Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
Mrtennis,The phrase 'sensitivity threshold' comes to mind.Some of us are 'tuned in' to exceedingly small incremental changes in pitch and volume--others not. Sort of like friend who's wife can 'remember colors'...she can see a paint chip of a colo...

Best bourbon?
Pops,Having grown up in Kentucky, I had always heard that--up to and including a quote from a movie which I've forgotten, however, you're right--I'm wrong. Checking just now, figures show that all is NOT made in Kentucky--I thought that, as it ema... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Bander,Remember that its a recurring theme...background so it won't jump out at you--however...for whatever reason, it really, really hit me hard that melody.I do hope you enjoy it as much as I did--both the music and the movie.Good listening and ...

Greeni,You make a really interesting point-- which is no doubt true.The 'measurable'(I'm paraphrasing my own thoughts as to your meaning here, how's that for a stretch?)is always preferable in terms of testing, to the obvious.You said, and I agree... 
Most achingly-beautiful music

What does one purchase after owning horns?
Duke,You are absolutely correct.The internet creates a sense of, or rather actions of 'false bravatto'. Things that nobody would say in person, they'll write to another person confidently, from the safety of their own home.Lots of bullies created ...

Most Honest Audio Magazine?
A tale of woe and deception...Back in 2005/2006 I was in negotiations with Daniel Khessin who was the DK of DK Designs. As I was starting LSA Loudspeakers, I knew that having a 'hook' or 'entry' into dealers and distributors would help lower the '...

Herman,THAT is a really, really great album.Mundell Lowe, Sarah Vaughn, Mel Tormé, Gerry Mulligan, Shelly Mann and others...my memory just quit.To anyone who hasn't heard Paradise Café 2:00AM, by Barry--it's a real treat. I recently got a friend t...
