Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
sokogear,You are like a 5 year old child, making an analogy to a literal rocket scientist, on how rockets works ... To people who actually know what they are talking about, that is how you sound. Does that analogy bother you?

Matched for output level on a high frequency test sweep. If the azimuth is off, you will get left to right output level variations as the frequency changes at high frequencies.

I know many people who track their Porsches who would not consider themselves "Porschephiles". They would consider themselves "autophiles". The Porsche is just their tool of choice right now, sometimes just for that day, as they often have other s...

Oh no Miller, I could see you coming a mile away, and you think your logic is perfect of course, but you can’t see the forest for the trees. Porschephile means exactly lover of "Porsches", not the man who has long been dead, but the cars themselve...

Bit hard to follow the conversation to know if any conclusions were reached:Magnified, the grooves in a turntable may look straight, but they are still curved with the record which causes the cross-talk from one channel to be higher than the other...

This is how silly your overall position is, and even bringing Porschephile into the discussion. What exactly does that mean?  Does owning a Porsche and being a member of PCA mean anything other than you have the resources to buy a Porsche (and eve...

Again ... the stunning lack of self awareness ... is well ... stunning:although excluding the ones who wish they had a turntable or can't hear well anymore, or use digital because of convenience (but understand what they are missing out on), I d... 
Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?
One suggestion I have is a bass array. A bass array will smooth out room nodes, which means not having big bass peaks near the walls ... i.e. getting into the neighbors units. This may give you some practical volume extension while being neighbor ... 
Switch from AB to D
Class A/B amplifiers in an AV receiver are usually not biased that high, so the amount of power they draw just sitting there is not very high. What is your power concern? Heat? Electricity bills? 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
That is a pretty shocking display of lack of self awareness. THIS WHOLE POST is a personal attack on everyone who does not agree with you. THE WHOLE PREMISE OF YOUR THREAD is a personal attack on everyone who does not agree with you. The only way ...

Thank you rauliruegas, I couldn't have said it better, and often try, but too many audiophiles just don't want to listen nor accept that it is the imperfection of vinyl and the analog signal processing they like, not necessarily the accuracy, thou...

What condition is it, that no matter the discussion, you always bring up the same argument whether it applies or not?  I wasn't feeling quite 100% last night. It must have been that low pressure depression over Kansas. There is no way it was the b... 
Measuring line noise and power conditioners
When you say the EMOTIVA did not work, do you mean it did not reduce the measured value much?  
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
No geoffkait, you are only discrediting yourself. I doubt you will ever see that though. Those that buy into your abuse and deflections are lost anyway, but they don't represent anywhere near the majority. It appears you have never really grown up...

And magic pebbles man goes with (a) just as expected. Without the ability to support their selfish attention seeking posts with a reasoned approach, the usual path for certain people is to resort to insults. It is pretty much the first indicator t...
