I think John just likes to keep to simple formulas that can work for most, but some are more finicky or have very refined goals. It can work either way, but I think John like any business perso... | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs I've heard Nordost High End wires once that I know of in a 6 digit tube amp dealer system with Magico Mini 2 speakers. It was very good sound in a smaller room with the Magicos, especially for classical music. but pop/rock genre left me somewhat c... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? John has even chimed in on this thread in the past if you go back a bit. Been awhile though.He is a musician as well as an EE though, I believe. They say musicians respond to music differently than others due to extensive exposure to music, and hi... | |

| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs FOr me, so far, the DNM Reson ICs are the ones I like to work with in general, and use exclusively in my main rig currently.These cost me generally between $100-$200 from a Canadian dealer that used to be on Ebay. They are hard to come by in the U... | |

I do believe in the concept of Chi force though so I find anything related to that to be of interest usually. I suppose the concepts at the core of Feng Shui have wide ap... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Geof,How does your color based audio "Feng Shui" as it were work?Feng Shui has been around a long time and has many followers. I'm willing to listen if you are willing to explain. | |
