Grounding with a Earth box?
How is supposed to work or be better? "How?" is the refuge of scoundrels. "Does?" is all that matters. 
Decware: a worthwhile option?
I've been looking at their line and don't see it that way at all. All low power amps are going to be useable in the real world with speakers 94dB and up- and the higher the better. I have been saying for a long time that 92dB is the lowest sensiti... 
Question on Soundsmith carts
Why not just call and talk to Peter? He would know better than anyone.

Right is red, left is white. 
tube magic with digital source?
Thanks @millercarbon. So do I understand correctly that it is simply a waste of tubes if one only listens to digital sources?No, and no idea how you got that from me. What I said is: I think it far more likely that at this stage of the game we ha... 
Is room size considered when they design speakers?
millercarbon, have you ever considered useful responses? I have, and have come to the conclusion the most useful response isn’t always the one that takes the question the most seriously. And here’s one for you: have you noticed how when people at... 
Pass Labs and Fuses
@David Pritchard. Can you post which way the fuse sounds better? On the Pass Labs, which end goes in first? Don't know, but would it be possible to post a picture? I just got an orange fuse for my X-150.8 and if somebody can just tell me which... 
Is room size considered when they design speakers?
As originally intended the buyer would sit cross legged in the room, not even need to connect the speakers, merely chant the name Ohmmmmmm ohmmmmm ohmmmm ohmmmmm ohmmmmmm over and over again, after several hours inducing a trance state in which tr... 
Is room size considered when they design speakers?
I too have long wondered why manufacturers don't limit their sales by telling customers they only really work in certain limited situations. Also why would they charge more just because they need to use more material to make the product? Fascinati... 
Raven Osprey vs Octave 110 with low sensitivity speakers
Thanks. And for your reading pleasure, meters are a lot more directional than ears. What you measure depends as much on what you play, and what meter settings you use (weighting, peak or average, etc) and may bear little to no resemblance to what ... 
Bass is clearer and more impactful when I stand vs. when I sit
Wow, deja vu all over again! Another guy had almost the exact same question recently. There's nothing wrong with your speakers or your room. What you are hearing is perfectly normal. In order to fix it you first need to understand why it is ther... 
The Decline of the Music Industry
The grain of truth in there is it started going downhill when people started making decisions based on how music can be used to control other people. 
Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat
mahgister- Electronic design is mature for the last 60 years.... It is installation of the system knowledge that is lacking for most people not the choice of their speakers or amplifier.... You have a keen eye my friend- and ear.
