Subwoofer insight.
ricmci, if you wonder if more subs really is better, check this out. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367My first sub was the Talon Roc in the corner. A fine sub. But only one. One does not work very well. (Sorry, guys, but it doesn't. Can't.... 
So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound?
Lots of cheap tweeters with breakup ( non pistonic motion ) in the passband is not the answer....This is what we writers call, "innuendo". Vaguely insulting, it says nothing while making equally vague claims, just really a low down waste of time a... 
Subwoofer insight.
Two is a good start. Much better than one. Or none. One thing you will learn, if you're smart enough to try, is the more the better. One sub is better than none and sometimes kinda sorta matches. Two is better still. With four you find all of a su... 
So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound?
"why so many drivers in some speakers?"Depends. Reasons vary. The current reigning champ is Eric Alexander at Tekton. In studying the physics of sound Eric realized the moving mass of a lot of instruments (violin or guitar strings, etc) is very lo... 
You could work for any manufacturer, past or present...
I would work with Machina Dynamica. I would learn to run rocks through the rock polisher and test all the different Zip-Loc baggies for sound quality. Together we would fulfill my lifelong dream of travel through time and universes. Maybe even lea... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk Break in time period
No regrets and no negative after purchase sarcasm. Refreshing difference! That's the way its supposed to go. That's the way it always has gone for me for many years now. That's the way it always will go for as long as you continue to do your resea... 
Advice on Music
Linda Ronstadt recorded three albums of standards with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. Performed straight up classic, no schmaltzy flourishes, superbly recorded and mastered, more than homage they are pure yet somehow manage to sound new at the s...

Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301
Be aware, Fremer like it fast and technical. He's very up front about it so you should know but just making sure you do. In spite of that he also seems to describe things very professionally accurately- something I know from personal experience as...

How to greatly appreciate AudiogoN....
How to greatly appreciate Rennlist- just go to any parking lot. How to greatly appreciate WatchUSeek- just look at any wrist. How to greatly appreciate Fine Woodworking- just look at any shop (if you even can find someone who has a shop!). How to ... 
Which Power Cables to sell
Yes SR is that good. The Master Coupler is the closest thing to the gold standard of power cords you can get. Not because it is the best, but because it has been around so long and still commands value, because it is that good. Name any other powe... 
Dumb break in question...
Also highly recommend the XLO test CD. Worth it for the demagnetizing tracks alone. One sweep track, one bass fade. Seems like it could never work. Hearing is believing. What’s going on? How does magnetization work? How does demagnetization work? ... 
What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
I enjoy downloading porn. Also sometimes scavenge around for old abandoned refrigerators and turning them into a playhouse for kids. Its hard though. The ones with the secure latch are getting harder and harder to find.  
Which Power Cables to sell
Oh! This one is easy! Since you can't hear a difference, sell them both. Sell them all! No one should have power cords that provide no benefit. Since there definitely are power cords out there that sound so good anyone can hear the improvement you...
