Thanks, jerrbj Recently, I upgraded the wiring in the Revolution Be's crossovers to the drivers plus connectors to crossovers, plus creating a new set of jumper cables with Furutech cable.  I also crimped the crossover board with Mortite to deade...

Hi. sheridanmartinj You and I are peers of exact same age, and quite possibly, share the same digital Tech skills.  In the late 90's I concluded that chasing great sound in both vinyl and digital worlds was financially unsustainable.  I opted for... 
WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?

Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
holmz...a fair retort, indeed.  We married late, Mary and I, and a close friend gave us a book depicting photos of people around the world placing the entire contents of their possessions in front of their dwellings, as a wedding present.  We inde...

roxy54...the topic is "listening chair."  His love-seats are still available for showtime and the camp recliner easily folds and stows...ready for his go-time in vinyl mono, two channel and 11.3 surround.  Pin

Why do hipsters prefer analog?
Well, a topic such as this, is there truly much to be learned, larry5729?  Maybe the progression might read:  tubed radios, wire recorder, reel-to-reel,  Victrola w/turntable, 8-track, cassette, stand-alone-turntables & receiver, separates...t...

Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism
blueranger, Another shout-out for experimentation with inexpensive Vibrapods and Vibracones under gear.  "CAUTION"...they leave marks.  A playing-card layer works.  Do indeed pay strict attention to the weight load placed upon each individually n... 
objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
After plowing through this heavy intro, I'm reminded of something my concise, low impact Forester pal, Sam, once observed on a road trip.  In passing by a lovely stone fence in rural Maine, Sam says, "Now, there's a feller with lots of time on his... 
Empirical Evidence?...the gap between subjective and objective
Thanks, viridian and nonoise ... Your feedback has spurred my thinking.  Having grown-up around live music, the improvement of even tiny increments in that direction, for me, loom large.  Through the tunnel-vision of my logic, I've assumed those ...
