Got $1000...how should I spend it?
Compact and under a thousand? Tvad is right - dump the girlfriend. Speakers come and speakers go but memories of $1k spent on drugs and hookers will stay forever. 
AudioQuest DBS Field
Paulsax - exactly. I'm leaving it to others as well. It would be a great arrogance on my part to say that it cannot work because I cannot understand it. It wouldn't be right for me to say that AQ doesn't know what they doing (or cheat people) beca... 
AudioQuest DBS Field
Paulsax - depolarization into random state is called relaxation. Dependent on material it can take from relatively short time to a year. Some materials might be permanently polarized. They are called electrets. Electrets can be natural, like quart... 
AudioQuest DBS Field
Paulsax - Maybe not physical changes in dielectric but forming and orienting dipoles in presence of electric field. 
Sennheiser HD650 Headphone Amp
I used HD580 (same drivers) with Benchmark DAC1. More money but great sound. It can also serve as a preamp or portable unit for travel with laptop. 
best towers for $3000 ?
I had Paradigm Studio/60 v2 before. Replaced it with $3000 dealer demo of Hyperion HPS-938 - amazing speaker. You can find link to reviews on their website as well as pictures.hyperionsound.com It got whole bunch of awards - many component of the ... 
Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.
"Otherwise, Google "Shakti Stone patent" for the details"I did. Look what I found:Some users report receiving threatening transmissions from the star system Alpha Proxima when Shakti's "The Stone" is used in conjunction with the Shakti "On-lines".... 
Bob Olhsson....now THAT'S an interesting website
It sounds very interesting - thank you Soniqmike for the link.

What is wrong with negative feedback?
Unsound - I remember Ar_t posting on the subject of switching amps. I don't know about TacT now. At the time I bough my Icepower based amp I read opinions on Icepower and Hypex. Both configurations (Full Bridge vs Half Bridge) have good implementa... 
What is wrong with negative feedback?
Unsound - Feedback in Icepower amps is called Multivariable because it consists of two feedbacks controling voltage and time.I suspect that feedback in class D is less evil for few reasons: Amp cannot become unstable (oscillate) since it is alread... 
What is wrong with negative feedback?
"These amps are high damping factor which matches well to the OHMs, so I suspect there is NF applied, but not sure"Mapman - Not only NFB is applied but it is mulitiple (two) called Mulivariable Enhanced Cascade Control. It is in the Karsten Nielse... 
Cartridge Output
Perceived loudness can be calculated ask^(1/3.5) where k is a ratio of power (or squares of voltage)in your case (0.5^2/0.3^2)^(1/3.5) =1.340.5mV will be 34% louder than 0.3mVAnother typical example 200W amp will be louder than 100W amp by (200W/1... 
What is wrong with negative feedback?
I'm not sure if DF>100 makes much sense since inductor in series with the woofer has resistance in order of 0.08ohm.8/0.08=100
