High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
@calvinj Absolutely understand your perspective and personal experience. Well matched gear, including cabling, is another key to sonic bliss. It’s so interesting to me how a well chosen cable, in a position or two, can help snap a system into a ...

@mahgister, I certainly see the wisdom and truth of your statement below… “But this truth of mine is not a "good news" for most people ... Because most will never enjoy this fact ...Then it is not an appealing truth ...It is better to believe the...

@mahgister you may disagree, but I stand by my experience and experiences. Also, like you, I have experimented for many years with room treatments and vibration control. Not a newbie at this by a long shot. Some rooms are just fine as is with furn...

I and several fellow audiophiles with good listening skills and systems have spent good money on treating our rooms with all manner of acoustic treatments. In two specific cases folks paid big money for a room acoustics company to come in and prof... 
Update on good Ethernet switch

Ok, for a little more you need to look into the Wolf Von Langa Son speakers. Two way with field coil driven woofers. Goes down to 20-25 hertz and has that voice of one thing in spades. Special speaker. Contact Colin @gestalt as he is the importer ... 
Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade
Thanks for the great reply. I watch all of his videos and have done so for years. I respect him and he knows his stuff. I also mod gear for myself and others for many years now.  I get the fact that costs can get very high with parts.  I have wor... 
Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade
Two questions. Why did Danny decide on using the JFX capacitors? Curious about his reasoning here. Lastly, why did you blackout the values of the capacitors? Not seen that done before on all the crossover pics I have viewed over the decades. The ...

Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
The old dealer loves the product line and no longer carries it for reasons other than the product quality and sound. I will let him comment on it if he would like, but let’s just say he was not treated right.  I still have my A200 and love it.

May I ask how one goes about buying this 812 tube amp? Nothing on the BH site.  Thanks.   
V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated
Vcap Odam is not darker toned compared to the top Duelund caps. I would say they are a tad more alive if anything. Top Duelund copper foil and tinned copper CAST caps have more body and richer tone, while Odams deliver better bass drive and top en...
