| Magico vs the world If you're gonna pay homage, the original is Trump vs the world- anything less wouldn't be fair. Then again maybe you're right. The jury's still out on Magico. They probably will have a tough time with Tekton. Some of them anyway. Soundwise. | |
| Amps and Kimber 12tc. Big amps and room temperature. You have lamp cord hooked up to a Bryston? Your speakers are connected with wire off a roll? Am I reading this right???! | |
| Best speaker cables for under 500$ (Euros) Yeah, a lot of guys feel that way. The problem is there are so many to choose from, and instead of relying on listener impressions most guys buy into marketing narratives. Anyway, if you would listen to Synergistic Research after a while it will b... | |
| Tonearm for SH-B19 (BL-1010? I have one of the earlier OL Conquerors. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Terrific arm, especially if they improved VTA on the fly or you mod it like mine. I had a Graham and would get any OL over a Graham, or any other arm that requires ... | |

| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts prof is being prof, which is short for professor, which is what he fancies himself. The reason you aren’t sure is proof he’s not only tin-eared but a lousy writer to boot. It is not easy to write so much and say so little. Even the emoticon, no on... | |
| Subwoofer dual wired hum question Perfect if your goal is to find yourself right back where you started only with less money and more gear you don't need. That is his specialty. A transformer won't do anything unless everything is plugged into it. Ground loop hum is caused by diff... | |
| Nice subwoofer can make your speaker sing! That room of yours has got to be the most acoustically interesting setup ever. Congrats on your first DBA. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science This whole thing really ought to have been settled long ago. The whole measurement thing is the province of Julian Hirsch and Stereo Review.

| Suggestions for an Analog Front-End Spend more on the table and cartridge and pair it with a less expensive phono-preamp for now. I can upgrade later if desired. Open to other strategies.Glad to hear because its always good to have a plan and that is a good one. One of the great th... | |
| Remember the Jafco Catalog? My Kenwood KA-8004 integrated and JBL L25 speakers bought at the Tacoma Jafco are featured on that page! Yellow with orange grilles just as pictured, bought at serious markdown. Ugly as hell but the same great (for then) JBL sound. Bought my Pione... | |
| what's the point? Its all subtle. Until you develop an ear for it. Then it becomes significant. This might not seem like such a big deal. Most people who have been over and heard a demo between any two things, even when they do easily hear a difference and have a p... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I know just how you feel. When I was a little kid and someone showed me just how childish my reasons were I took it personally and my feelings were hurt. Sometimes acting out of frustration I called these people names. Eventually I grew up, learne... | |
