The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear
The Koss Model 1A are big full range electrostatics that can be tri-amped if that is your wont. I had the Fulton Nuance three-way speakers which are not chopped liver. I also had two, count em, Ultra Tweeters, another very interesting speaker in i... 
Review: VPI Magic Brick Tweak
What you really need to do to reduce magnetic fields is wrap the transformer in mu metal. The low frequency high permeability metal absorbs 85% of the magnetic field with one wrap and 95% wrapping twice. 
Is Audio nirvana real?
There is no absolute sound. No use pretending that some arbitrary subjective thing like Audio Nirvana is real or can be obtained by anyone. It’s like trying to solve ten simultaneous equations in twenty unknowns. The sound of a very good system ch...

Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing
