What exactly is PRaT???
PRaT, propulsion and speed overlap so much as to render a venn diagram a fuzzy circle. Can't have one without the other two (to some degree) if you want realism. It's part of the completion of the illusion of realism.  Until my present system, I ... 
analyzing sound
I still stand by the old saw, "You'll know it when you hear it."  You see, I'm one of those that still stands by the quaint belief that my ears can do the hearing part for me. Must be a generational thing. All the best, Nonoise  
What exactly is PRaT???
It's just a euphemism for something that simply sounds more authentic. Being more authentic gets you more involved with the sound and gets you to toe tapping. I think the mystery behind it that we're looking at it with a modern perspective that c... 
???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???
Time for my broken record imitation....Revival Audio Atalante 3 monitors. The most pleasingly balanced speakers I've owned.  All the best, Nonoise  
A brief review of GR Research Bully
I need eyedrops.   
Integrated amp for 2500-3000
Check out the Technics SU-G700M2. Just under $2900. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0iM7mwEC98 I own this and have stopped looking to upgrade.  All the best, Nonoise  
Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else)
@facten It could very well be that I live in an older apartment building with around 32 other tenants.  All the best, Nonoise  
Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else)
I've had a TrippLite and a ZeroSurge and they both negatively affected the sound. I thought I could do it on the cheap and was wrong. I've been using the Audioquest Niagara 1200 for years and the sound is cleaner with no leading edge etch and no  ... 
Audio Fantasies
Ah, the pantry system. Something even the butler and maid can enjoy to make their lives less miserable.   
Audio Fantasies
I thought this site was my own personal fantasy and all of you were just voices in my head.  
Happy listening in SoCal
Don't panic until you see the actual tier structure. Consolidating three into two increases the structure (duration) of the tiers but to what extent, we won't know until the next billing cycle.  What got my goat was an announcement a couple month... 
Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver
You know me, I own Atalante 3 monitors and feel that anything you get would be, at  best, a sideways move. When auditioning (and that's what you should be doing), give the new speakers time to break in and then put the Atalante 3 back in to have a... 
Oh my goodness!
Brevity is the soul of wit. Just keep any sarcasm short and succinct and let the chips fall where they may.  Not only can you say it, you can also post an image (a thousand words and all) which upsets some of the stick in the muds here. (they rea... 
CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
@rx8man  Are they the ones located in the top left of this photo? If so, is it the rightmost portion with the two red lines on the outside of the three spaces with the middle one vacant?  If so, would moving one up or one down complete the vol... 
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
I just read some comments on the Michi Q5 on a short YouTube video of it and a Michi fan/owner said it uses the same $25 CD drive mechanism as Pro-Ject and that Marantz and Jays sound better. How he knows that is beyond me unless he's already audi...
