| Too good a post to waste Sorry but it was either that or Beavis and Butthead chortling, "He said double blind testing. Huh. Huh. Huh." Which would be cool, and more the level of respect it merits. But they never said it. Sigh. | |

| Is it a gender disorder? There was a period of a few years where I was crazy active with audiophiles, going to meetings, having them over, and visiting their systems. This was back in the 90's, Black Diamond Racing Cones were new and I was taking them around trying them o... | |
| In case you need a new "source" for audiophile units..... I once sold a letter opener for $599. It was forged by Celebrimbor upon Mount Doom and smuggled out of Mordor on the wings of the Eagles of Manwe. Currently working on listing a Tesla wireless high current multi-phase amplifier hand wired by Tony ... | |
| Package Lost in US Customs Bill Gates. Porsche 959. 13 years. Need I say more? | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? "I have a tube amp that requires shut down, short break, between speaker changes"What is the reason for the shut down?The reason is he doesn't want to fry his amp which is what will happen disconnecting speakers with it turned on. Meanwhile.... ... | |
| Unbelievable Unless they can certify the plywood from the island of Hokkaido was trees planted by Hattori Hanzo I would pass. | |
| Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated or Separates? Why baby steps when great strides are so affordable? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcd76DZmbdY | |
| Tube amp - tube socket problem Agree, tweak the pin pockets. There's also some very fine pipe cleaner type wires that can be used to clean inside. Had mine so long, forget where they came from. I would also try and find a wire, same gauge as the tube pins, to slide into each pi... | |
| Tonearm lead connection on last leg I would totally try and fix it myself before shipping it off, even shipping just the arm. But you will want proper strippers for that gauge wire. A new clip would be nice, but you could probably re-use the current one if you're careful. You'll nee... | |
| Best improvement for the buck Depending on who you ask the correct answer is "room treatments" or "sell all your gear and buy a Raven integrated and a pair of Tektons". Don't be silly. Depending on who you ask the correct answer is "GIK" and "How NOT to buy a subwoofer" or s... | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? I have! Jafco, 1974. Any thoughts about auditioning speakers at home with a speaker selector box? Yeah. Don't. | |
| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade Right.(falconquest, not the other one) My experience is the more direct the better. The main advantage of a dedicated line is not the ability to provide more current. Our systems do not require anywhere near even a 15A draw let alone 20A. What we ... | |
| What should you hear? What I find however is that the imaging, sound stage is very dependent on the recording. Right. Mono recordings everything is in a sort of sphere in the middle. Some recordings are flat, others deep. Sometimes vocals are centered, sometimes of... | |
| Linear Power supply for dedicated line There's no good reason to run three lines, one is better for noise, and the digital analog thing you're talking about is a common misunderstanding. The optimal location is to plug everything into the same line and circuit. If the Shunyata has enou... |
