| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Rick and Krissy are coming in less than two weeks. For two whole years I have been bragging about having the best system in the universe. Well the known universe anyway. So their expectation bias is set sky high.

| My battle with sibilance. The sound you are referring to is almost certainly on the record, and nothing you can do will ever change that. Compare different copies of the same record and this is one of the differences you will likely find. The improvement you heard is minor... | |

| And My Budget Is... The most captivating speakers I ever heard were Linaeum Model 10 with the one dipole Linaeum tweeter on top. Radio Shack had a cheaper version of this tweeter. The Model 10 had its flaws but captivating 3D imaging was not among them. I have mentio... | |
