Sure 1000 dollar earbuds
Surely you mean Shure IEM? I'm sure you know the difference between earbuds and IEMs.  
is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable?
is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? What else could it be?  The meta?? 
New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review
Interesting. It does help of course that his larger drivers aren't recessed. Sitting on top like it does increases the baffle thickness at the driver significantly compared to flush mounting. Still, very interesting. 
New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review
My understanding is he developed some interesting, maybe even patented/proprietary bracing or construction techniques. Which when you build speakers you know just how critical it is to have a cabinet that not only holds the drivers securely but al... 
New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review
Figured you were smart to go with the Enzo 2.7. Not that I'm aware of any bad reviews on any of his (impressively wide range of) speakers, but the tweeter array sure seems to be a big part of it. The Enzo 2.7 has almost the full 7 tweeter array of... 
Is This A Bad Move?
If the speakers really are an exact fit then it won't matter. If there's a space around them then of course some sound from the back is bound to come out around them in front. The high tech solution is Owens Corning 703 acoustic panel, cut to fit ...

Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?
teajay : I have been pursuing this wonderful hobby of high end stereo equipment and music for almost 30 years. I do consider myself a passionate audiophile who loves to listen to music on a daily basis. The reason for this post is because it ... 
Tekton Design Enzo 2.7 or Lore? Help me decide.
That's one seriously good for the money system you're building there. With the Enzo 2.7 it should really shine. Are they really coming that fast? He must have had them in stock and ready so all they need is paint and drivers and out the door they ... 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
You lost me at "I'm an electrical engineer" but my eyes were too fast and caught "please" which is begging and "trust me" which my brain automatically inserts "and the last thing you want to do is" in front of, ditto "the best", because it knows t... 
What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?
Raven is beyond interesting. It is superior. Would never try and talk you out of that. But really, you could also just turn the thermostat down. 
Cool it!
Figured that would trigger someone. Did I mention it was the old Phase Linear with the huge heat sink fins? We called Carver the next day. Bob thought it was pretty clever.  
Anyone have experience with Soundsmith’s strain gauge?
Have you tried Fremer? He had one, and he's been recording carts for years. . . . 
What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?
noromance: @millercarbon Is the Internet big enough to contain you when you get the Raven and the Moabs? ;-) Have you seen the movie, Lucy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ6CC9Ar1DEI AM EVERYWHERE! Buwahahahaha! 
Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection
kenjit: A speaker IS a hearing aid. It’s a giant hearing aid. Every speaker is tuned differently because every designer has a different amount of hearing loss. The mistake you’re making kenjit, well one of them anyway, is a common one. You think o...
