"Dismissal. Arrogance. Ignorance. Disrespect. Most of these come with age and experience, as well as a healthy skepticism for things with extreme price tags."Hot news flash. These are precisely the personality defects one is supposed to leave beh... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@OP   Back to the blind test, as per your request.Not exactly a blind test, but this example is close enough. Been building a LOT of speakers during the past year with a friend. We tune them (damping/stuffing/crossover) first based on what we have...

@inna 300k is a heck of a lot of money for a component. It could be argued that those very few who have the means to buy these ultra high end products are taking the manufacturers R&D to new levels as they realize these products. There is alwa...

@edgewoundtootightly    You remind me of someone who was once spewing the same rhetoric, kenjit seem to remember his name though. So simple. Now, how about adding an animated feature film to your list of fantasies - just use your super duper compu...

Again, I agree.There is a tremendous divide when it comes to how much people can apply to their system.Having said that, this is a High End website, and as such, anyone who comes to any website that is a forum to discuss any high end item/activity...

@inna I agree, suspect I wouldn't be setting up a million dollar system if I had the means either :)But, I'm not going to place judgement on someone who does as so many seem to like to do.(Not saying you are...) No skin off my teeth what someone d...

From what I gather, these were never intended to be a production speaker, they were meant for himself and a handful of friends. Here was someone who had spent their life building and designing speakers, why wouldn't he want to build the precursors... 
How far over the limit can I go
Oh the joy of tubes.Was just listening to a copy of Joni Mitchells "Mingus"I picked up earlier today.Last track on side two.Distortion.Thought I had a bad pressing.Lifted the arm, played the last track again to see. Left channel dead.Checked to se...

Now, I have no idea what kind of computer you are using, or what it’s main purpose is, but I am going to guess its a home type computer?Most likely not the kind of high performance machine required to do computer animation or any other high math d...

Form follows function.I can see why some may not like the look of them, but they are speakers. Speakers make sound...And given the price of these, 99.999999% of amps are already ruled out. What are you wanting to do, drive them with a charming vin... 
Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl?
@dekay Nice.

Like many, platter height is higher - 50" up. Lets me see what I'm doing without having to bend over. Bad back, neck and right rotator cuff. I clean everything I get, then sleeve record in Mofi sleeves. Put the album cover in a plastic outer, and ...
