What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
Not sure what exactly are the parameters and numbers but, for example, Silversmith says that their Fidelium speaker cables are 3 times the performance of his v pricy cables at one tenth the price.Think it has to do with amount of signal transferred. 
What speaker has the best tweeter?

WAF is indeed an important and valid term.She has gone to great lengths to make our home lovely and livable.Happy wife, happy life.Even if I wanted to bring in Tekton speakers, she would never stand for them. For example…

Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System
You can do without a center channel but HT is carefully developed to have dialog specifically coming from a center. Because the frequencies sent to the center channel are relatively easy to produce so you can go with a very different design of spe...

Best preamp with built in phono stage?
Hi Mike,I am humbled by your system. And by looking into your years of efforts I am more appreciative of what I have put together.Probably 1/10th or less than your investment, I have reached the point of also being swept away.Two components that m... 
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
A brand new result of the unique performance of the AGDs is that every record in my collection is now highly listenable, to say the least. Regardless of recording quality, the AGDs bring out the essential beauty. Quite a bargain for a whole new LP... 
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
@earlflynn My current Class D amp is the AGD Audion.There are about a half dozen+ Forum members all saying the same thing… they are uniquely superb. 
Listening to digital and analog
