Gotham Quadratic Diffusers
Hi Joe hopefully the shipping was less than you expected. Give the diffusers some time as they don’t need a break in but your ears might take a little time to adjust to what they are doing. Are you going to paint them ?  
Gotham Quadratic Diffusers
Hi Ozzy I am a trial and error guy when it comes to room acoustics. I have heard pros and cons about placing diffusers behind planars. GIK Acoustics could provide much better information. Personally ,once you get them dialed in and there are no so... 
Your impression Talking Heads 9/11/23 I Max restoration of the 1984 'Stop Making Sense'?
A great concert that I watched again just recently. If they can make an improved version I would purchase it.  
u-BACCH plugin software for Windows
After extensive listening and playing around with this software I have concluded that it is very music dependent. On some songs or albums you may get holographic sound effects and on others nothing. One of my audiophile buddies recently spent a co... 
When Will We Learn?
I purchased a fairly heavy amp here a number of years ago. It arrived in a single cardboard box with inflatable pillows half of which were deflated. Surprisingly there was no visible physical damage but the amp wouldn’t power up. I contacted the s... 
u-BACCH plugin software for Windows
That is the only review I was able to find. Overall the reviewer did a good job but he couldn’t get the pink noise to work because he wasn’t playing music as required.  
Shunyata Omega Speaker cable and interconnect
@craig Thanks for the detailed write up. I have the Shunyata Comp Sigma V2 speaker cables and they are easily the best I have had in my system. Shunyata are known for their power cables but their interconnects are very good also. Except for their ... 
Best 845 tubes on market as of August 2023
Stick with what you already have. I have the same tubes as you in my Cary 211 FE mono’s and they are very reliable and dead quiet.  
Thumbs up to Cary Audio Service
I have and have had many Cary products over the years and when problems occur their support is always top shelf.  
Shunyata Sigma V2 Speaker Cables .....your sonic impressions in your system(s)
I had a pair of the V1 speaker cables which I really liked . They replaced a pair of Cardas Clear  Beyond which were my favorites until I went to the Shunyata. Not smart enough to leave well enough alone I borrowed a pair of the V2 from the Cable ... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
Thanks for the nice informative write up. I have a lot of tweaks in my system and the only reason I hadn’t tried one was was concern that it might have a negative impact with them. Having said that ,the price is nice so I will give one a try.  
How rare is an audiophile
Yogiboy hit the nail on the head as there are a lot of people who enjoy music but very few who are audiophiles. I have been very fortunate to meet a few most of whom  have become good friends. Nowadays there are so many distractions that for someo... 
Hardly see any Von Schweikert upper end speakers for sale here.
Part of the reason could be that they just don’t sell many of their top tier speakers.   
The best speaker cables you’ve had
Current and best speaker cables I have heard are Shunyata Research Comp Sigma 2. Before that I had a pair of the Sigma 1 and before that Cardas Clear Beyond. Both the Cardas and Sigma 1 were very good but the Sigma 2 were better in my system.   
What is the proper loudness for listening?
I agree with mapman in that I tend to listen in the 85 to 90 dba range.
