My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
Why, are they going out of business? 😛 
Does anybody change their speaker placement with different types of music and bands?
As fate would have it most speakers are placed way too far apart and toed in way too much. The best strategy is start with four feet apart and slowly move the speakers farther apart, preferably using ye olde XLO speaker placement track so you can ... 
Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane
I disagree with Elizabeth. There is no such thing as a futile discussion, there’s always some information to be gleaned from any discussion of wires and cables. In fact, this particular discussion raises some new and interesting points.  
System synergies: Chaotic or predictable?
A moderately clever person using my Super Stiff Springs for speakers can accomplish the same thing as the rather expensive competition for 1/10 the cost. Talk amongst yourselves. Smoke if ya got em. And I can isolate the entire system with a combo... 
Bits bits bits from Upscale Audio
“Bits are bits” happens to be the same argument many folks use to “prove” that the sound of CDs cannot be changed by CD fluids, or by color markers like the Green Pen or Purple Pen, by using holographic foils on the CD, by isolating the CD player,...

speaker/stand, couple or isolate?
In years gone by, Tekna Sonic dampers for speaker cabinets and subwoofers effectively dissipated cabinet vibrations - with no side effects. Sadly they went belly up 🔝many years ago. The good gnus 🐂 🐂 is that isolating speakers accomplishes the sam...

Enid Lumley’s cable tunnels. Pine 2x4s treated with anti static agent like hydrogenated vegetable oil, three 2x4s form each tunnel. The cable is suspended from the top 2x4 using eye hooks, every foot or so, and thread. Cannot beat with stick.

Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution. Morphic resonance is a theory; like any the...
