Big head. I said I have a big head. You got a problem with that? https://youtu.be/hIdsjNGCGz4?t=158 
One Cord To Rule Them All
What does it matter? That is the 64 thousand dollar question. Let me ask you this, what does it matter which diode is used? The diode comes before the power supply filter caps. All the power used comes from the caps. So what does it matter what di... 
Azimuth: how critical is it?
Also, if you look on Soundsmith and study well you will see Peter Ledermann came up with an ingenious solution that enables all his cartridges to have azimuth adjustment regardless of what arm they are used on. When you see how it works you will r... 
Azimuth: how critical is it?
What am I missing with this problem? It has bothered me enough mentally to consider a new table but I’m thinking I’ll need to invest at least $3K or more to achieve an improvement.Thoughts? Save your money. Relax. Azimuth is not all that. First, n...

Mods which don't harm re-sale
Both my speakers sold at a premium precisely because I had modded and upgraded them. So the idea mods trash resale is unfounded. It all depends on the mod, and the buyer. There is a saying with Porsche that when buying used you don't buy the car, ... 
Mods which don't harm re-sale
This depends so many things I don't know if it can be answered. Same mod, one might say wow great added value, the next might say no way not touching that!   So way too many variables to even hazard a guess. That's on the one side. On the other si...

rankaudio- millercarbon you really nailed this comment well.“What happened was we stopped listening and started measuring“I have the exact problem dealing with this in the telescope industry. What happened is they stopped observing and started m... 
Stirring Up Trouble
The bottom line is that something that we would call sound or music doesn’t exist until a sound wave travels through out physically different aural systems, our neurons with their biases and ways of working, rides neurotransmitters across the syna... 
One Cord To Rule Them All
I think no way you use 600 watts other than maybe for a fraction of a second if you turn everything on all at once.  A used Synergistic Research Master Coupler is right in your budget range. Big, bold, detailed and very well balanced. There's a re... 
I need more Power Scotty !!!!
Once again I am the only one to figure out the post is a joke, a troll, a ruse, and respond accordingly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al2z7t3M9Og

It is not me you disagree with, it is literally the definition. That's why I say don't take my word for it, look it up. Your disagreement then is with reality. I know nowadays we each are supposed to be able to have our own reality. Good luck with... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Credit John Hannant. I gave him the weight and dimensions, he did the rest. These things being where they are you don't get down on the floor much to get a good look at them, but looking at the pictures I am reminded just how good they really do l... 
I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo.
😳OP:I have a question: I’ve seen a lot of terms in audiophile jargon: laid back, top end, low end, harsh, soft, smooth, etc.I don’t understand them. I only listen to recorded music, almost nothing synthesized. So the adjectives I know are: pitch, ... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Podiums are indeed good. New pics show my Moabs are on Podiums with BDR Cones and Round Things. Podiums are so low-profile they only raised the Moabs an insignificant amount compared to what they were before, maybe about an inch. Don’t know. Didn’...
