| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Its true that "analysis paralysis" is a common plague historically, but in software engineering for example, modern Agile or iterative development paradigms address it. Older traditional development paradigms often referred to as "waterfall" ... | |
| Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it? I've picked up and enjoyed a couple Spock's Beard CDs. I think some of those are a natural fit for a Yes fan to try. | |
| Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it? YEs, can't imagine Yes at this point without Chris Squire, but personnel issues have never stopped them before so who knows. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... When in product development, I worked with many technical marketing folks and always got along well with them, especially the ones who also valued integrity and accuracy. The best companies always place top value on that.Also I will add that the c... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... With the engineer, its the fear of criticism. Not sure about that. The best engineers strive for accuracy and avoid making mistakes that will have consequences to someone down the road. Almarg is a good example here. Also having a law background... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes I never thought much of Maxwell House in the past. Has it gotten better or is it just me? | |
| Corner Placement One thing I am pretty sure of if I ever decide to take the plunge and add a SET amp system, which I have almost done many times to-date, I am pretty sure I would now definitely go with a corner placement arrangement of some sort. It seems to have ... | |
| Corner Placement inna the AN setups I've heard had more soundstage depth than I would have thought and did not seem really 2-dimensional either, just not as much as many other good setups. Plus other than that the AN setups at these shows continuously seem to be... | |
| Corner Placement I’m doing the corner placement experiments in a smaller room (12X12) where I find it harder to get soundstage depth. I value soundstage depth but this is not my main listening room so I am willing to make a tradeoff there especially since options ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I was a salesman for a few years early on ( and a half decent one) but a software/systems engineer for the last 30 or so. So I can swing both ways in that sense. I find the same basic tenets that made me a decent saleperson also serve me well as ... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2016 I will say the thing that impressed me most at this show, more so than any single thing I heard, was the passion of so many of the vendors there. So many of these guys seem to really put their heart and sole into realizing their visions and making... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2016 Did not know that. I heard so many really good sounding systems there. It seems to me that attention to integration and setup and personal preferences may each be bigger factors for good sound these days than most any particular product. There a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... i finished going through all the product literature I brought home from CAF. Everyone makes superlative claims to help get their product attention. Why should fuses be any different. Heck I can afford a few of these fuses easier than most anything... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I was at Capital Audiofest last week.No mention of fuses came up but the magnetic wire company that has a lot of fans here had a room.It sounded fine but no better than the others and certainly not best in show for me. I have not seen others in... | |
| Corner Placement I am trying out my Triangle Titus monitors with corner placement for the first time. I like what I am hearing so far. More bass out of those known to be somewhat bass shy speakers. Big soundstage but not necessarily deep which may be a go... |
