AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
With right around 6k-15k used well and covering the whole system, a person should easily be able to blow away an audio trade show presentation. It's all about the method of listening used. Michael Greenwww.michaelgreenaudio.net

60’s-80’s HEA was very much in the mainstream. The market was progressively balance top to entry level. Marantz, Mac, Pioneer, Technics, AR, Advent, Hitachi, JVC, Klipsch, Altec Lansing, Quad and several hundred other brands, all being part of a u... 
High End is Dead?
Yep I believe we were part of the greatest HEA generation, and what fun it was! The camaraderie was genuine. I remember Frank Doris took me over to Harry’s place (early 90’s) and set me loose. The place had all my acoustical treatment and the rack...

The Method of Tuning
Hi AdrianLet me know if I can be of help. I’ve got a few rooms on the drawing board for this summer, but there’s always room for more.One thing to keep in mind while looking at "The MGA Way" is that I don’t dampen the sound but restore it. When I ... 
What's Your Take on This ?
Some great amps are being mentioned on this thread. I still pick up some of these to tune with. On the B&K ST140, if you were lucky enough to get Steve’s design of the amp (first 6 months of production) you will see why people said it was one ...

Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?

The Method of Tuning
Hi MikeI just watched Mark’s video and my take away was somewhat different from yours, but that’s ok. From what I saw him saying, red book CD has more than enough info to tune. The other comment I would make about Mark’s video is he doesn’t tune h...
