Luxman tonality
The vast majority of audiophiles, near as I can tell, what they call neutral is sterile. What they call detailed is etched. What they call top end extension is hyped tilted up and more often than not ringing. On and on, the whole vocabulary is cor... 
Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?
Tim deParavincini made some integrated amps sold under the Alchemist brand name. I had one up until about a year ago. Too bad, coulda had a great deal. Very nice, just what you want- if you can find one!  Tim had a talent for that, getting warm tu... 
How do Bang and Olufsen stereo sound?
Vast majority of stereo gear is rather industrial looking and drab. Well good aesthetic design tends to cost more, most of us are looking for sound more than decoration, so it makes sense. Audiophiles also get a lot of their cues from the professi... 
For all you Vinyl lovers!
I can think of another possible reason lalitk. Look in the mirror. 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
Right. Well said. There are simply too many notes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vci4wM6jDDM

Schumann Resonator
Green is a trip! Sexiest deepest most luxuriously liquid sensual sound ever! Even more than the stuff I'm not allowed to tell you about! 😂😂😂 
Schumann Resonator
Fascinating. Somewhere in some of my comments I made note of this. Immediately upon plugging the first one in I felt something like a slight tension in my head. It wasn’t a lot and I was kind of hyper-vigilant trying to notice any little thing and... 
members and their systems
Porsches are very reliable. Something like 60% of every 911 EVER made is still on the road after like 60 years. The difference with Porsche versus Tekton, Better Records and his other commercials he spouts is that MC doesn’t get any special treatm... 
Burned Out
Thirty years of tube amps, here’s what I think about tube rolling. If diodes were on the outside and could be as easily swapped that would make a lot of sense. These rather inexpensive little parts can make a huge difference in image depth and liq... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Okay. Gotcha. In that case, still wrong, but for a different reason. The mods will probably pull this post, they hate it when I explain certain things. All internet sites such as this one are granted protection from prosecution for libel and other... 
My system....what and how will cabling impact?
10% is old school old. When I look over that component list again, quite honestly that is some good stuff, but you have no idea how much performance you have just laying there on the table waiting for springs to set it free. 
My system....what and how will cabling impact?
You already have fairly decent cables. Not freebie patch cords anyway. What you do not have that will be a huge improvement is vibration control. I don't count the rack. It is after all just a rack. What matters far more is what's between the shel... 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
There are two basic issues in rooms: absorption and reflection.Yes. And timing. Three basic issues. And the relationship of direct to indirect sound. Okay four basic issues. Well, and the timing and relative volume of reflected sounds. Dang alrigh... 
Brand preferences and music styles
If that’s the way you want to go, fine. A lot of people only listen a certain way to a certain narrow range of music. Or they find a brand or line of components that has a sound they like. I’ve been that way myself with Synergistic Research for a ...
