Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
An earlier response suggested blowing the nose before listening.   As you've probably experienced when changing altitudes, such as when flying, changes in the inner ear pressure can dramatically affect hearing.  If you are prone to nasal congestio... 
I have been a stickler about keeping power cables away from signal cables...on equipment ?
Perhaps I missed it, but I don't see anyone considering that vibration in the cables/cords are as big or bigger a factor in degraded sound performance as electrical interference.  I keep my power cables as far as reasonably possible from my ICs an... 
New Tinnitus study and possible treatment (via Science Daily)
As with many aspects of medicine, our understanding of the causes of hearing loss and aberrations such as tinnitus are in their infancy.  To give you an idea of newer research trends you might find this article interesting: https://www.popsci.com/... 
Best room treatment
My large listening room, roughly 21x14, with a peak 12' cathedral ceiling, has a full wall of windows on one side, a floor to ceiling brick fireplace wall in the back, and a flimsy wallboard wall opposite the windows (due to pocket doors).  Wood f... 
Best 40 to 50k used speakers
You might consider purchase of an old pair of YG Anat and upgrade the innards to whatever level of Sonja components you can afford.  Better yet, find a used pair already upgraded, as I did.  You'll get the sound of the current model without the pr... 
GamuT M230 Mono Amps - Anyone have a pair?
The amps have departed mu posession with no additional information to share.  In spite of promises, nobody who represented Gamut ever followed up with any helpful information. 
Gamut Speakers....Anyone? Hello?
L7s were my primary speaker for about 6 years until I replaced them with YG.  I also owned the L3.  Impressive speakers, both.  The L7s are a bit difficult to place properly with their dual ported bass but once you dial them in they present a rewa... 
GamuT M230 Mono Amps - Anyone have a pair?
I'm posting this just in case this ever comes up so somebody won't have to do the leg work I went through.  As best as I can determine, what was sold in the USA as M230 was a prototype to the M230 released in limited numbers in Europe which were a... 
GamuT M230 Mono Amps - Anyone have a pair?
Thanks for your response, Bill.  I sent you an email with details.  Quite a coincidence to have another pa8r of M230 listed right now!  I've been corresponding with that fellow and hoping to get photos of his amp innards.  His have M230 decals.  I... 
GamuT M230 Mono Amps - Anyone have a pair?
TJASSOC,You missed that I said I purchased them new.  I didn't want to respond until I gave the folks at GamuT a couple more days.  They not only didn't respond to my 2nd email, they didn't respond to an audio associate of mine who knows them pers... 
GamuT M230 Mono Amps - Anyone have a pair?
For what it's worth, these supposed M200s (according to GamuT) somehow grew an extra couple very large capacitors per amp.  M200s only have 2.  I'd still like to hear from anybody who has a pair or is familiar with them, though.
