what effect does fire/heat/soot on digital equiptment?
Its digital. Digital is binary. Either works perfectly (perfect sound forever!) or not at all.

And your point is... that you tend to be wrong a lot? How many White Hot Stampers have you heard?I’m gonna say: zero. Which makes me... right again.If you had you would’ve said so. Right yet again. So you took a shot at me for no good reason and f... 
Help w/ properly hooking up my ML grotto sub....
Sorry, but there comes a point where if you confuse enough stuff its impossible to help. Your amp has a sub out. Are you using it or not? Because use it and that's pretty much the end of it. Either that or you got me just as confused as you are. 
2way vs 3way speakers: different or is one "better"
What is the point of a midrange? To handle midrange frequencies better than a large woofer. Do bookshelf speakers have large woofers? No. So what is the point of a midrange in a bookshelf speaker?Good question. 
Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience
Yes but on the other hand even audiophiles ought to know speakers do not create an intimate listening experience. Speakers REcreate whatever is on the recording. If its intimate and the speakers are any good then they will recreate the intimate ex... 
Alternatives To Power Conditioning In A Revamped System
An old Synergistic Master Coupler for about $3-400 is better than most new $500 power cords. The Orange Fuse for $160 is almost as good as the Master Coupler. So I would start with the Fuse. 
Choice between 2 speaker cable types.
At 26 feet I say pick your battles. In this case admit defeat and move on to ones you can actually win. $500 in a 26 foot wire won't make hardly any difference compared to $500 in a 1m interconnect.  
Best isolation platform for a turntable with suspension?
I did a whole lot of research into this, and tried a lot of different things, all during which time my Basis table was used on the floor. Can't recommend the floor as being very convenient. It is however pretty much the gold standard for turntable... 
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER ...
Your question really takes me back. Been so long, kinda almost forgot there was even a time I was caught up in such things. If you would have asked me then I probably would have had a conventional answer. Now though its hard even to imagine going ... 
100W, 200W, or 300W?
This is why my #1 speaker filter is 90dB. Never buy speakers less sensitive than 90dB. Anything less is the difference between being able to drive them well with any of scores of amps with as little as 50 wpc, and being stuck with speakers that fo...

When you get up around $125- or even when you don’t, any time sound quality is paramount- save your money and look for it at Better Records. A White Hot Mingus does cost substantially more. However it sounds so much better its hard to believe. 
Too good a post to waste
jetter-millercarbon, I am going to tell you how it is. A number of us have been on this site for many years. We have a history together. I have been mostly a silent member until a year or two ago. I am a CPA and do not have a background in electri... 
Too good a post to waste
No. But what would be the point? So you could come back later and say "Ahh but x in this study only equalled 1,367. Someone should do a study where everyone is blind, and deaf, and mute (sign language okay, maybe, but we should do two studies just... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Innuendo...An innuendo is a hint, insinuation or intimation about a person or thing, especially of a denigrating or a derogatory nature. It can also be a remark or question, typically disparaging, that works obliquely by allusion. In the latter se... 
DIY "HiFi" cables - and why I don't trust BJC and the likes
DIY cables are a joke. Not that a lot of guys haven't deluded themselves into believing the fantasy you just described. Which is pure fantasy. Because try and imagine, if it was true, everyone would notice and no one would pay $500 for a $50 wire....
