Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction
You forgot to mention the Frank Tchang Acoustic Resonators that were the first tiny bowl resonators, the Tchang bowls notable due to their use of pure exotic metals such as silver, gold and platinum. If I recall correctly the geometry of these tin... 
Shunyata Zitron Python Burn-In?
Sorry, I simply have no desire to listen to any music until there's at least a hundred hours on the new tubes, new cables, new fuse, whatever. I use the XLO Test CD break-in track. 
Thiel death do we part . . .
Unsound wrote,"IMHO, headphones are a completely different listening experience than listening through speakers."I agree. No crossover distortion and for most headphone amps these days SET Class A operation. Not to mention not having to futz aroun... 
Acoustic Room Treatment – any simple solutions?
I always liked Corner Tunes, Skyline diffusers, but these days there are any number of room acoustics products, from the mundane to the sublime. 
Cost effective Schumann Resonator
The recommended height is around five feet off the floor and between the speakers. If the unit is tunable you might want to try to find the sweet spot. I have often wondered how the 25,000 mile long Schumann wave fits in the room. :-)

Interesting analog experience

Mapman, au contraire. You have a proven track record. Kinda like puppy love. :-) 
Turnable database with TimeLine
Tonywinsc, Hey, me too! It's also interesting how far you can go with plain old digital, regardless of what the digital designers have in mind. Lol

Mapman, I am giving serious consideration to promoting you to Assistant Shill. 
Anyone Damp the insides of your Speaker Cabinets?
Well-made is all relative. Maybe you have in mind shipbuilding standards of construction, like Rockport speakers. 
When does speaker distortion become audible?
I'm kind of shocked no one seems to pay particular notice to the distortion at higher volumes (on almost all systems). Shirley, you realize that that distortion is not supposed to be there. Hel-loo!! 
The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp
My experience so far with tube headphone amps and Sennheiser HD600s leads me to opine it all comes down to tubes, fuses, isolation, cryogenics, cable cooking, and a lot of other things. Not to mention removing the HD600 grills and foam pads inside...
