Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
Stringreen/Taylor514....There is no way a carpenters level can get the same results as a digital gauge. Change the angle of view of the bubble just slightly and the level reading changes. The digitals are accurate to 0.1 of a degree. Impossible wi... 
Why are HD downloads so expensive?
Thanks Neal....I agree.Levy03.....I don't quite agree with the analogy about the Porsche.With one of those you can see there are many reasons it costs more than a Ford. If the Ford performed as well as the Porsche would you be happy paying Porsche... 
Strain gauge vs Zyx 4D/Atmos
Leicachamp.I have had my SG playing for just a few days now but it has already blown me away. (and it's gonna get better!!)Is it for you and your system...who can tell.But with my set up and room it is a thing of wonder.Listen not to the negative ...

@Paul_graham.....Oh my...I laughed myself off the chair :)Does it show that bad?You should see my posts on Macrumors!Bloody funny mate..... 
Revel Salon2 vs Wilson Sasha
I've had my Salon 2's for a month now and as every day goes by I am more amazed at how wonderful they sound.I was able to audition them along side Sashas and a couple of other $20k+ speakers.They all had strengths and weaknesses. Albeit minor. But... 
Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's???
I've had my Ultima 2's for a week now and all I can say is..... wow!I auditioned them originally with McIntosh gear and liked them enough to make the purchase.But getting them home and powered by my EVO202/402e combo was and is a revelation.As hac... 
Azimuth and the Fozgometer
Lewm: Unlike the Foz the Cartright is based around a record and test signals. Plus I'm not sure I understand what size has to do with it ;-)Yes Peter is a unique character in out hobby and deserving of respect. Let's wait and see what he comes up ... 
To SME or not to SME?
Manitunc.Seriously mate. You haven't heard the SME table and your only source of reference is what you have read on line. Hardly objective commenting!"and will likely sound as good or better than the SME"...and you know this how?And as I stated ab... 
To SME or not to SME?
Congrats Mikesmith!Enjoy!(still waiting for my 20/12A) 
Azimuth and the Fozgometer
Tbg. Many thanks for the insight. Yes...had I thought through the meaning then I would have spelt it correctly. How often we say things without being fully conscious of what we are saying.Aloha! 
Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor
Nandric...I think you missed my point ;-)I did say that the Mint was arm/table specific....which it really is...but I guess it is more accurate to describe it as spindle specific.My point about the db was to balance the posts you mentioned that sa... 
Differences between various Quantum devices
Slightly off thread...but what's the deal with PurePower.I have not heard of them before and was just about to buy a Shunyata Hydra V-Ray 2.I see it is a power regenerator rather than a powerline conditioner.So what is better? 
Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor
I use the DB protractor and find it easy to use and very accurate. Plus it is not arm/table specific like the Mint. 
Azimuth and the Fozgometer
I am also going to await the arrival of the Soundsmith Cartright. It does so many more things and apparently it has been designed to account for the inherent differences in cartridge geometry and output.While things like the Fozgometer are spot on...
