I am fond of This One. 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
"A Tab in the Ocean" by Nektar.

TBG, No doubt it is "different" in concept and execution. A different approach has potential to yield different results. Reminds me of Walsh drivers in that regard. Or the DNM ICs that I like. OR the Pangea power cords that I use that are less rad... 
Getting phantom image perfectly centered
yes good point that ears could be part of the problem. An ear cleaning kit is a very cost effective tweak on occasion. 👂👂 
Getting phantom image perfectly centered
Whatever works. Every room is different. Not every setup will have symmetrical acoustics so there is no rule that says your speaker placement must be symmetrical either. Also all speakers have different dispersion patterns at various frequencies. ...

The window to the left and sound reflections from that almost certainly has to be a factor resulting n more reflected sound energy to teh left rather than right.Do you hear a difference if the shade is up or down?

FWIW, according to Wikipedia conductivity chart, I read electrical conductivity of Nickel, the main metal element in Mu-MEtal, to be about 1/4 that of copper or silver. The second largest metallic component, Iron, has even lower electrical conduct...

HAs anyone ever measured the electrical properties of the HF wires?In that it uses a radically different approach using mu metal like conductor and magnets I would expect a unique audible sound signature with HF wires that go directly in the signa... 
Ohm speakers are performing LIVE: on Feb. 27 2015
I read about this. Something a little different that is very cool in concept! Pressure will be on the sound system to not bring down the live performers I would think. Would love to hear this. Maybe someone in NYC area will attend and report back ... 
What's your latest album purchase?
"Swing swing swing" by Keeley Smith and "jazz in the afternoon". 
Integrated to go with KEF LS50

I have all Sophie millman CDs. She is a very absorbing singer and yes her phrasing is sublime. 👍👍

I'm wondering if it could be something as simple as a tube issue. At this point probably best to have someone with the right equipment check it out. If the tech can determine or if an can specify I would wonder again about the output impedance of ...
