3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive???
By your answer you are saying that you believe they are exclusive and you pick one or the other. No, not me. I already know measurements are irrelevant. It is nothing to do with me. It is nothing to do with being mutually exclusive. That is your g...

hshifi, We had someone recently upgrade from Gaia to Townshend Podiums, they are quite a bit better. Do a search you will probably find others. If you want to save money the Nobsound springs are quite a bit cheaper than Gaia (only $30 per set of 4...

Wales is on the water, not actually in it. 
Gripped By Upgrade Fever
I’m two months into my ownership of KEF LS50s. Only a fool would be in a hurry to replace those speakers. I am that fool. .... This is a long term plan. ....For some reason, without any listening experience or technical knowledge, that argumen... 
About the importance of the room vs the electronics
This has gone far enough. Long past time someone aired the truth. The main source of sound quality is the air. No air, no sound. That simple.

3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive???
I don't understand the question. Do you want what sounds good? Or what measures good? Don't say both. Life is full of choices. Nobody gets everything they want. Nothing is ever perfect. So your choice. Which one do you want?   
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts

One Cord To Rule Them All
Interesting article. Caelin Gabriel moved out here to Bremerton back in the 90's to be near my great mentor Stewart Marcantoni who played a key role in helping launch Shunyata. Caelin even came over one night and did a demo of some of his new Powe...

How to wire my subwoofer and amp
Right it is mono. Classe tells you how to wire the amp to run the amp mono. Fine. You can run two sets of wires to the sub, but it won't matter, because the sub will sum them anyway. Because: mono. So run one set from the amp to either L or R on t... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
It is going on like 30 years now that I have known cable elevators work. Read the comment on my System page, Deborah had her eyes closed when she "heard" me remove them. Done the demo for many others many times. Definitely beyond a shadow of a dou... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk
That's probably why the restock fee. Way too many out there want the businessman to subsidize their learning curve. 
Stereophile's 2021 products of the year
To the dude with limited reading comprehension, never said there are no good speakers with less than 92dB. What I did was answer a question, what if any measurements are important? Speaker sensitivity surely is one of them. Notice, since I actuall...
