| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. A 21st century schizoid man face mask that was shipped from China to the wrong state. | |
| Brainstorm Thursday. Are we approaching the Audiophile Singularity? Yup soon it will be like HD TVs. Except some will find all the detail and contrast irritating. Then digital signal processing options will take care of that as well. A little blur here, some softness there, some extra nice harmonics or contrast/dy... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? Everything makes a difference. It’s just a matter of how much and if it matters or not. Some things matter way way less than others.

Does anybody really listen to pure jazz with bad sound quality?Thing is these days the most interesting music to me is that which cross or defy traditional genres, including traditional "Jazz", which alone is very wide and varied in styles to the ... | |
| How loud are you typically listening? I very seldom will ever peak over 90. It's bad for your hearing. | |

| Gershman Studio 2 I heard the monitors once and recall them being awesome. | |
| I Have Airborne Feedback And Never Realized It...Till Now I have speakers in unfinished area with bare concrete floor. That has issues. But where my good gear is in finished area with thin dense carpet and padding that works best. Upstairs on suspended plywood floor different issues. These are the facts.... |
