The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
Ausaudio, maybe it was in the USA, but I'm from Russia. Our first digital telephone stations appeared in the 1990s, and then only in large cities. In St. Petersburg (5 million people) back in 2000, some stations did not understand the tone set,... 
Speaker Spike Philosophy
@mitch2 , I know you are not the salad guy.Whether the model applies or not, using Coulomb friction in any literature directed at audiophiles, to me, is not above board, as most would have no idea that means nothing to do with electricity (in gene... 
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
I agree 100%. Successful 78 recordings sound extremely realistic on the gramophone, and I feel that no electrical system can so accurately copy the effect of a live presence during a performance as a mechanical gramophone. In this paradoxical s... 
Speaker Spike Philosophy
This stuff wears me out. How many illogical analogies can be made in one paper....how many times can you say "Coulomb Friction"....why not just say, "only our product will fix the problem you didn't realize you had....." Props for persistence... 
Speaker Spike Philosophy
The statement you are referring to is backed by technology, physic. I am all ears. What technology and physics?By changing the effectiveness of the grounding plane (platform or spikes), the transfer of resonance becomes reality where your book-m... 
Snake oil??
Yes, even the latest OLED screens I’ve seen from Sony and Panasonic are cartoonish and chocolatey I’d say. Purely a setting and demonstration model issue. They ship to look good in the store, not to be critical viewing devices. Most people are imp... 
My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music
I guess pointing out that it is 2021, and joking aside, a post that alienates 1/2 the population is not classy.  Perhaps it speaks to the age of the average audiophile?  Most women never wanted to read crap like this they definitely don't these days. 
How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers?
Here’s my pecking order among the different streamers I own: sonos zp90, auralic Aries, lumin M1, Roon Nucleus, Soundware 300ref (more of a reclocker with roon capabilities), lumin S1, Grim MU-1. The arrival of the Grim has led me to say goodby... 
Snake oil??
I've seen the newest TVs. They have some really annoying digital artifacts that I couldn't live with. Yes, they are impressive at first, but they are like an audio system that has incredible transparency but lacks emotional musical impact. They...

FWIW one of them is probably lying. 
Minimum Broadband Speed Necessary For Uninterrupted Qobuz and/or Tidal Listening?
I will state again, learn how to set up your router to prioritize your music streaming connection. Streamers buffer, that means they can accept short periods without connectivity.  Give priority to the most important data streams and drop outs bec... 
Can anyone recommend a printable label for vacuum tube boxes?
Like good audio equipment, invest in good tape. Get the ones with long life adhesive designed for industrial applications. https://www.amazon.com/Brother-TZES621-Labels-Strength-Industrial/dp/B00ZP2X5IW/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&...https://www.avery... 
Snake oil??
That ECI stuff is more of a true contact enhancer, nano carbon particles designed to reduce the micro-arcing that occurs when the signal jumps across microscopically small gaps in between conductors. Surely someone has posted a video where they ... 
Magico Customer service
I would be quite fine with Morel building the drivers to Magico specifications, and Magico design. Morel, is likely to have better processes and quality control capability since drivers are their specialty. It is not different from any other contr... 
No free lunch
If the whole cone is not moving in unison there is distortion. Is that what you meant?
