Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
pmiller115, that is a really good description, and I noticed the same thing but get so focused on sweet spot listening I never mentioned it so glad you brought it up. My first time coming home after being at Mike Lavigne's, his room is so neutral-... 
amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way.
OMG! Mike! I witnessed this first hand! My Aunt Bessie was deaf form birth. Never saw any indication she could hear anything at all. One day we are down in the basement rocking out. Aunt Bessie comes down, huge smile on her face, goes straight to ...

So the moral of the story is that we all should be listening to MC and ditch our under 92 DB efficient speakers? MC got me on”they should do as I recommended and avoid speakers under 92DB” how pompous of him.The moral of the story is you should re... 
SoundSmith cartridges how good?
Waaaa. 😭😭😭 But if on the other hand you call up and the guy talks to you for three minutes there will be whiners opining the guy has too much time. Or you are unnecessarily needy. Or something. There is ALWAYS something some audiophile somewhere w... 
Classical Top Five
Good grief Schubert, everyone knows the world’s greatest sporting event is the Tour de France. Sheesh! But what do you expect from a guy so lost he doesn’t know the world football championship isn't a "cup" it's called the Super Bowl. Probably thi... 
The Lifespan of an LP?

SoundSmith cartridges how good?
How good are Soundsmith cartridges? Good enough to be next in line, and end of the line, for me. When ready to replace/upgrade my Koetsu Black Goldline it will be to a SG1. Which also makes it the upgrade for the Herron. Why? Because, if you do th...

Subwoofer splitter help
There is no L/R with subs. They are labeled that way because this is easier than explaining to audiophiles how everything they think they know about subs is wrong. Does not matter how you connect them. If you can go from one sub to the next, do th... 
Which order to apply room correction tools?
The best method is speaker placement. First being to find the best location for response, then after that to get them absolutely precisely symmetrically equidistant for imaging.   With three subs they should be asymmetrically distributed around th...

For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.
On first joining this site a few years ago one of my first interactions was with this one guy who I first thought was sincere but misinformed. We do such a lousy job teaching science and I thought that's all it was. Immediately though it became cl... 
Taking time (and time outs) to enjoy the ride...
This is what makes it so hard. The whole point is to be lost, carried away, and enjoying the music. But no one ever was wrapt and swept away by the glorious music pouring forth from their flip-phone. So a certain level of fidelity is called for. B...

It is an off the shelf part, of that you can be sure. You just need to find the right shelf.... 
enough amplifier power
Hard to tell which way you really are going with this so I will just say your example supports what I keep repeating, the most important thing is speaker sensitivity. Your flea watt amp probably sounds absolutely captivating. That is the calling c...
