Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio
@tomic601 @woofhaven1992  JR is an absolute credit to the industry  Yes he is. I've just finished working with JR at Wallytools to set up a MSL Signature Platinum. I'm going to write a post about the experience but based on what I've learned, ... 
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
@helomech  I have to vehemently disagree with your assessment You could have stopped there but nice rant. Hope you feel vindicated now.    
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
Thankfully true artists like Clifford Brown and Miles Davis don't play at 110dB all the time...it would be soooo boring.

Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
Thanks for taking the time to write this up and providing me with confirmation bias about how great my 40.3's are (just kidding, well maybe not) . I disagree that the 40's cannot disappear. It is largely dependent on the recording but when dialed...

Tone arm length
Chiming in just to say I’ve been following the thread and learning, thank you. I’m about to set up my 12” on as I have a new cart coming.    I have some Wally Tools arriving soon.  
Anyone adjust cart set up due to ambient temperature changes?
@pindac Cart is definitely faulty. It went from sounding great to skating across the record. Cantilever was moving laterally, a lot. Likely the suspension is shot. It is about to embark on a journey to Lithuania!  I'll post the resolution and co... 
Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner
Music direct has a 60 day return policy. Pretty low risk. This would be a concern for me "Output Current Ratings: Max Current/Outlet: 15A"  my amp needs a 20A supply and at $10K you would think it would be rated to at least 20A.   
Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...
@ossicle2brain Sound silly maybe but as far as the A8, the thing that most improved it for me was moving it up on a shelf to eye level so I just use the touch screen instead of having to use a phone or tablet. Not silly at all. I found it anno...
