Right between the eyes, millercarbon- Bravo! I'm the OP on this thread and have encountered an absurd amount of scorn from the hyenas that lurk on this forum . When they take their self-righteous 'science and measurements' posture, my immediate th...

Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
Sounds like an admonishment from a priest. This guy is off the deep end, for sure. His is the type of personality that gets profiled on cold case t.v. shows.

“Classic” phono stages 2007-20013?
