DartZeel CTH-8550 vs PS Audio BHK 300 Mononlocks
Have never heard Dart gear so can’t help with comparison. All I can add is that when designing the BHK’S they made a solid state input stage and a tube one and planned to offer both. The tube was so far superior they canned the SS option. I really...

What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
Following up on my car post and having the entire car wrapped in paint protection film (and the great advice here not to do it myself) I finally found someone at a reasonable price. He is doing such a great job so far, I made a 45 second video of ... 
Emotiva not so good
Interesting.... I have had their XMC-1 pro since it was released and just love the sound for home theater, which is what I use it for exclusively. It did sound even better once plugging it into a good power conditioner. At the time people compared... 
It isn't the bits, it's the hardware
Now that this thread has gone off the rails, I'd like add on my thought on spinning disks.  If the data was not fully retrieveable, would a DVD work?  Video signals I belive are more critical than audio signals in that we would see errors from the... 
Has anyone here made a purchase from Starsound Technologies recently?
What are you ordering?  I love their products and wish I could afford an entire multi level rack system from them, or even better, one of their entire tuned rooms.  But i’d Have to be a government contractor with one of those sweet no bids contrac... 
What is it.........
I’m going to say it’s because the car radio runs off battery power and doesn’t have the harmonic distortion of AC powered systems. Also another complete guess is that perhaps when our brain hears a low bandwidth signal it isn’t expecting anything ... 
What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
Nice to hear about everyone’s lovely bicycles- mine was recently stolen. I used it for getting around NYC and had it highly tricked out including a cirrus bodyfloat seat suspension. My new new hobby should be planting a decoy bike to catch the MF’... 
Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
Luisma I have to say that imagining the scene of you removing the belt and it flying into the speaker Seem like something right out of an Austin Powers movie. Only a true audiophile would loose the amorous moment after that- a normal person wouldn... 
It isn't the bits, it's the hardware
P05 sounds like you’re using the DIrectstream, as am I.I recently did some listening tests with some albums that were released at 16 bits and then later at 24 bits (both at 44.1 and seemed like the same mastering)The differences were very similar ... 
South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort!
I’m visiting South Florida this week and would love to hear some top systems if anyone feels like showing off their rigs.Also does anyone know where to hear Soundlabs in South Florida?I can return the favor when you’re in NYC. 
You could work for any manufacturer, past or present...
A friend just informed me he worked for NY audio Lab - Julius Futterman’s outfit. 
Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
Well thanks for exposing my friend Candice as the “speaker moving guest.”  Now she probably won’t come back.   
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Having liked the original Pulsars and being interested in Graphene, I thought I’d read a few posts but got sucked into reading the entire 9 page thread containing everything Jerry springer could ask for. Physical threats, a fight where a city got ... 
Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
@dworkman Glad I could entertain you.  That was the purpose, sharing an experience that only audio enthusiasts could appreciate.  I've since taken some time to experiment with new speaker placements, and I've marked the positions.To answer a few q...
