Beautiful listening rooms
This listening room is the bomb.    
Phono stage and preamp overload
Well the stuff you have listed there is excellent. I would lean Koetsu but in truth once you get much over a grand it is hard to find a bad cartridge and a good one at this level is really good. They do keep getting better but already you are at a... 
Audiophile Prayer
They taught me this prayer in The Complete Guide High End Audio Bible School:   Great audiophile who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name Thy Tekton come, on Podiums done, his listening room be heaven. Give us this day our daily thread, and for... 
What are you tweaking this weekend?
I'll be tweaking the website so we don't have to read the same posts over and over again.  
Recording with bass to align my subs with my speakers
Study Fletcher-Munson Equal Loudness Contours. Notice perceived loudness is very uneven, exaggerated and compressed at very low frequencies. In other words, very low bass below a certain threshold is very hard to hear at all. But then once it is, ...

Guys, guys. You know what they say. Takes one to know one.  
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Right.🤣😂😂😂That’s what I’m gonna do.🤣🤣🤣🤣Give away Townshend’s proprietary process to the world’s worst troll. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hey I got one for ya, ask Ted Denney to tell you how he does his Quantum Tunneling treatment.🤣🤣🤣 Ask Koetsu how they wind thei... 
Phono stage and preamp overload
You are seriously over thinking it. Especially since overload is much less likely than having too much. Your typical phono stage with 45 to 65 dB gain will output a normal 3 or so, right in the sweet spot of your preamp input range. The volume ra... 
Other factors affecting sound
Ordinary contractor wire is fine. Easily the best and most cost-effective thing you can do is run one 20A wire direct from the panel to your system outlet. What people call a dedicated line. Really just a direct line from the panel to the system. ... 
Heat in class A equipment
Heat is a real problem. It takes a long time to fully warm up and sound good.  Does it help to wave your thermal runaway gun at things? Have you tried voice coils? What is the hottest chip inside your DAC? Have you tried a cooling fan? How hot do... 
Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet
Stock freebie black rubber power cords are so bad literally everything will be an improvement. Which one you do first hardly matters. For one thing it hardly matters because guess what? You can move it! PC are like everything else bought on the ba... 
Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music
One of the many beautiful aspects of DBA is more subs beats bigger subs every time. The idea of "proper space" for example. If you understand the concept then you know your four subs don't have to be 12" or even 10" they can be 8" or even 6". They... 
Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance??
Any time. Reminds me of x-ray school physics. They teach all these mathematical formulas that almost everyone memorizes and learns by rote. Even the teachers, most of whom don’t really understand they just have learned the jargon and formulas. I d... 
It's Great Having So Many Choices (?)
My last speakers were sold off Craig's List locally. Because I knew any normal person comes and hears them, they are gonna sound so much better than anything they ever heard before, they are gonna snap em up. Whereas any audiophile is gonna hem an... 
Question : has anybody placed a Shunyata Omega QR power cord on thier sourse components ?
Or even better, don’t waste your time asking random interwebbers. This is what we have reviewers for. This is what we have the search bar for. Unless you came to socialize and virtue signal. "Hope all is well and you are all staying safe". Beggin...
