It is balloon
Yeah someone posted that six months ago. One of my favorite bits is when he says he can "hear" so good with the balloon that he can easily tell the difference between cables. So even though he is legally deaf, he can hear better than many audiophi... 
How many watts??
Yup. What he said. 
My Experience With Tekton
The vitriol is entirely from one side. It goes like this: someone says they really like something, and then comes the vitriol. There is no moral equivalence. To say otherwise is deluded.   That is by the way a factually correct and uncontroversial... 
Sibilance

Step by Step How to Use a Digital Multimeter / Oscilloscope for Azimuth Adjustments
You guys seem to understand there are two different ways of setting azimuth. What you are missing is what this means: The sort of absolutely precise azimuth you are after cannot be achieved via any sort of observation other than listening. The two...

I have never even heard of any of these. 
Fuses

Yes I once read an op Ed from a audiophile who stated that the sign of a good system was to see how low you could play the volume and still have it sound good. Not the other way around.That's interesting. Because I heard a system one time so bad i... 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
Okay, but the discussion is worst rock band ever. Not most idiosyncratically and irrationally hated. But we love it when old threads are revived for no good reason so thanks anyway.

Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles
John Stewart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyqaAEwIhNI When your terrific audiophile suitable video has only 270 views you know you're "rarely mentioned".  Yet he wrote the hits Daydream Believer (The Monkees), and Gold https://www.youtube.com/w... 
Matching solid state amps with tube based pre amps
