Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Twenty years ago I was listening to a pair of Acoustat Four’s, an ARC Classic 60, and ARC SP-14, A California Audio CD player and my current Well-Tempered turntable with a Clavis cartridge. The Acoustats were underpowered with the ARC in the syste...

jafreeman ....Yes, I couldn’t agree with you more. It is the gear THAT GETS US CLOSER TO THE MUSIC. And that’s the whole point of the hobby, or should be at least. As long as the goal is to get us as close as possible to the actual event, live mus...

^^^ Geoff ... I believe that there exists a certain percentage of "audiophiles" who really don't care so much about the music, but more about equipment and bling. Have you ever met the type that has a system that may have cost upwards of 200k, and...

Stereophile Magazine question.
After 35+ years as a subscriber, I'm not renewing my subscription. I'll stay with TAS, but that's it. Frank 
Novel approach to tackle Speaker Vibrations?
Adding weight to the tops of speakers can be quite effective. I’ve done this for years. If you check out my listening room, you’ll see heavy granite slabs the exact dimensions of the speaker tops placed on top of the speakers. I also added some he... 
Reference Recordings

thecarpathian ...Thanks. All of my friends and family came through okay. Very close on a few though. Nice to see you posting here. :-)jmolsberg ...You should experience a nice jump in SQ at the four-week point, and then again at the eight-week poi...
