Component isolation
Kind of a fun thread for me, cause while posts are going up I am also on my split screen walking people through tuning their components in real time.mg 
Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
Hi tostadosunidosRecordings are actually 360degrees. When you place the speakers in front of you that's what gives you the frontal stage. 2 speakers can easily give you the 360 sound, it's the room you're hearing keep in mind.mg 
Component isolation
bdp24"Components should simply reproduce the sound of instruments (and voices) contained in recordings, having or adding no sound of their own."Wouldn’t that be nice! Or our ears, or our rooms, or our brains, or our locations, or our planet on it’... 
Component isolation
Hi Terry9you said"Michael, you say that," ... when you dampen vibrations you’re also dampening part of the audio signal." In my system, parasitic resonances (all resonances are a form of vibration) such as those excited in the tonearm, are not par... 
Component isolation
Hi millercarbon, thanks!When I got into the HEA part of this industry I did so with some good advice from the guys who I worked with in the studios and on the road. I was known among some for coming in, doing my thing and quietly staying off to th... 
Talk but not walk?
I’ve been doing some listening evaluating over the past few weeks so didn’t visited here. When I came back it was an interesting thing that I noticed. The ego posturing hadn’t changed a bit. The topics were slightly different but I noticed the per... 
Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen!
Thank you Mods! 
Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers)
Hi GeorgeI'm not a fan of multi input devices period for purist listening, they're noisy. The amplifiers I have listened to using multi-inputs and the same amplifier with the inputs removed (except for one input), the single input sound far more d... 
Component isolation
Hi zavatoAll audio parts are moving. Audio itself is motion as it interacts with the four fundamental forces. This why I like to say vibratory tuning instead of isolation. On this forum you’re probably going to see 4 camps.1) vibratory tuning2) sp... 
How many brands use own drivers?
I do my own driver voicing (no one else has the patience I'm told). I use to use slightly modified Scanspeak and Vifa units but discovered that finding or creating drivers less restrained and making my own wood compounds give me more of the tone I...

Hi ClarinetInput cross talk is one reason. Class D is a different animal as compared to A/B and A. Muti-inputs corrupt the signal to a degree and this is more noticeable with Class D because of it's purist design. mg 
Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen!
Hi IvanThe low mass train is certainly coming our way. Smaller transformers, smaller magnet sizes on drivers, smaller connectors and a host of many other "variable" products allowing less distortion and larger dynamic ranges. Another big change he...

Thank God we have ears! And thank God we have the free will to explore for ourselves!The lifestyle of exploring music reproduction is a dream come true for the audiophile at whatever level we choose to get involved. The different camps of the comm...

Yep, Agon is slowly turning the corner, sometimes kicking and screaming the whole way, but still in motion toward sticking that toe in the water. That is at least so with the active posters. The behind the scenes changes are happening much faster ... 
Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?
Hi Mike, love "let it bleed"!I wouldn't put too much stock in a dealer system that obviously wasn't in tune to the recording. Let It Bleed is a great recording and I hope you get to hear it in all of it's glory soon. It's quite the experience. mg
