Here's Linkwitz's quick overview of power response, which stated briefly is smooth, consistent output of all frequencies at different volumes.  http://linkwitzlab.com/speakers.htmThe best way to achieve this is usually with active crossovers and s...

Power cord replacement suggestions
My experience has been that it depends to some degree on your components.  If you have a tube preamp, a good cord makes a significant difference. My Joule Electra preamps have always liked the old school ribbon style (Electraglide et. al.)  Next w... 
High Quality Universal Player??
I bought a Lexicon RT20. It was like 28 pounds; quite the beast.  But the transport was really heavy and clunky; it died within a few months and the replacements and labor meant another $400.  Another boat anchor.  I would stay away from those and... 
Burn in time for a new CD transport?
@bcowen,Thanks much. I have a W4S Dac2DSD that benefited from a simple fuse change (to a Furutech if I recall-its been a couple years now). "Back in the day," transport modders would at a minimum damp the case (and maybe the drawer mechanism)- i.e...

To reclock or not to reclock
Quick [dumb] question. I have a WFS Dac2DSD with Femto clock upgrade.And I just purchased a Cambridge CXC transport to replace my dead Pioneer PD65.I've been out of audio for a few years; would the ifi purifier be helpful between the transport and... 
Lars had a stroke.
Wow. Getting to be a pretty common story.I think stroke is THE major health concern for men in our 50s. Recently my doctor said "your blood pressure is 165/90. You need to get it down." He said would you like to have a stroke on your left side, or... 
Don't know what's wong with me
Repent therefore, and provide us more information in your next confession, informations sufficient such that we can recommend appropriate penance thereto.Go in peace, and listen therefore unto Metallica and Black Sabbath at significant volumes on ... 
"Audiophile" fuses. A comparison.
HiFi Tuning in my MF Tri-Vista integrated amp (2 amp channels and one preamp) - slight difference.Furutech rhodium in my Wyred4Sound Dac - more noticeable difference. 
Wife stepping on speaker wire
Wow. Irreconcilable differences, no question.If the judge is an audiophile, he might even consider that as moral turpitude, gross negligence, or intentional infliction of emotional distress. 
DIY AC Cable advice
I have built a cord using Acrolink 7 nines copper and Oyaide C-004 and P-004 connectors which I think sounds outstanding on my W4S Dac 2 DSD. Very dynamic, smooth, and detailed all at the same time. It replaced several 'trys', some of which were a...
