You guys can back to sleep, now. An obvious case of snarkolepsy. Sleepwalking and still snarky. šŸ˜“ 
Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
Addendum to previous post on Soundstage 3 dimensions. Not only is the soundstage on mediocre systems not three dimension, the dimensions are not recreated as they were recorded. The soundstage evolution as one progressive improves the system, incl...

Harvey ā€œThe Snakeā€ Mandel from early Canned Heat plays on Memory Hotel and Hot Stuff on Black and Blue. I know what some of you are thinking, ā€œYou mean one of the judges on Americaā€™s got Talent?ā€
