds compressed (ie squished d... 
What exactly is PRaT???
PRaT, the most asinine term ever invented in audio.  Talk about doing audiophiles a disservice....  My version of 'PRaT'? The volume knob. If I want to bang my head, I crank that S up!   
Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why?
I didn't return my P12, but after having to send it in for warranty repair for the second time, I decided to try an AQ Niagara 5000 conditioner.  Immediately loved the AQ.  My highs had returned and everything was much, much more dynamic.  It was ... 
Power Cables
Anything from Audio Sensibility new or used in your budget.  Neotech makes nice cable (if you can find it).  I can not recommend Pangea or Blue Dragon PCs from Moon Audio unless you prefer your highs to be rolled off.  I wasted money on those, was... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
@helomech no, I am simply asking for proof of your earlier post here: Based on the measurements of most Legacy designs, I would steer clear of them. Plus their custom drivers are not as impressive as they’d like us to believe. And I am still w... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
@helomech please don't cop out and pull the 'Google is your friend' to deflect your exaggerated response.  I asked you to point me to all of the measurements that you are referring to which say all Legacy speakers seemed flawed. Speakers as tone ... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
I'm still waiting on @helomech to point me to all of these published Legacy measurements which make him steer clear of this brand.  I see a couple very old reviews/measurements but nothing showing 'most Legacy models' as he put it.  Nothing even f... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
@helomech care to share links for 'most of Legacy's designs'  measurements that you speak of?  
Should I cash in?
I cashed in a over two years ago and sold my UDP-205 for nearly 3x what I paid. I even nodded it with an LPS from OppoMod to great success. Still, it couldn't compete with my then PS Audio DS DAC playing files off my server. And now, with a Lumin ... 
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
@roxy54 lol  
In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers
@erik_squires I am sure the manufacturer was mistaken and these are in fact, the 32dB gain boards. He's going to send me the correct ones soon. Thanks for your feedback.   
In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers
@amtprod Here you go.  The chart shows L=R which isn't the best way to do it, but I wanted to show a Class D manufacturer the chart with his amp (green) being much hotter than my Ayre, even though they have the same gain (26dB).  After moving the... 
Cable vs fiber for audio quality
Fiber has lower latency and jitter with all things being equal. But I doubt you'll be able to detect much of a difference in jitter (who knows what the ISP does to the signal before it hits the fiber network leg). Latency is much more likely to be... 
So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it
Nothing to see here. Move along.   
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@calvinj The internet is filled with, not only more ’engineers’ (especially EEs!) than in reality but they’ve also all double-majored in psychology. All the while being rabid conspiracy theorists who believe tens of thousands of people are employe...
