Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Okay so that is the hardest thing to swallow so far, that it works so good you can no longer hear any difference between day and night. That's not even something a lot of people are even aware of or have ever noticed. Okay so here's another one- t... 
Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?

A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass
Its really only a mystery in the sense of not being able to say for certain exactly why. But I have a pretty good idea.The marginal 4 to 5 improvement I interpret as "all other things being equal." Which would apply if all I did was add one more s... 
Possible turntable upgrade....
A little more perspective on Linn.Everything like Linn that has been around a very long time you can be sure things back then were nothing like today. The earliest Linn tables were sold by going store to store demonstrating to disbelieving minds t...
