Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
@mitch2 Actually brass connectors can sound quite good, my dealer, who built my amp and also builds custom speakers likes to use brass binding posts. He says they just sound better and I can't disagree. Anybody else see the problem with this st...

The finest performance car ever produced is the Ford GT. Before that is was the GT 40. Before that it is was the 289 Cobra.Or...you could say the finest performance car is the Tesla Model S with the big battery pack.Or the Bugatti VeyronOr You cou... 
Speaker cone shape
The Walsh Ohm speaker sounds awful. It's a novel design, but next to anything else it's terrible. Explain to me how a single voice coil driver made from three different materials firing downward can have a wideband, high fidelity frequency respons...

At the worst, I’m trying to convince someone of the importance of something they have zero need for.Marketing claims, and the hype that goes along with them, are like water off a ducks back to me. Bingo. Truth really doesn't matter to a markete...

Recording engineers often take a listening break. Why? Because the sound changes when listening for too long. It’s called ear fatigue...and the ear/brain interface adjusts to changes from long term listening.Entertaining review, though. Neutrik ma...

Fair!My best to you.... Likewise!@dletch One day, a few will clue in to the fact that if all they chase are marketing claims and not real substantiated audible claims, then things will never get better and that they are part of the problem. Maybe...

@perkriWhy so defensive? Did I touch a raw nerve? I have heard enough BS presentations at CES over the last 30+ years, plus I restore loudspeaker systems/components for that same amount of time, while also being a working musician for 45+ years to...

@steakster   It's become whack-a-mole.  They just keep on popping up. Worser yet..Unproven "Technology" that doesn't exist through objective means...but keeps magically appearing. Only marketing fluff with no way to prove efficacy by any type o...

@perkri What?Tweaks are not something that have to be overcome!Lets see... The components need to sit on top of something. Hmmm, do they sit atop a rickety old chair, or a solid platform?Tweak one...Now, to better control vibration, both inside an...

In the grand scheme of audio systems...less is more. The more tweaks you put in the system, the more hurdles that need to be jumped. My favorite music system for years is CD/DVD/computer player through passive volume control straight to power amp ...

@jpeters568 You are obviously a realist that doesn't fall for "subjectivity" of spending large amounts of cash wishing the tweak will actually deliver the audio nirvana that's advertised. The atmospheric conditions of the room will have more im...

A fine whiskey before serious, critical listening makes it all sound better.Just ask Ted.https://vimeo.com/537031075?fbclid=IwAR0RHuGf70Lnb5eyXMoWk_oElATYrvDea7krnslYYn3QQER149nRX07vPwo
