I may be famous.  Then again, I may not!   E Schrödinger 
Cleanest CD recording to test with
It's important to note; CD quality can vary widely, between discs.   ie: My son has a copy of Roger Waters' Amused To Death, that presents a phenomenal amount of ambient info and imaging tricks(via QSound algorithms), when played on my system.  I ...

Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?
This thread is a HOOT(on a number of levels)! To me, there’s just something about a signal, that’s been passed through a vacuum(dare I use the term, "ELECTRON tube"?), rather than silicon. Not that I don’t have SS, in my system. And, I’m even a cl...
