Charles ...I stopped listening to Miles when he entered the "fusion" era. One of my favorite miles album is the original mono release on Columbia that I found in a used record store back in the early 70's. I think that's the era the author was all...

nonoise ...I have a "friend" like that too. The last time he heard my system, I had to endure two hours of him telling me how crappy my system sounded. Some folks just have no social filter, I guess. Funny thing is, we both have the same model of ...

^^^ When Michael Fremer did his factory tour of the Audio Research plant, part of the tour was a visit into ARC's listening room and an interview with ARC's chief listener Warren Gehl.  Part one:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a58bDqQQ-xYPart t...

Grannyring ...I have a friend who does exactly what you suggested with hard-wiring.  I haven't heard his system as he lives in Utah and I live in California. But, he tells me about these improvements all the time. In fact, he's the friend who chan...
