Speaker Stands Filled With Kitty Litter? TRUE???
OK, here’s the theory. The most rapid evacuation of energy out of the physical system occurs when there are no soft materials involved to slow or constrain that flow of energy out of the system. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: But wouldn’t the s...

All this talk about drugs. I’m pretty sure I just got a contact high. Whoa! 😳

Don’t tap on them whilst music is playing.  
Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron
Doesn’t that overlook the “stylus jitter” produced by unwanted seismic type vibration of the platter? 😳

millercarbon, I guess you did the best you could do with what you have. You cannot be penalized for that. As McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest sarcastically says to the inmates after he was unable to lift the 300 lb water cooler, At leas...

Acoustics are often overlooked? Yeah, right. Maybe by rank beginners. I thought this was supposed to be a high end audio forum. Come on, people! Let’s try to get out of first gear. First gear, it’s all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)Second...

The false notion of isolation? Are you out of mind? Dive weights. 👨‍🚀 Give me a freakin break! I already know what you’re going to say, “It sounds fabulous!” Knowledge. That’s what’s left after you forgot whatever it was you supposedly learned in ...

Milt Jackson’s stuff on Savoy especially the Japanese Denon remasters is pretty sweet. 
Clipping
The CD doesn’t sound distorted nor does it cause clipping. Obviously playing a guitar with a violin bow causes some distortion but that’s not what you guys are talking about. What causes clipping is unrestrained dynamic range. Distortion per secon...

Apparently you can. You just did. 
Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
Belief in ones own handiwork is a very powerful antidote to getting the best sound possible. Two obvious examples I can think of are Helmholtz resonators are easily overdone. And wires running together even though they don’t touch are still affect...

Wow! That’s a lot of generalizations!! If I didn’t know better I’d think you were channeling the dude from Stereo Review who famously opined all amplifiers that measure the same sound the same. I’m pretty sure everyone and his brother have been aw... 
So What Is Real?
Just curious, when’s the last time you had your ears candled? 🕯
