Innuos Zenith Mk3 Ultra-low Noise USB Audio Output, Really?
Motherboard, Mainboard, it’s 6 of one half a dozen of another to me - Dad joke? @soix +1   How do we suppose these invisible ones and zeros magically pass along conductive materials to arrive perfectly arranged at the other device? After the c... 
Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
@thyce - your line of thinking sits well with me. Introspective and reasoned. @ghdprentice  - It's interesting that you had a mind for value and delayed gratification when you were young in your career. I've been trying that out later in life, un...

@ted_denney I have a Master Coupler X2, just wanted to say despite the heat you're getting in here, I thank you for making good gear, I'm very happy with it. Some people are just hostile, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes they're just hostile...

@jpwarren58 - a Trekkie huh? Yeah, crazy talk no? Except when you read from enough credible people that it starts to make you seriously question the notion. Even I must admit, I understand the skepticism of those who have been in the spiked feet ...

The timbre/tonality of the fuse is dependent on the outside cap more than anything else, and there is room to play on that front. While I was up at MC audiophile weekend in Washington he applied some contact enhancer on the pins of the valves f...

Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
Currently I DIY my speakers....not the ’box’, the driver itself. As is said: Priceless. @asvjerry - I’m guessing you’ve gone straight from internal speaker wire to the tinsel leads for the motor? I have been told that Bybee clarifiers that magn...

To consider the Earth round, well it’s just a little bit two dimensional for me. Oddly spherical, that’s more my speed. @oldhvymec - mate, you’re funnier than a hat full of tits and bums. Funnier than my bird and vagrant jokes, that’s for sure. ...

@ted_denney - Well I pick no bones about having an objectivist approach to some things in my system, things I understand (or like to think I understand). I’m not merely stating this to be contentious, I’m sharing a difference of opinion. Measur...
