Physics of downward firing woofers
Ralph, did you remove the carpet to compare or move everything to identical room ? 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
$50k would not be enough for speakers and monoblocks, not sure about turntable, maybe. 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
No, $7000 cable will not bring sonic bliss, $10k and more has a slight chance. 
Why do turntables sound different?
That's what I said - no turntable sounds right, even worse by definition they cannot.

I wonder what you call super high end? 
Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them?
I am not going to sell my Purist Neptune, no way, unless Tchernov is better in all aspects, I simply need one more pair of RCAs for another source. 
What exactly is colored sound?
Followers of the 'school of dreamers' will argue that it doesn't matter how it sounded when it was recorded, they want it to sound the way they like most. The concept of coloration will have a completely different meaning to them. 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
Dealers could have at least a few set-ups for auditioning.Not my problem, though. When and if I am ready to pay thousands  of dollars for a cartridge, I'll make couple of phone calls and get precise advice. You got to have priviledges and connecti... 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
I see. You support the system as it is and then complain that it’s no good. Who in fact makes it possible to thrive? Stop buying this multikilobuck $hit without listening. In one year they will beg you to listen, personally deliver it to you and w... 
Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them?
Well, sounds good to me too, though I have no idea what it means. 
Why do turntables sound different?
Right. This is a very scientific approach - let the others do the job and steal the design. Some would argue, though, that the one closest to tape sound would be the one to copy. Continuum, I don't know, I heard that that's Technics not Walker. 
Tchernov cables. Anyone knows anything about them?
I might try their Classic XS MKII or Reference MKII interconnects. Could be interesting to compare to Purist. 
Why do turntables sound different?
I am not looking at it from the right/wrong perspective. I simply wanted to initiate a serious discussion. If the mass of the platter is not determined by calculations and listening than it appears to be BS approach. Of course, it's all connected ... 
Why do turntables sound different?
Now, how exactly do the table designers calculate the mass of the platter ? Or they don't but just listen ? 
Speaker cable length with monoblock amps?
$15k/$22.5k cables/amps proportion is not what I had in mind.In any case, as I suggested above, one must be able to tell the difference between 2' and longer cables. And the difference should be real not something bordering non-existant. It will a...
