Ghasley,As far as I am aware, being of retirement age and having time on one's hands is not yet an indictable offense. It seems, by your lengthy rebuttals, that you have as much time on your hands as I have on mine.You stated, "After reading your ...

Ghasley,I have no connection with any audio company -- except as a customer. I have no bones to pick with either party here. In fact, the only issue I have ever had with either part is when I had a repair issue with an EMM product. I had it repair...

Ghasley,With all due respect, I believe most of what came out of the case was in favor of EMM. Please note that I stated "I was not impressed by what I read about Jonathan Tinn." If you read the court documents you may understand why. I believe th... 
Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks
Bryoncunningham,Your points are very well taken. You stated, "And I understand 'coloration' to mean 'audible inaccuracy.'" This is interesting. You seem to mean "the more color, the less accurate". If I understand you correctly, I would agree with...

Mt10425,Are you referring to wire assemblers? 
Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks
Mt10425,With all due respect, there must be at least 100 high end cable makers -- enough to fill more than 2 buses.

Bhobba,I am a bit shocked to learn of this. But not entirely surprised because I read the legal proceedings between Jonathan Tinn and EMM on the Internet. The matter was decided in favor of EMM. You can Google the court documents if wish to read t...

Ivan_nosnibor,This is an intriguing thought. All I can do is speculate. 
Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks
Ivan_nosnibor and Geoffkait,Your points are well taken. Using a so-called "loom" from one well-known cable maker turned into what I will politely call the wrong decision for my system. The claimed synergy was pale in comparison to what it was when... 
One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System
When I stated that the sound was awful -- thin and lifeless -- with the switch in Oyaide plugs, I should have clarified my statement. I did not say that the sound stage collapsed. It did not. I did not say that the holography disappeared. It did n... 
Tube Amps and Cabling
Pdreher, Rrog and Mechans,Thank you very much for your comments. They are most helpful.Pdreher,I am looking at the VAC Sigma 160i. I have Joseph Audio Pulsar monitors. I have read they are a good match with VAC amplifiers.

Nonoise,Your comments ring very true. If we look critically at reviews instead of accepting what is said at face value we can find all sorts of contradictions -- and ample evidence of outright manipulation. It has been mentioned many times that it...

Onhwy61,With all due respect, there is no hole anywhere -- except the hole that is perceived by those who wish to see one where there is none. There is just a lack of understanding by those who do not know what having a system based on using cable... 
One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System
Sebrof,With all due respect, my system did not sound "at the same time" both great and lifeless. How can a system sound like two opposites "at the same time"? This is impossible. Changing the plugs transformed the sound. And this happened at two d...

Mechans,Thanks for this observation. I will be rolling tubes soon and look forward to listening to the difference between various 6DJ8 tubes.
