Even as great as the 911 is, there have over the years been a few times Porsche really hit a home run. Not necessarily the fastest, but the best combination of speed, handling and comfort that combine for indescribably fun factor. The first was th...

Anyone sells a 911 to buy a Camry is beyond help. I don’t care how old you are. As Jerry Seinfeld says, "This is a dead man’s car." It is a bit much to say you should be buried in it. But only a bit. I got my first 911 30 years ago and recently to... 
Long term audiophile seeks room acoustic experience...,
Here are a few tried and true steps you can take to figure this out.  Sit in your listening spot. Clap your hands. Listen closely to the echo. Does it decay nice and smooth and uniform? Or do you hear a flutter? If the sound trails off nice and sm...

MDS. It's a thing. 
Interesting 2x2 grid to describe what a component sounds like ... do you agree
This chart indicates a very primitive and simplistic understanding. I suspect however that even as our technology advances our understanding of it will always lag behind.  https://youtu.be/9463hBWy0ig?t=28 
Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice
What you want is one line that runs direct from the panel to your system outlet in the room. Use the largest gauge wire you can, which with an electrician means 10ga on a 20A line. Buy a Synergistic Research Orange outlet for him to install in pla...

duckworp-I will say, as an F1 speaker cable owner, MC is spot on. I demoed a few different wires and had settled on High Fidelity Cables CT1-E which were considerably better than any of the others, so clear, and detailed. A little cold perhaps but... 
Turntable lid up or off?
Agree. A lid is more than I can handle. A bowl is usually plenty. 
Compression Titanium Worlds finest tweet ever engineered
I don't fully understand the semantics of this thread, not important, what is important is I refute this opinion, whatever it is. Why? Because it's what you said to do!

Please watch closely. The squiggles shown exactly match the transmission time of the signal through the wire, demonstrating conclusively exactly what I said, ringing as the signal bounces back and forth due to the impedance mismatch. https://www.y...

Trump tweets way better. 
Turntable lid up or off?
Off. It will sound more open.Down it will sound closed in. Removed and placed on end it will be balanced. On the short end of course for greater extension. DO NOT lean against the wall, this will be tilted up. The most stable will be horizontal, ... 
Jazz for aficionados
Don't laugh. Not everyone knows the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Just like hardly anyone knows the number one greenhouse gas is water vapor. Or that CO2 is a trace element measured in ppm. And even then, less today than at any time in the entire ge... 
Preamp making loud pitched morse code sound
I tried running the preamp out to my recover without the turntable plugged into the preamp and still heard the noise. That eliminates the possibility of it being the TT, right? Right. In this case then it is a problem with shielding or grounding i...

Aren't ML Summits ESL? Because we have at least one owner using F1 with them and beautifully. The story as I understand it is a big reason they sound so good is they are impedance matched with the speaker. Not perfectly of course but a lot closer ...
