| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? My brother's R2R and 4 Quadraflex speakers with 12" woofers. That could fill a room... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts If anyone on either side of this petty insult-fest thinks they are coming out looking better than the other side, think again. There was a real discussion to be had here, Sidetracked and disrupted by maybe 5th grade level ad hominem attacks? Se... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question science fanatics Sheesh. Just listen to yourselves. Without science, you’d be in a cave or a tree, not trying power cables. You may be right that science hasn’t yet discovered why power cables matter. But this anti-science BS is right up there... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question Remember the "Pepsi Challenge" and "New Coke"? That was the product of blind testing. Just as a side comment, I am not as much of a proponent of blind testing as many of the science-side guys. I believe that one might be able to detect and pro... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question Precisely, therefore this: I am more interested in reading data …. And raging in the Internet audio forums is my guess. How old are you? @thyname - if you really wanted to have an adult conversation, you might want to avoid quoting out o... | |

| Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers He looks so friendly in the photo. I suspect it's one of those things where someone is really nice and normal in person but their online persona, being buffered by the ether from actual human interaction, is the opposite. It's too bad becaus... | |
| How to prevent visitors from touching your system Smear your gear with a greasy, foul smelling substance. | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions. | |
| So This Really Is The End.... I very much miss the record store experience even though I have limited need/desire for physical media. The need is for a place to go, a thing to do, that feeds into my interests, Even a record store doesn’t exactly do that anymore, even though t... | |
| A'gon joke... In my observation, moderation is becoming more heavy handed in many forums. I can understand why, since so many threads seem to devolve into the same flame wars of "Can you tell the difference in a double blind study" vs. "your system/ears not re... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? Gear is fun. Music is life. I tend to go through 2-4 year cycles: get into a music genre, then optimize my system for that sound. Then deep dive into genre. Then bored with genre, explore something else, then optimize the system. Repeat. Mu... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch I love analog audio logic applied to not just digital audio, but network stacks and data transmission protocols. My car works a lot better when I feed her sugar cubes and loosen up the bridle too. Edit: Ok that was uncivil. I had a rough day an... |
