$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?
This question got me searching for a more philosophical answer:    
Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk.
The trick to dynamic SRA is to listen. Only way. A rack that massive, the mass itself is so much inertia it will not move very fast even if the floor does. Mine is about that massive and I have seen it. Before when it was on cones I could stomp o... 
Who Killed Q Sound?
It was me. Took a lot of contracts like that back in my assassin days.    
suspending monitors from the ceiling
I would put them on Townshend Podiums suspended from the ceiling. Hopefully we are taking about a suspended ceiling. Otherwise I would first suspend a ceiling from the ceiling, then suspend the Podiums and finally put the speakers on the Podiums. ... 
Do We Have New Software?
They added a new mod. I think we can look forward to continued inexplicable posts and threads being erased.  
Better CD Sound: The Search
The search is over! Came up with this one just the other night! Remove CD from jewel case. Holding the CD in both hands, firmly press both thumbs into the center hole. Now this is the most important part- QUICKLY press and pull sharp as you can un... 
Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk.
Honestly, seriously high quality cartridge alignment can be done with a free download found on-line printed on a piece of paper. The only thing you will then be missing is the paper is thinner than a record. So you tape the paper on a record.    ... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned

Positioning full range electrostatic speakers
a while ago, I temporarily stored a pair of stand speaker behind these panels and I wasn’t able to discern much, or any, difference in sound.I'd say that about covers it.  
Audiophile virtues
The book is a guide. Seriously. There's a clue in the title. A guide is not a novel. Also it is a guide to high end audio. Not a comprehensive treatise on amps, speakers, etc. Just all the info you need to get your bearings on the subject of high ... 
Describe the sound of point source loudspeakers?
A point is by definition a dimensionless or infinitely small location in space. Dimensionless or infinitely small objects cannot possibly produce sound. (Some will no doubt now go chasing after these speakers with zero room interactions.) I mentio... 
Capital Audiofest, save thyself!
Good advice. Tomorrow I will post mine, and then you should have it within a few weeks, however many riders and horses it takes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhx8G0K9Wec 
Tube dampener questions
Do you know why tubes are called valves? A plate on one side has a whole lot of electrons that are attracted to a plate on the other side. The signal we want to amplify is used to control another element in between that controls the flow of electr...
