Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?
The only time I have heard High end gear was a visit to AXPONA. In a very large room on the ground floor. Setup of MBL speakers and associated components including mono block amplifiers the size of a small deep freezers. Can't remember all of the ... 
Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there?
A pipe, smoking jacket and slippers... I used to smoke a pipe. Gave it up when I was 7. Never had the jacket but I do have slippers. Used to drink Scotch but received a very "peaty" tasting bottle as a gift that put me off scotch permanently. M... 
As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest
@ghdprentice  You do have some beautiful speakers! I wouldn't do anything that might possibly do any damage. Nice room you have too!    
As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest
@ghdprentice  " Although I will not be taping anything to my speakers." I should have clarified that by writing that my Focal speakers have a glass top so no worries about the finish although I'm careful not to scratch it.

I use a laser pointer to check for vibration and aiming my speakers. Tape a pointer on a component and aim across room to see if indeed there is any vibration present. The further you aim the beam the more it magnifies any vibration. With speakers... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I have been enjoying my SAE 2700B EQ for years. Why not use EQ?

Garage into listening room?
@mahler123  Thanks for your message. No need to apologize. A lot of crazy things going on out there for sure. Would be nice to meet with you. Will message you when we are planning our next trip.  I don't usually need to bundle up much. It's only... 
Garage into listening room?
@mahler123 Seems we share the same weather patterns. I'm in Michigan so we just wait for the weather to head east across the lake. The garage is a few feet from the house. A patio connects the house and garage together. Easy to keep the snow cle... 
Garage into listening room?
I refurbished a small garage that was on our property. Seemed like a good size. 14X19X8 inside. Heated, airconditioned great year round. Constant temps and humidity keeps things comfy. Cheap to heat and cool too. No issues with waf. No issues wit... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@ tvrgeek Thanks for your detailed response. I'm usually skeptical about such claims as I listed.  I also realize I have much to learn. Working in a research environment has helped me to be skeptical but with a need/want to understand. After re... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Facten, appreciate what you are saying. " I realize the science end has fewer proponents. "Are you really in a position to say/conclude that what they stated doesn’t occur?" Not saying it doesn't happen. I do know that my work with pulling deep... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@tonywinga Very nice setup you have. Bet it sounds great. Thanks for the responses.     facten Thanks for the info. After reading about the cables that Nordost sells I found a section about how the cables are better after "burn in" because t... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Another question if I may. Anyone know the purity of copper used in Nordost speaker cables. I didn't see any info on their website.  Thanks!
