Technical sophistication
Thanks for the detailed reply! I have Harley's book and I've consulted it occasionally. Perhaps a more disciplined and conscientious course of study is in order. Two parts of the book were for me the most valuable were the section on listening ... 
How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish?
mijostyn, in another train wreck of a post: Millercarbo I will certainly not let you near any of my Porsches. This is for everyone else since mijostyn as he is about to discover has crashed and burned and lies smoldering. I have the first place ...

Neil Young’s Lonely Quest to Save Music
As Tim Cook, the head of Apple, recently told a reporter, without any evident trace of humor, “We worry that the humanity is being drained out of music.” That is the first positive statement from Apple regarding their destruction of music quality.... 
Technical sophistication
I'm a radiologic technologist for which you have to know enough electronics to read a schematic and build an X-ray tube from scratch. Also enough chemistry and physics to understand how electrons bombarding a tungsten disk produces x-ray photons. ...

Separate subs for music and HT/surround
Okay listen first off its not gonna sound like it but I totally get it. People with HT setups love their HT setups in spite of the horrid sound. Or maybe even because of the horrid sound. I get that. Do not understand why anyone would want to wast...

Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
I sold almost all of mine. Actually gave away is more like it. Believe it or not but back then everyone believed CD was "perfect sound forever" not disposable crap with the half-life of a floppy disk. For sentimental reasons I held onto a small nu... 
Stein Harmonizer's

Compatible TV to audio receiver
No idea what sensitivity means in that sense.S/N is a ratio. Changing input levels does not change the ratio. 74 dB is actually just fine for a phono stage. You're thinking CD players where they can be anything up to and over 100 dB. But being CD ...
