What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?
Glubson, apparently I know more than you do. Mystery Solved! šŸ¤— I donā€™t mean that in any derogatory way.Ā  
What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in?
Thereā€™s a perfectly valid reason why the 2003 SACD Hybrid Dark Side of the Moon is the cheapest. Letā€™s see if you can guess why. šŸ¤”http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Pink+floyd&album=Dark+side+of+the+moon

Anyone using Sendust (Fe,Si,Al) to absorb stray EMI?
Obviously the acronym EMI can have more than one meaning, such as electromagnetic induction. Thatā€™s why Sendust is used in inductors and induction motors. Itā€™s a mu metal. Am I repeating myself? But most people take EMI as the acronym for electrom...

I pretty much stopped reading when I came to, ā€œFor the record, I have been in the audio industry from (sic) fifty years as of this September and have a lot of experience and...ā€For, the record, I said my Sony Walkman sounded better than a (stock) ... 
How does wood hardness affect the sound of a TT on a wood TT platform?
Hardness of wood is related to stiffness which is useful in resisting bending forces, I.e., isolating against rotational forces. Hardness is also an important characteristic of the cones the wood board should be resting on. 
Directional cables - what does that really mean?
All of that may be true, itā€™s all been said before, but it actually doesnā€™t explain why the sound is better in one direction vs the other. If resistance was the deciding factor weā€™d all just use large gauge wire. Hel-loo! The only thing a differen...

What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio?
Sorry to report, blind tests arenā€™t all theyā€™re cracked up to be. Lots of reasons. Especially when no differences are heard. Better luck next time around. 
Anyone using Sendust (Fe,Si,Al) to absorb stray EMI?
Quick Study on mu metal (Sendust is a type of mu metal alloy with specific applications, e.g., high power inductors). Mu metal in audio applications is found in wrapping speaker magnets and wrapping transformers. The percentages of metals and the ...
