| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. So, whatever skill sets and experiences I have had through the years, what was most important to me, was my customer. It was my job, to analyze ( dig deep with music related questions ) each and every one; to find out what their experiences were, ... | |
| Brian Russell has passed away It is always sad when someone passes. I have owned many Bryston pieces, and used them in many systems I put together over the years. My condolences to the Russell family, his colleagues, and his followers. RIP | |
| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. @twoleftears I discussed the situation with Tammy and Admin, about some folks like yourself, counting commas and making fun of the thread, so I thought it best to have it deleted. BTW, did you ever read my comment about the flip down stylus guard ... | |
| Speakers which always sound good headphones always seems to work | |
| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. I was asked by some other members here through private emails, to tell a few of my stories. I was encouraged to keep this going, but not necessarily, make it about me, but make it a group thing. So many here, have interesting stories and specific ... | |

| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Much of what is mentioned above, imo, are not tweaks, but actual components and necessities, as part of our systems, for bringing out the best for our enjoyment. I am in line with atmasphere ( even though we are on different sides about some thing... | |
| Downside to "revealing" system? I know many listeners who own 2 tonearms / cartridges, on a single table, or have 2 separate table / arm / cartridge players, for the exact reason you speak about. And as mentioned above, you have 2 phono stages. | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) My passive is single ended, and I am fine with it. Given everything you say, which is quite informative, still leaves me with 2 conclusions. The 1st is, balanced lines are useful, and necessary, when the lines are long, and / or there is an abunda... | |
| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars @atmasphere Ditto with everything said ! | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) All good. I have heard the Benchmark gear ( at another listener’s home ), which I understand conforms 100%. We did a cable shoot out, and the sq differences between cables were quite apparent to me ( I brought over some 1 meter Silnote Audio balan... | |
| Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III Klipsch " Heritage " speakers are fun, and I am glad folks besides myself, think so. I have spoken here and elsewhere, about damping the mid horns ( the greatest improvement ), the tweeter horns, the woofer and passive woofer frames, and the cabin... | |
