What's Your Take on This ?
This was also when (1983-1997) HEA had it’s biggest and most actively productive membership. I was so disappointed when the quest for $$$$ became the driving force instead of the sound that so many of these companies provided. The basic models sou...

Bad recordings Vs Non-playable recordings.Back in the early 90's I traveled around showing reviewers how to tune in recordings. You might be surprised to hear this from me but go back and read about it in the Audiophile rags. Yep, Stereophile, TAS...

Timbernation Platform Problems
Hi StereoWe don't use Maple (with the exception of Tuning Bars sometimes), but I wanted to address the size comment. The more refined the wood platform business gets the more your going to see platforms graded by tone. A lot of times to get the lo... 
Most resolving Speaker

The Method of Tuning
25 years ago, the audio "experts" were telling folks to "kill the room". Of course you can’t really cut off a rooms acoustics. Can you imagine lol, if you some how turned off the room’s acoustics the room itself would collapse. There isn’t a home ... 
High End is Dead?
The new HEA $$$$ market is fading and has been since the mid 90’s. in the last 5 years the decline has been accelerating. That’s not a bad thing, just reality. Those companies that have dealt with the decline successfully have found a nice followi...

Hi GrannyringYour house has plaster walls?If you were my client, based on what I am looking at and hearing from you, I would say speakers on the floor like you have them and not mounted on the wall. I like the area around the speakers and that you...
