Ascend Acoustics speaker upgrades -- anyone try them?
Here is a 2 minute video I made of the upgrade process.

His interviews with Matt Poes and Anthony Grimani are of special interest. Look for those names. Usually, I don't trust grown men with star trek figures as decoration, but I guess we're largely among man-children so it's all good.

Really, who cares? It’s just a dumb hobby mostly related to old guys with more money than sense.  You kiss your momma with that mouth?  
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
I'd like to add another under-appreciated tweak: half and half instead of milk in your coffee. Soundstage gets not only wider but deeper, and any hint of sibilance is completely eliminated.

Pretty safe bet Mikey is sweet as apple pie when you put your hard earned dollars in his pocket, thus becoming a full fledged member of the Tribe. Yep. There's a phrase for that.

@hilde45 do i need to see it ? [the rant video] I don’t know. I tried to sum up things early in this thread. There is an erratic quality to the behavior. On the one hand, making videos which explain and teach about audio -- gear, acoustics, cr... 
PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound
@macg19  I think the OP’s post was at worst over-hyped, or at best over-enthusiastic. There's no doubt that it was. I also agree with you that naysaying without experience is worthless. My point is simply that over-hyping a product which is a...

@curiousjim I stopped watching Mikey years ago. To many rants and not enough real information. You’ll definitely want to watch the recent one where he "baits" people on this forum, calling them out by their handle, and claiming that they post... 
Visit to Mike Lavigne's house
Somehow I'm not getting a good sense of the sound via my computer and crappy headphones, but it's fun to watch speakers playing music.  
Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage
