Audio Companies with Integrity??
The full post: MC, let me start by saying there are a number of things where we do not have common ground. This is not one of them. Everything you said is spot on.I know. People have come up to me, sometimes years later, only to admit they have... 
A full range speaker?
millercarbon. Like you, I do think that inaudible upper frequencies matter; however, I have a hypothetical question: Is it possible that we do not necessarily know that our brains perceive this, and could these frequencies be used for direct... 
Nicks or McVie.....
Linda Ronstadt, for sure.  
Anyone own Silverline Prelude Plus speakers in the Seattle area?
$2k is Enzo/Impact Monitor level. https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/mid-towers/enzo-2-7/#color Either one is a lot more speaker for the money. You can probably find someone with those in the Seattle area on the FB Tekton Owner's... 
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
So, bring it on -- We on the professional side of things (I am a mastering engineer) prefer components that deliver what's there. I have always used 10 gauge oxygen-free stranded cable of good manufacture, kept to reasonable lengths. There are... 
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
That sounds nothing like me. Companies don't charge, they ask. We decide to pay, or not. The transaction being between two freely consenting traders there is nothing stupid about it. Each thinks they got a good deal- or there would be no deal in t...

Analog Upgrade - Where to start?
 I am looking to introduce more dynamic sound, detail (without edge) and musicality. Put the turntable on a Townshend Platform, with Synergistic PHT Green and Black on the cartridge and ECT on the motor pod.  Put your speakers on Townshend Podium... 
Help! New TT skipping badly....
With springs it is essential to tune in order to match the load to the springs. If they are too stiff they won't isolate much, and that may be what is going on here. Looking at what you've got to play with, I would try springs under the 3" thick b... 
Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
Frank- That calls for a toast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxC-ynRZoDg 
My Apologies to Miller Carbon
Good one. How can I measure up to anyone now after such a love as this? 
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
Don’t be silly. Everyone knows its an unladen swallow. The only question is African or European?    https://youtu.be/0D7hFHfLEyk?t=165 
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
To who? Those of us who know have nothing to prove. The onus is not on us to teach, but on you to learn.   
Best Sounding Speaker Cables?
I have found ribbon cables to be a game changer--easily the equivalent of upgrading my speakers, and I already had very decent cables. Ribbons are the wire equivalent of springs. They can be done at different levels but the basic technology is so ... 
What is the most important component to consider while building a new system?
There is a solution even to this. But I can't decide if the most component is the bowl, the water pipe, or the green bud?
