I would stick with the system in the deprivation tank- warm, liquid, and all-enveloping.

The Blackhawk’s 20W is plenty for any Tekton. My Moab will take more, and easily, but the Reflection wasn’t about power so much as quality and aesthetics. The Reflection is just about the sexiest thing in all of audio. Just to be able to look at i... 
Who Killed Q Sound?
Just so you know, this is all just business. We don't always have to kill them. Just make sure they understand.    
If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........
What I listen for, most of all, with every recording I listen to, is an engagenment between me, and the performers. Following the individual rhythms and musical lines, by the artists, is the number one factor I strive to hear. My system allows fo... 
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
What I think is, won't work. Besides, we already have it. We already have people saying very clearly where they stand. Just look how clear you were to let everyone know, and how little that did to stop the same old boorish behavior.    A classic...

When I need to go into the weeds I call  on people that have an EE Sometimes one little detail and all of a sudden everything falls into place.  
Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage.
A strange thing as well one channel is much louder with the frequencies than the other. One is quiet enough that the music would cover the sound but the other is much too loud. Big clue here, hinting the problem is a connection or routing and n... 
May as well call this...
I've been doing it for years. Only difference is the link used to open YT on a new page or tab. Now we can see not just the link but the actual video. So zero functional gain there. In terms of progress, posting the link is buggier than before. So... 
Dustcover Blues
Gosh, what a great time to have not called cable elevators porn, and to have not dismissed with scorn every tweak you do not understand and insulted all of us who use them. Because if you had not done those things then I would be happy to help and... 
Do We Have New Software?
David Lynch. Not wierd or anything.     
Who Killed Q Sound?
I also killed Quad, Beta, and Laser Disk. A facilitator of fatalities.
