What's Your Favorite Type of Listening Chair for Audio
dekay, oh, I'm so sorry for you... When you die, can I have your rig?   ;) 
Wait- OMG! The song is really about...?
"Mercy, Mercy, Me" is about overpopulation and environmental collapse.  
Night and day speaker connection
There is a simple explanation for this. You have effectively doubled the gauge to all the drivers with speaker cable. Imo the change is not primarily due to moving to use of a jumper, but by supplying the entire works with double the speaker cable... 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
This week I had my first shot at using a set of same brand pre/class D amp. I am running a double Schroeder Method setup, two pairs of double ICs, one set from DAC to pre, and the other from pre to Class D amp. The results are as typical, wonderfu... 
Hegel or Pathos?
Don't have experience with Hegel, but you will want to seriously consider getting another MkIII and using them as integrated monos. See my discussion of this in my reviews of the Classic One versions at Dagogo.com The mono operation of the Classic...

Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles?
"Indeed there have been no major upheavals in scientific thought for almost one hundred years." I think you need to pay more attention to what is happening in biology (That is, if you’re interested). :)Read Malcom Gladwell’s "Blink", which if I ha...

Wait- OMG! The song is really about...?
yyzsantabarbara, point well taken. The term I used "imported" could be misconstrued to mean the Beetles had taken a Christian song and made it into an idolatrous song. It never was Christian, though a great many people thought it was, and were sho... 
Wait- OMG! The song is really about...?
One that I always found sadly amusing was Sting's "Every Breath You Take," which was about stalking an ex. To show how little attention people pay to lyrics/music's message, this was a popular wedding dance song. As a Christian I disliked how the ... 
OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system.
Perhaps a budding System Builder!  :) Don't stop at the Moon. Systems can be taken "light years" beyond. You want to hear a universe of sound; it's there for the taking.  :) 
Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?
Watch what you are doing, for yourself and your guests hearing loss is permanent. When I turned the PureAudioProject Trio15 Horn 1 speaker sideways (reviewed for Dagogo.com; see my system pics) I gave some people an idea. It's being used in some c... 
Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1
Looking forward to your discussion of it when used in your system. :)  
Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1
After I had reviewed the SONORE Signature Rendu SE for Dagogo.com they came out with the systemOptique upgrade; it's an Ethernet to optical converter leading to the Sig. Rendu. That was a shocking moment as well for the same reason, as the noise c...
