SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business.
oscar44Tend to disagree with some on the SMEs. I've owned the IV and the V and found them to be excellent. They exude a quality and precision that makes them a joy to set up and use, and I had great experiences with many cartridges on them o... 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
atdavidYou can spend all the money and the world and ... the channel separation will still suck as it is inherent in the implementation, you will never have de-equalization perfect since you don’t know the exact equalization curve, you can’t fix w... 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
atdavid. Apparently there are people in this world who find vinyls lack of dynamic range, destruction of channel separation, equalization/de-equalization oddities, low SNR, and a host of other artifacts enjoyable. That may be true, but it wou...

The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker.
twoleftearsLet’s pose this question another way:within the normal range of human hearing, how many octaves are typically handled by 1. the tweeter, 2. the mid-range, 3. the woofer?That’s not a particularly good way to consider the question, becaus...

$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
jon_5912I’m personally disgusted by conspicuous consumption and vanity products and that’s all this is.It confounds me how anything purchased to be used exclusively inside a home could be considered "conspicuous consumption."Almost anyone can fee... 
Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?
... and if listening to a CD could induce "information overload," just imagine what might happen at a live concert! 
A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner
benjie... plain distilled water does not do anything. It will not clean your records ... It won’t remove grease or fingerprints. You need to use 1 1/2 ounces of isopropyl alcohol (70%) per tank and a surfactant to properly clean records when usin... 
30 Amplifiers Totaling $428,740.00 In Search of Audio Nirvana
