| How I tamed digital glare. There is no simple answer. There are a great many reasons why someone hears glare, or thinks the sound is too hot, or too grainy, or too lean, or lacks air or sweetness. I’ve already given my top 2 reasons nobody ever heard of - the inherent vibra... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? Isolation of speakers eliminates the variable of what kind of floor it is. If thy eye 👁 offend thee pluck it out! It could be a trampoline floor, it could be a cement floor, it could be a suspended floor on the tenth floor. And higher floors are m... | |

| The Physics of Electricity Let’s look at the first electricity article published on the PS Audio website more closely. Here are two excerpts (in quotes) along with my comments.“Also as we saw, the “signal” moves down the wire’s outer circumference, and not inthe wire. There... | |
| How I tamed digital glare. Ironically Green Pens are marginally effective due to the fact that green absorbs visible red light whereas the CD laser light is mostly invisible infrared light and appears red only as a safety feature. | |
| The Physics of Electricity That’s not even a good bluff. | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? You would be light years ahead using bungee cords to suspend the speakers. And it would be much easier to implement. | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? Speaking of leading people astray, BDR cones suck, dude. Well, maybe not compared to nothing. | |
| The Physics of Electricity Not sure I would attach myself to Sue Kraft’s Star ⭐️ but of course that’s up to you. I introduced Sue Kraft to Romy the cat. Talk about a cat fight. 🙀So, anyway I found four big errors in the Belden engineer’s article of how electricity works tha... | |

| Barometric pressure, temperature, moon phase? The trend is not (rpt not) your friend as warmer temps produce more rain, more low pressure systems, more wind, more wave action on the shore, more flooding - none of which are good for the sound. Not to mention your chances of getting eaten by a ... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? We now have a proper way to isolate speakers, I.e., mass-on-spring. Isolating them kills many birds with one stone. It prevents mechanical feedback. It isolates the speaker and internal wiring and crossover from seismic type vibration. It reduces ... | |
| Rare find Blowtorch Audio Preamp Hard to believe it was 14 years ago. RIP. At least he got to hear the Intelligent Chip in Vegas that year 2005, which I demo’d for him and Curl. 🤗 | |
