Benz SLR Gullwing, not sensitive to loading?
When I use my Benz LPS with an Aesthetix Io Eclipse dual power supply phono stage I use 47k. This setting sounds best to me. I arrived to this setting after a long period of experimentation. I appreciate the mathematical formulas to generalize on ... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
I wonder how well this new product will work with 16 ohm speakers? Sure, it will work, but, how effectively. This is a surprise for folks who have cherished the OTL designs for use with 16 ohm speakers.   
Systems over $100k
@ted_denney    A little off topic, but, what is the brand of armchair in your pic? It looks nice. Is it your listening chair? I am looking for a set of front row arm chairs that are comfortable for music listening and with enough plushness for w... 
Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?
@mijostyn  A little off topic. Would something like the Tacx Neo be useful for someone who has had recent L5/S1 artificial disc replacement with the ActiveL disc? I had the disc replacement procedure on 1 July and tried Peloton bike, but leaning ... 
Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products)
@lancelock    That’s great news. Glad you had pleasing results right from the box. John has been giving me updates and is apologizing for the delay. When did you order your F1s?    I also wonder if the owners passing had any impact on their top... 
Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk.
Lot’s off good advice here. Do not overcomplicate it for sure. Your best bet is to use a tool that you are very familiar with and enjoy...well, who "likes" spending time, lots of time worrying about very minute micro-millimeter variances in some s...

I have been on and off. Still pending shipping status...no date.   
I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time
Congratulations on your new OCL Hyperion. It is a stellar sounding cartridge and without a doubt, the Hyperion is providing you with new musical satisfaction. Regardless of what you call it, the information that is being retrieved and how it is co...

Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
@millercarbon    Which sure enough is what I hear. Soon enough we will know if that is what you hear too. I trust what you are hearing is true. 😀   That’s one of the reasons why I am enamored by these cables. We have been in this hobby for ... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
“there is no RLC network,” I would tend to agree with you; however, Townshend Audio has allowed this review which I cited above to remain on their website. Not doubting that it is not a Zobel network, but, perhaps RLC, which might be something tha... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
Instead of spouting the mantra can you explain exactly what “ next generation Fractal treatment process “ actually means ??? … as for the rest its merely a Zobel network and RF filter in a box I read in one of the European reviews that the cabl... 
Taking a 110v Luxman Integrated to Europe
If it’s a permanent move, get a local electrical technician to do the conversion, or Luxman Spana to assist in doing this conversion. If short term, then use a step down transformer and enjoy. Lived in Europe for 25 years and used step down transf... 
Beautiful listening rooms

Words and Sound
@mahgister    I read nearly all of Ray Kurzweil's books and studied AI. It is a fascinating subject for sure. Two books I recommend reading about the subject of when AI and humans will have equal intelligence, The Singularity is Near, and the ot...
