| Wow, $10k+ cables Attacking others asking questions does nothing to support the case for any particular wire expensive or otherwise. Fact is it hurts it if anything. If one thinks a particular product is worth it just state the case. Avoid generalizations. The ... | |
| Does Michael Green Audio are out of business ? I It appears he “tuned” himself out for now. | |
| Wow, $10k+ cables Wires and accessories has always been the high profit items in hifi. That $20 roll of 12 gauge speaker wire you used to buy at radio shack was mostly all profit. Very little on electronics. So figure it out. | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Oh and hifi satisfaction is a very personal thing. Never pay retail on expensive items without some kind of verified money back satisfaction guarantee. There should be a trial period within which you can return for money back. | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Understand that all recordings sound different. They run the gamut and sound they way the producers intended them to not the way you want them to or think they should. So no hifi will make them all sound the way you think they should. If you can h... | |

| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat Hmm I’ll go out on a limb and assert the most acclaimed philosophers probably are served well by a fair dose of humility. They run the risk of preaching to a vacuum if their lack of humility means nobody wants to listen to them.Of course they may ... | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat Yes I know but humility is a virtue that can serve everyone though many may not choose to leverage it, especially those very driven and successful.I come from Amish country and very humble beginnings so I may have a somewhat distorted perspective ... | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat You haven't dealt with a lot of really smart driven people have you? :-) They tend to display their "humility" by plowing through whatever is in their way to achieve success. True sometimes but not always but has more to do with being "driven... | |

| Audiogon Is Still Relevent...Don't Listen to the Naysayers. Top things I’ve learned on Audiogon:1) I needed to upgrade my old Pre-amp. Someone here I trusted told me so.2) discovered Class D amps3) learned a lot about tube gear from many. A lot from Atmasphere and Almarg in particular.4) dispersion pattern... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. At what point is a system/QS good enough? If tinkering is fun, I guess it doesn’t matter. I suppose the answer is its all a personal thing. Whatever turns one on.Tinkering is fun. That said, not all decisions are created equal. The key is to make ... | |
| Mickey Mouse Ears Ok now that the topic has been broached it’s worth discussing what is happening there when one clasps their hands behind their ears. Anybody not hear a difference? It’s a rare tweak anyone can easily try anytime while listening. Need to try som... | |
