So, when did Guy Lombardo’s singers ever sing about hate? Yeah, I know ... who’s Guy Lombardo?Frank 
Hotel Room Confessions - Best Sound at a Show?
A few years ago, I heard a system that was put together by Randy Cooley, owner of Optimal Enchantment in Santa Monica, California. It consisted of the most expensive Vandersteen speakers, big mono amps from ARC and all of ARC’s reference goodies. ... 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Gaters and Pasters ... Listened to this last night. Exceptional vibes and tenor. The sound is amazing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cal-Tjader-Sextet-with-Stan-Getz-CD-Jun-1990/273742547501?epid=3056398&hash=item3fbc53ca2d:g:ULAAAOSwAE9cfCLn I b... 
What’s really hurting the audio hobby?
What's ruined it? Hand-held phones and ear-buds. None of my daughters, or their grown kids own an audio system ... no CD player, let alone a turntable and records. They think I'm nuts.Frank 
Deleted all posts and responses
True, deleting posts does mess up the continuity of the threads. What's the purpose of it??Frank 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
lak ...You're welcome, Lak. The last time I tried the Herbie's mat, I had yet to install PPT's "The Gate," their "Stop Its," and the SR "Orange" fuses. I didn't detect the shortcomings of Herbie's mat listed above. In fact, I reported at the tim... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
My friend Robert came over last night and we gave the Herbie's "Super Black Hole CD Mat" a workout. We a/b/a tested a number of CDs. In each case, the Herbie's mat degraded the sound. It had a dulling effect, in that the highs were obscured, and a... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
rodman99999 ...I'd love to see you experiment with the new Synergistic Research ORANGE fuse and report your findings here. At $159.99 it's a bargain in my estimation. And ... there's that generous 30-day guarantee to consider as well.Frank

Perfect Path Technologies - "Stop It" AC Duplex passive line conditioners
^^^  tuffy72561...Clever experiment, tuffy. I think I'll do the same trial run for my TV system. I've been getting some positive feedback via PMs from A'gon members who are using the "Stop It" duplex plugs. Good stuff, for sure. As a side note, I... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
^^^Georgie-Porgie has one major flaw ... its called "lack of credibility." He constantly accuses me, and others, of being a "shill" for SR, and as of this date, he has not responded, nor even acknowledged the post I made earlier in this thread:g... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Why wouldn't an exhibitor at a trade show trick out the system a little bit? This is nothing new. The rooms are hard enough to get sounding right, so every little bit helps. I remember the first time I heard the ARC REF-75 with the KT150s installe...
