What is the air speed velocity of a fully laden swallow? 
Pure analog system with high power
I read your OP and understand your goals and totally on board with them. Which is why I have to say, if you continue with your plans to buy either of those speakers you are shooting yourself in the foot with both hands tied behind your back. You d... 
Basis Super Arm 9
Robert Harley sure seems smitten, and he is the kind of experienced reviewer I have come to trust. Especially when he describes the sound the way he does. I am pretty sure the stabilizing bearing design he thinks nobody ever thought of is just a v...

The string of posts removed were all from one particularly reprehensible individual who went by the charmingly apt name of Johhnyaudiogoon. The goon is gone now, suspended. Goon or troll, this one was more disturbed than usual. He was openly bragg... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
Yes, it is a puzzle how he managed to engineer something that works so well even in spite of the fact that YOU cannot understand why it works so well. One of life's mysteries. 
1973

Your story reminds me of one time bringing home a phono stage for audition. The store only gave me overnight, I wound up being rushed for time and decided to just plug it in on the floor using the factory cord. It was crap. What a joke. How anyone... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Actually dletch2, if you can be bothered to read what you just wrote it clearly says you cannot hear. Others can, but you cannot. So you rely on your "knowledge and experience". Whereas if you could hear you would rely on that. Therefore you canno...

Sinatra-Basie is one of those records where you hear it and all of a sudden it hits you and you know all at once why the guy was Chairman of the Board. He just has this incredible combination of free and easy swing with superb technique and contro... 
Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review:
They transformed mine to the point they transformed the room. Seriously. I was just about ready to give up and look into tube traps or something, when Podiums cleaned up the bass so much there is no longer any point really.    
When did you most enjoy the music?
We all parrot the same crap now - that our systems are transparent and disappear, but do they?Mine does.  But seriously, what you're talking about, "music", we focus on the sound with our systems but music is much more than sound. It comes from t...

Amazing how much depth and palpable presence there is on such an old, and old tech, recording. The Ellington clarinet sounds better than a lot of em I hear today! Thanks!The M One O One Nova power cord (fka Mr Silver) is now running on my Herron V... 
A different view of power cords
Transparent is one of those brands where after hearing a couple awful examples they never even get my consideration. The hyped sound you describe is what I heard even however many years ago it was. How some companies stay in business never once ma...
