Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile.
Randy, I've done that many many times; Class "A" is quite often infinitely more expensive than Class "B". While you can mix and match components to come up with Class "B" sound; to come up with Class "A" sound, you must have all Class "A" compone...

Now I'm gathering material for This DIY panel. There was a fabric store right around the corner, but it left during the last slowdown; how many slowdowns have we had?I should be able to get the rest of the stuff from "Home Depot".        http://a...

Dave, when you say wife and drapes, the word "remove" had better not enter the conversation;  "new" drapes are all that's allowed.  No matter now, since I found a relatively easy DIY that I'm going to install, and all will be well in this audiophi...

The dummy got a brain!When I noticed the left channel, right channel disparity, it was over two years ago. First I corrected it by simply turning the left volume higher. Not satisfied with that, I went through a year of trouble shooting to find ...

My apology to everyone, especially Rok for being unaware of "Sharon Jones". For most of my life I have been "exclusively" into jazz.          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlPE1rEdAdIIt's for sure I heard music, and was entertained by musicians...

Ahmad Jamal is heavily represented on my play list. If I remember correctly, Rok dropped out when I put the "Spotlight" on Ahmad Jamal; but, the old memory ain't what she used to be.Presently, I'm enjoying everyone else's links so much, that I do...

Like you said Dave "They ain't cheap". I know they work, but it's for sure I should call and chat for awhile. My problem on the surface, or what it appears to be, is a more powerful right channel, but I know it's the room acoustics causing the p...

I didn't realize the full round and the half round are almost the same price, I might as well get the full round.I'll call and order Monday, I'm just going to get one piece. If you can think of anything I might need to know before then, drop a li...

I can tell from"Yellow Bell", that Oregon has good recording quality; it was about that time they realized how important such things are.I am enjoying the music.

OK Dave, we'll keep it here and pick your brain.http://www.acousticsciences.com/products/tube-trapThat's the place we'll refer to.I'm going to start with the half round 4ft tube trap to get an idea how they work; after that I'll look for way's to ...

Dave, I'm so curious about those room treatments, that I think we should start another thread titled "Room Treatments" in order to get more ideas on that subject.  If you start one, I'll be one of your loyal followers. 
Class D Technology
I'm very curious about Class "D" amps. No I've never heard one. How does Class "D" compare to SS? I'm a tube guy who has not heard the very best SS amps, but I did hear an ARC SS that I didn't like.If a person prefers SS to tubes in general, hi...

Ghosthouse, I'm surprised that you liked "Bright Mississippi", but it encompasses many cultures and goes back a long way; a wide range of people like it, that indicates how broad that "Nawlins" thing is.I just found "Ancient Future"; their music i...

Melbguy1, I was using Stereophile's rating system as a means to communicate levels of audio quality that was represented by names like ARC, CJ, and Naim, to name a few. I'm glad you brought up something that I was unaware of, but this thread is n...

I hope you're enjoying "Shadofax"; I'll peruse my collection and see what else I can find by them.While my collection might be 90% "jazz jazz", even steak everyday would get boring; this side trip is proving to be quite interesting.Enjoy the music.
