ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
@kennyc  #calvin@calvinj  "Sonics are more important than measurements. Measurements alone do not tell if one subjectively likes the sonics vs other choices. Best to listen for yourself "                                                         ...

@puptent  Just curious; Why would Omega watch wearers be sensitive?  
McIntosh early C20 brass bar faceplate restoration
I looked up pictures of the C20, and it seems that you might have other problems. First, you will lose all of the lettering, and how will you get that back? Second, I'm pretty sure that it's not brass, but some sort of anodized coating on aluminum... 
Can you touch the tubes?
@dekay  That group should be named The Douchettes.  
Can you touch the tubes?
Some say that if you touch them with bare skin the oil gets into the glass, but I doubt that too. I will say that it's a bad idea to touch 845 tubes when they're hot!🤬  
Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker.
She's partially right for sure, but there's some fun in the OCD practices, and the rest of the story is that your tinkering does produce positive results, but she is not tuned in to fine sonic nuances, because it's not her area of interest.   
Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100?
These are the best I have ever owned, including a $900 set of Kimber Select. Beautifully made and well balanced from top to bottom. Carbon Fiber Rhodium-plated Plug | Carbon Fiber Signal Cable | Carbon Fiber Rca Cable - Audio & Video Cables -... 
What to do with my dad's old Revel Performa F50's?
Good advice from several here. Did your dad try to modify the speakers in any way? It seems strange that there would be damage to the rubber surrounds which are usually pretty durable, and then there is the missing paint on the front of a couple o...

@calvinj A whisper can be more effective than a shout. Some people enjoy being contrary I suppose, even if it makes them appear ignorant.  
ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
@calvinj  You have the right to feel that way, and I share your distaste for most of those things. As far as using all caps, I think that is silly and improper. Why do you do it?  
ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
@thecarpathian  That's funny! And he was asking me if I had two threads deleted!

@jacobsdad2000 Not on this thread or any other that I can recall recently. No offense taken.

@calvinj  "ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?" By the tone of your thread, it sounds like you might ne.  
Finally arrived !!
I recognize them a Crimson amps which I saw a pair of on USAudiomart for sale once. They are an unusual shape. I'm guessing that the speakers are triamplified or something like that. I didn't notice wires. I figured that the one on the other table... 
How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing?
I have to agree with @soix , because I've been in the same situation myself with a pair of Focus Audio towers from Canada. I regret the time that I wasted trying to make them work in my room with my system, and all because they had great reviews a...
