Good sound has go with the fabric on the couch and the window treatment. Good sound does not know skin color, religious beliefs, or sexual preferences. Good sound never wears brown shoes with a black belt. I know, I know, I told you I'd said my pi...

If a bear farts in the woods, is the pope really catholic, or did someone actually hear the sound of one hand clapping when the tree fell down? Snatch the pebbles from my hand and you will have a handfull of pebbles. I think, therefore I wish I we... 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
A post yesterday reminded me of another adjective I've never understood - 'vinyl' like. With all the different cartridges and phono preamp variations it can't be tonal, can't be that someone wants clicks, snaps, pops, and tracing noise, can't be t...

To imply that it will take Stereophile as long as "a few years"Ah, Zaikes, you obviously missed the operative preface in the headline: "yet again". Let me further predict that the follow-up issue will see a B&W speaker gracing the cover (AGAIN... 
1st, most memorable recording...
I had a music teacher in grade school...I think this was around 69' - who brought in her copy of "Tommy" by The Who. That and Sgt. Pepper opened up my ears to music, and are probably both the most memorable experiences as far as music. Neither wer...

How do you clean CD/DVDs ?
I've been working on a machine myself, but it's really an exclusive edition with a price-no-object approach. I can finally reveal some of the revolutionary technology as my patents just recently came through. First the machine applies a precise la...

"Best" ....do a search in the forums or the listings...you'll see this one being used ad nauseum. I get 20 hits on "Tubelike" and 300 on "Best" in the forums. "Mint" pulls up 164. Now in the listings I think "Mint" does indeed best "Best". I'd dis... 
How can power cords make a difference?
The chicks all dig the real thick ones. That's all I need to know. Never heard of a VODO though...does it need batteries?Marco 
who surprised and who disappointed
David Byrne is mesmerizing live. At the time I saw him last he was into his Brazilian stuff, which didn't really float my boat. On stage he grabbed the audience and didn't let go, start to finish. I had terrible seats up in the back of the balcony... 
Review: Morrow Audio 300B1 SET Monoblock Tube amp
Didn't you post this already?Evidently it bears repeating: The original post which, interestingly enough was this member's first post, was posted on 6.7.06...just one day before this one. It was promptly followed up by a response from Mr. Morrow. ... 
contradictory communication
Another example, the Vandersteen 3a Sigs have been said to be warm. However, they are flat out to over 22kHZ.Therefore, it has to be another parameter that one is hearing.I truly doubt there are more than two or three people on this forum who can ...
