How to Break In a new CD Transport?
It sounds really nice which is what you want because 400 hrs is BS. The vast majority is done in 10 to 20 hours, by 50 for sure. Anything after that is in the realm of normal daily variations. That said you should leave it on but not bother playin... 
Too good a post to waste
Your starting to seem like someone whose whole life is actually siting by his computer using google to come up with information to try to impress the rest of us.Ya think? Good to see people finally figuring this out. Why its taken so long I do not... 
Turntable feedback rumble problems with new sub
All you need is a couple inches of sand in a box. Pack the sand, put something on top of the sand- can be one big sheet of MDF or four small ones, hardly matters- and put the turntable on that. The footers you have may work better under the sand b... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
You know I do not doubt a word of it. If he had done that people would have been boggled. Absolutely gob-smacked.My impression is that all the stuff everyone has been doing is moving electrons around in the most crude fashion. A huge amount of ene... 
Emotional rollercoaster
Is spending big bucks a sham. Where have I gone wrong. It's an emotional rollercoaster. Help.Its not a sham. But it does show just how challenging a task it is to build a truly satisfying system, regardless of price.  Having done this quite a whil... 
Why cuts into vinyl covers?
As far as value, it depends. Nothing in vinyl is cut and dried. SQ wise promo copies tend to be early run and sound better. Except when they don't. Value wise they could be worth more- or less. Personally I buy for sound quality and all other thin...

Who Here is Vertical Bi-Amping?
I don't mean to give the impression this isn't a serious subject worthy of discussion. I tried very hard to get my speakers to go bi. But it just wouldn't work. Turns out they are trans. 
Train
Hello???!Holly Cole’s cover of Tom Waits Train Song.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wm7vnH4E80 
Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers?
You had me at "Jennifer Warnes". 
Does It Matter?
You're fine. When amps turn on there's a delay between the time power is switched on and the power supply caps are charged enough to do anything. If you hear a click after turn-on that's a relay protecting speakers while the power supply gets char... 
Wisdom of buying high priced digital gear (given new advancements underway)
 "given new advancements underway"Good one. Like that's anything new.   
SoundSmith Sapphire cantilever upgrade to CA Virtuoso?
I wouldn't mess around with this either. A whole new Soundsmith would be better.  
Who Here is Vertical Bi-Amping?
Matrix: Can use zillion amps one per driver per frequency in a 4D matrix.Unless you take the red pill in which case you wake up and say, "Tube integrated!"
