asvjerry,What do you call a person who rarely buys.....Things? First, let us define ’Things’, Friend Eric. ( No, I’m not trying to be snotty...just Serious. *S*It was my mistake not to write a thorough explanation, but under "things" I was referri...

You guys are funny. 
How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room?
audiozenology,Thanks, I completely forgot about saccades as a term.Given the magnitude of the flickering light presence everywhere, it is interesting that not many articles about its effects can be easily obtained on PubMed. It may be that more of...

What do you call a person who rarely buys things, keeps them for a long time, mostly ends up with relatively inexpensive items, but never asks about the price and does not take price into equation when deciding about the purchase? Frugal? Iconocla...

"House stereo never sounded so good, truck stereo never sounded so good, and tv picture never looked so good."Any update about orange juice? 
OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system.
"...a 15 year old integrated amp hopefully in new condition for $775. What a great country! A new Krell integrated runs $7,000."Seems like an 15-year-old amplifier for $7775. Nothing wrong with a little Botox every now and then. I doubt those new ...

geoffkait,>>>>I’ll give it a shot. What do you do, pour it on the amplifier?Reminder, you do not have an amplifier. Do not pour it on someone else's.

jerrybj,That is some sophisticated portable set-up. However, were Sennheiser HD25 for real portable use and Grado for home? Without ever hearing any of the things you mention, Sennheisers seem to be in a much different/lower category, if one goes ...
