On second thought, maybe leave it all to mahgister. 
Does Steely Dan sound bright to you?
I played the four different mastered and remastered versions of Landslide for my wife. She was shocked how much different the last remaster sounds, compared to priors. It depends on which track version you are actually listening to with some o...

Thanks lemonhaze you got me looking around and I came across this fascinating "white paper" type article about how we hear. Does a good job explaining a lot of things people have heard but never quite understood why. http://www.townshendaudio.com/...

Does using XLR cables (double voltage output) mean I can use lower powered amplifiers?
Fascinating. If you wear lifts in your shoes (at twice the gas pedal travel) does that mean you have double the horsepower? 
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!
The space is much greater than 3/16". The true available space is from the shelf it sits on to the actual chassis bottom. Most components are on factory feet that are at least 1/2" high. So it gets tight but you really probably have about half an ...
