Cryoset online store - what happened?
Maybe someone took over the company, you know, if you got a confirmation no. He passed away a year ago. 
How do you rationalize audio upgrades?
I’m not terribly surprised at some of the responses since many audiophiles seem to be under the impression they only have 5-10% of the way to go before they achieve full Audio Nirvana. First mountain climber: Wow! Isn’t the view spectacular from o...

Subwoofer advice
Whatever subwoofer you choose and however subwoofers you decide on, if you don’t want to turn you room into a giant shaker table experiment, isolate the subwoofer(s) from the front end electronics by placing them on springs. Problem solved! 🤗

Anybody who’s on board the wire directionality choo choo train 🚂 is a genius in my book. 
Interconnect Directionality

Something For The Fuse Guys ...
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.  
Who needs a Preamp??
Good move. I made a similar move 30 years ago. Never look back. Something might be gaining on you!  
Are you buying the right interconnects ?

Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
I have a bunch of pure natural cork bottle stoppers 🍾 that can be sliced to make shims for isolating printed circuit boards, damping banks of capacitors, damping fuse holder, etc. PM me with address and I’ll send a few free of charge. Cork is a na... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
The Mystery Tweak is the best CD damper. Unfortunately I cannot sell it because then it wouldn’t be a secret, would it? 😬 For laser light absorption nothing can touch New Dark Matter. Gentle readers, you would be shocked 😱 what you’re not hearing....
