Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Currently at work, but just got notification UPS has finally delivered! About a week late. We did have a lot of snow here, but come on, man! Another one, Sinatra-Basie, is also on the way.   Listening last night to Taproot Manuscript, A++, what an... 
DEBRA / SWARM DSP?
You are welcome any time veerossi. Never heard Tannoys so can't say much except Moabs are pretty darn impressive. Especially since mine have been taken apart and treated to some crazy good tweaks that must sadly for the time being remain secret. (... 
Why do you need so much power?
Robert Harley answered your question years ago:"If the first watt isn't any good, why would you want 200 more of them?"

Hey Chuck,What are your recommendations for WHSs?Already said- if you can find one you really love, and will enjoy hearing it sound like never before, enough to be worth it to you. In other words exact same as anything else.How many do you have?Do... 
DEBRA / SWARM DSP?
I just received the following PM from kenjit, quoted below in its entirety and unedited.  hiwould you like me to come and assess your speakers? free of charge. They will need to be equalized to your ears. I bet you I will be able to find many thin... 
Let’s share the music that gives us the chills every time.
Janis Ian, Tattoo. When you realize what happened. 
DEBRA / SWARM DSP?
I have the same 2 amps with 4 subs just like that. Plus one more because, millercarbon. You already have a lot of EQ built into your Daytons. If you really want to double down with DSP the simplest is to connect the DSP to each amp. The DSP is equ... 
Visual Confirmation Bias
By far the largest visual confirmation bias operates with women.I'll say. One look at my bank account and they run!

There was a story some years ago in Stereophile, anecdote really, guy who made turntables was doing a demo at a show. Some people bring their own records to play. One time a nice old man asked to please play his special record. One of these very o...

Love Springsteen songs. One of the very best live acts ever. Well in his prime anyway. Still great for background, in the car, etc. Ghost of Tom Joad on vinyl is pretty good. I will probably go for Darkness some time when Tom has a good one and I'...

Wow mc, think of all the great music you don’t have or listen to because you perceive the sonics to be less than 5 star. Read Robert Harley’s The Complete Guide to High End Audio. There, among many other great things, you will find his descriptio... 
Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming?
To avoid the which is better debate, I am trying to delimit it to his price range for the central gear. As I said, he's open to buying records, the rituals, etc. He wants to know what core gear is capable of within the $4-6k limits. Well then... 
Is my anti-skating too strong.
Geeze Louise! The lengths some will go just to try and get a dig in!   Check this out- a line runs between two points. Just to help you out, we will call the points A, and B. Are you with me so far? Okay so we are gonna call the stylus Point A, an...

Yeah, like I said, no pressing can be any better than the master tape. Elvis and Carly Simon are probably like the Beatles and Elton John, they can sound pretty darn good but never really amazing because the recordings themselves were never really... 
Visual Confirmation Bias
