What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?
If, we want to listen to music in our home, and we are unable to bring in people to perform, then we require a system of some kind to be able to do that. Some, don't give a flying what that is played on - iPhone speaker.Some, care what that is pla...

Holographic Soundstage ?
The most 3D speakers I have ever heard, are my ESL-57's.Limitations? For sure! (Everything has it's limitations...)I was listening to them when I first got them after having built some new legs for them and getting them set up "properly".Was liste...

Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
Could be remembering incorrectly, but I think the Marantz 2230 I just restored has 5 fuses in total.Decisions, decisions... 
Speakers The single most critical component
This is the point where I wish I could bring speakers home, audition them here and find the ones that have great synergy with my room as is. And great sounding speakers in an untreated room, could, repeat could, sound better in the same room if tr...

@audition__audio Low impedances,  certainly are not my preferred scenario. When I brought my ESL-57's home, and looking at the impedance curve, I was a bit concerned with what I drove them with. If given the option of what impedance speaker I woul... 
Speakers The single most critical component
