Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy?
@noromance   I forgot to thank you for your post.  I really appreciate it as I will know to be wary of her LP releases.  It would be interesting if there was a European released LP that we could compare to what you are hearing. 
Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy?
@noromance   I read your post above just before receiving "My One and Only Thrill" CD today.  I note that your comments refer to the LP of that release.  Specifically, I bought the European release which includes a second CD of "Live in Paris".  T... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@perfectpathtech  It would obviously be foolhardy for you to reveal all that has gone into the R&D of the E-Mat.  I would hope most of the sharp minded folks here get that.  Being a strongly dominant left-brainer, I like to know as much as pos... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@amg56  re: your 5:09 post   Very well said.  It seems that sometimes those who have a vested interest in the topic, in this case the promoters of the E Mat, do express emotional reactions to those who are skeptical or more importantly as you ment... 
Need cable to soften brightness just a little?
@roberjermanBased on your post above, we may be misunderstanding one another.  When you said "Component and wire burn-in is just a delusion (no scientific or engineering basis). Mechanical things (speakers) can benefit from some use - electronics,... 
Need cable to soften brightness just a little?
@dill   You may be right about Rule #1!    I hope roberjerman is kidding about not hearing a difference as gear burns in.  If not, that's just sad.☹️ 
Need cable to soften brightness just a little?
@roberjerman😦You don't believe in burn in for cables and electronics?  WOW.  It must have been a rough 42 years!😧

@labtec  Couldn't agree more about the modified McCormack amps.  I recently had a new driver board, wiring and jacks installed by Steve and Co. The sonic performance far exceeds the price for the upgrade. Regarding your comments about listening to...

@dill   Good Call!👍 
Need cable to soften brightness just a little?
OP - Experience by most 'philes suggests that your equipment will definitely benefit from a good burn-in.  "Brightness or Brittleness" is often what you might expect from gear that has been long dormant 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@oregonpapa @grannyring   Gotcha!  I wasn't expecting details as it would not be to Tim's benefit to make them public here.  I was just looking for a basic premise that the Mat's design is based on.  Thanks!

It's all good "Wolf".  Our Post-Modern world embraces the fluidity of facts.  Yippee!🧐 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@grannyring  You said "2) you don’t understand the technology and what’s at play here".  Boy are you ever right!  I've tried to follow the "Mat" threads here but do not recall anyone discussing the "technology" at work.  If you have such informati... 
Best audio companies and dealers
I can't believe I left out...Clear Day Audio - Paul Laudati, the sole proprietor and cable maker for Clear Day, is as nice a guy as I have ever talked with in this hobby.  The quality that he is offering for the asking price is practically absurd.... 
Preamp Advice Needed - Gryphon Amp - Currently ARC Ref5se
@philipwu  Good for you!  The Backerts are the finest of gentlemen.  I would bet, based on how great my extensively modified cj line stage sounds, that their proprietary gear must be really something!🎼
