| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. Creativity is a great thing to have. It becomes trickier when we get carried away by our creativity and do not notice that we have gone too far into some not-so-healthy state of mind. Others usually notice, though.Figuring where the line between t... | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? Some months ago, there was a thread about hard times Soundsmith has been through because of the Coronavirus epidemics (most likely). Mr. Lederman chimed in himself, or maybe he even started a thread but I am not certain now.Seeing so many positive... | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? Machina Dynamica. Yes, Geoff Kait.I have never bought from there, but I have seen only praises about Machina Dynamica's professionalism and accomodating customers. I am not saying anything about its products, but despite the persona that was proje... | |

| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound "Here’s a simple truth about bias and placebo effect: Neither will cure cancer. No blind test is needed to prove that."That is a bit too profound for Sunday morning. | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound "Not every opinion is the result of bias."I'd go with that, but carefully.Now, when one involves word "Stradivari" in the non-biased equation about violins, I would be double careful. | |
| Where to locate Equipment? "Since my turntable has a vacuum pump, I also put that in the basement below the cabinet."You go down to the basement to change the side of the record? Audiophile of the year! | |
