The "D" word...Has audio ever caused it?
Stereokarter, my hobby has not yet caused a divorce from my wife: we both work, have separate bank accounts, pay 50/50 on communal things, but she uses her personal funds for high-end fashion (she just came back from Paris with Yoshi Yamamota outf... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Caterham1700, I was wondering where those isolation shelves came from! Nice work. 47 labs had them all resting directly on the floor (no rack at all). Did you intend them to be used this way? Besides visually reinforcing the idea of simplicity, I ...

47 Labs OTA POWER CABLES next? Shunyata owner's desperately trying to sell of their King Cobra's for a power cable a little thicker than the "fishing line" mentioned above? Redkiwi, Dekay, Brulee, Kitch29 describing in minute detail the very notic...

Mhubbard, I think of A Salvatore as a "romantic of lucid disappointment." ... Detlof, glad you got the Siemens Geräte I smuggled in and that you are now safe and sound. 
10 sonically best rock recordings ?
These are recordings that I enjoy and whose sound quality is excellent to superb. In no particular order:1.) P.J. Harvey, To Bring You My Love (one of the producer Flood's best recordings, but some tracks are highly compressed) 2.) John Parish &am... 
Review: PWX power supply for Black Cube
Sdcampbell, thanks, I think you answered all of my questions without knowing that what I meant by PC was "power cord." (Confusing abbreviation, which can also mean "politically correct.") From a sales perspective, it is strange that Lehmann is com... 
Review: PWX power supply for Black Cube
Thanks for your nice review of the PWX. Did you notice any more inner detail with the PWX? What cartridge and turntable were you using when testing? What PC did you use on the PWX? (Is the unit highly PC dependent?) What is your system? How long d...

Thank you Katharina. This is getting more serious every minute. An inside source (I bribed a prison guard with a Power Snake, saying "you can't get these in Switzerland, can you?") tells me that the sound from the prison is actually the warm-up fo...

Stereokarter, Albert actually plays an inconspicuous but not insignificant role in the "web of fate" encircling Detlof right now: we must never forget the small detail of Albert shipping Detlof a bottle of RR (what is this code for? we can only gu...

Detlof: your warden told me today: "Not a day goes by, without the guards complaining about D. First, there was the 12 hours of you acting really trashed, laying in the corner begging for some "serotininereuptakeinhibitors" then the vomiting, and ... 
Priorities, who makes the rules anyway?
J, I completely agree. And, what is more, for this very reason, I do not have a car. I take the train or subway--I live in a big European city, it's easy--or I drive my wife's FIAT (but this happens only once a year). To put the household economy ...

Gregm, 30,000 USD for the Scantech. With your budget, you better stick with the Spectral Limited Edition Phono: another con ... (what did I say? I am starting to sound like Detlof) connoisseur BARGAIN at $15,000. Why doesn't a very wealthy agoner ... 
Audiomecca Mephisto
A great component modifier has the ability to compress into a few hours a transformation of circuits that originally required years for their development. On most Japanese mass-market CD players, for instance, one can significantly upgrade the sou... 
Cables, a case history of an Agnostic
What in the Ensemble Megaflux FSF made you a believer? Its "film shielded force" construction? Its speed? Its enormous, contoured bass? The homogeneity and neutrality of its mids? The stress-free highs? Enjoy the hours of listening ahead of you. M...
