Worth pursuing analog sound from digital?
The most critical part of digital playback is ANALOG - the laser reading the data part. AND it’s the part that messes everything up. Ironic, ain’t it? And you can never recover. Boo boo! 😩 
Is soundstaging emblematic of reality?
I’m sure she holds no grudges, your histrionics aside. I didn’t realize it at the time, even though I was in a great many threads on AA and Stereophile forum with May, especially when Michael Green hung out at Stereophile a few years back, going b...

Question, was that compared to the Back Diamond Racing Cones and squares? Because if you still using the BDR Cones under the turntable, ....you know.

May and Peter Belt and I conspired to write the explanation ten years ago. Time flies when yer having fun. If time did not exist man would have to invent it.

elizabethI wish someone would do some study of the changes in sound different shapes of cones create? And what changes in dnesity cause?) I know there are also ebony flattish cones similar to the flatter DH, also the dome shape have similar type i... 
Ceiling fan in listening room?
I’m wondering if fans on the wall behind the speakers facing toward the listener would improve the sound by giving the air molecules a jump start. Kind of like the SteinMusic Harmonizer, activating the air molecules and making the propagation of a...
