What's your favorite lyric from a song?
Relevant then. More so today: "I read the news today, oh boy"  
TechDAS Reliability vs SME
Note that the TechDas III Premium S has suspension feet. The table is offered with and without suspension feet, although given the choice--I opted for the S version. My second arm on the table is a Kuzma 4 point.  
TechDAS Reliability vs SME
I have had my TechDas III Premium for about a month. Could not be happier with the sound and user interface. Love the vacuum hold down.  
Adjusting Azimuth on VPI Prime Signature Turntable
Do not use the side weights. Use the Counterintuitive.  
Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing
I owned the Sasha series 1s with ARC Ref 150s before my current Alexia 2s with ARC Ref 160 monos. I also had the Sashas in house with the D’Agostino Momentum 250S. I heard them many times at my dealer who often paired them with the Lamm 1.2s. You... 
The Beatles Revolver
@tylermunns  I'm listening to the White album remaster on vinyl right now and just happened to come across your post. I think Giles did a great job as well on the White album. He did an equally great job on Revolver. I like the originals and to m... 
What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”?

Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
I don’t agree with Waters’ positions and viewpoints on many things. However, he can call out American Imperialism and "war crimes" (perhaps an overstatement if you are American but not if you were an Indian when we came in and slaughtered them to ...

Jude-not Julian Lennon
In McCartney's recent 2 volume set called "The Lyrics", he confirms that Hey Jude was inspired by his sympathy for Julian as John was going through a divorce from his mother. Indeed, the song started as "Hey Jules". Heroin is not mentioned in McC... 
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
My post from August 6,2022: "I have purchased vinyl that was cut from digital--like Steven Wilson remasters that are excellent. I’m not against such a purchase. But with MoFi, we were lied to--flat out. The One Steps contain an insert that purpor...

I have purchased vinyl that was cut from digital--like Steven Wilson remasters that are excellent. I’m not against such a purchase. But with MoFi, we were lied to--flat out. The One Steps contain an insert that purports to provide all of the steps... 
Luxman vs Hegal
I stand by my observations above. Hegels are not "clinical". They are very very good amps, in fact, rather excellent. But there is a certain Je ne sais quoi about many Luxman products. Their mid level and reference products simply sound natural an... 
Luxman vs Hegal
My impression from attending audio shows over the years: Hegel-strong, powerful, excellent bass,  Luxman- natural, enchanting, sounds like real life. Luxman room at audio shows for me is a must hear. It is a brand I could buy and live with. Cann...
