| Importance of clocking @erik_squires ”This is why TV’s and streaming devices have relatively large buffers. Everything goes into a bucket which it attempts to keep full from one side, and then carefully doled out by a metronome on the other. That’s where the clock matte... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. That is a great question. I got interested enough to read the manual and give it some thought. My conclusion was simple. Call Audio Research and discuss with the technical representative (I forgot his name). The new generation of ARC amps hav... | |

| Should I upgrade my preamp? @mrdecibel My experience with high end audio has been that each significant upgrade I have made of high end main stream audio components has resulted in a great improvement on my system. I agree that it is very helpful to know what sonic charact... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Language is the very foundation of rational thought. With an increasingly abundant and nuanced language surrounding a subject a person is able to perceive and understand more, as well as communicate to others. Specialized language is not designed... | |
| Phone stage with 2 inputs Audio Researce Reference phono stages. For me, I always wanted two so I could hook up my old turntable as well as my primary. I was finally able to do it with my first ARC Ref. It lasted two days. My primary turntable sounded so much better th... | |

| Audiophilism is a hobby Rhythm and pace is an overall characteristic of reproduced music. As I eluded to above it is the characteristic(s) that convey the connection to the pace / beat, the emotional content of the music. The term became very popular in the 1990’s becaus... | |
| Phono Stage in inputs for 2 tonearms Audio Research Reference 3SE or earlier. I highly recommend the brand. One of the components that has made them main stream high end… phono stages and preamps. | |
| Where to place my two channel in new room? Yes room dimensions and your other equipment and musical preferences. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Very nice system. When I put Hurricanes on my system, I was shocked. I had spent a year with Cardas, WireWorld, Transparent, and a couple others and each would either be vailed or tip the tonal balance one way or another. Definitely, within t... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby I guess it depends on your definition. For me, audiophiles passionately pursue the accurate wholistic reproduction of the music. As opposed to high end audio enthusiasts. My definition leaves a very large percentage of folks out that are pursuing ... | |
