Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
My wife has never really listened to music much. She has a collection of LP’s from the 70s-80’s consisting of John Denver, Barbara Streisand, Joanie Mitchell, Janis Ian, Bread, Dan Fogelberg, some classical, some show tunes - several hundred reco... 
How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment?
Aluminum foil.   BTW, I love cats… but I can’t ever eat a whole one.  
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
@rodman99999 Who asked you?   The OP asked if there was mythology involved, I accommodated him with the POV of an EXPERT/professional in the field. Sheesh. My background is in science/medicine. Questioning is second nature for me. We don’t T... 
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
A’gon site won’t let me post the complete link, but if you want another answer, some food for thought, try searching for gramophone-dreams-26-nelson-pass-harmonic-distortion. Of course, those among the audioscenti here who have golden or platinum...

Beatles vs. Stones
Never did care much for the Ruttles, more of a Stones fan. Besides, they’re different styles and of different roots. Not to mention the fab four barely made it a decade while the bad boys of rock and roll were still playing to stadiums full of ar... 
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
😆   A difference is a difference no matter how small.

Miles Davis “Miles Ahead.” It’s the Waxtime 180gm release and sounds good enough. Grows on you.

@jerryg123 Thanks for this link. It’s far more useful than the preadolescent ad hominem sort of comment you preceded it with. But I’ve gotten used to the childish audio geekazoid insults one reads when often insupportable shibboleths are challe...

“Legitimate [test]data” vs anecdotal opinion (anecdotes are not “evidence”).    It’s why I put a link in a comment a few posts ago referencing ASR’s review of the Furutech whatsis. If you read (both past or present tense) it, you wouldn’t ask t...

Or not. i think I’ll wait for some legitimate data, not anecdotes.
