How Music Protects The Aging Brain
This has been known for some time. It's safe to say that exercising the brain is necessary for overall health, but it won't prevent a possible predisposed condition-Glen Campbell?  Just like arthritic conditons, you can do all the exercise/diet ... 
They should charge more for it…
Just a few decades ago a $100K rig was thought obscene, so $320K isn’t shocking. The gold accents make the aesthetic cheap looking/tacky. Those with gold accents in their room will love it! Tech Das Zero is near $500K, so yeah GMT is a bargain c... 
DeVore O/96 Unboxing
Your  listening  space aesthetic is similar to mine. Yellow/white trim, wood floors. Windows are also alike. Nice speaker finish  choice. Enjoy them. Happy  listening.   
Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
Ozzy has been physically suffering for some time. He is now free to reunite  with Randy Rhoads for the Great Gig in the Sky. Parkinson’s is no joke- Ozzy was fortunate to afford a long ride- he was diagnosed in 2003.  
Analog Magic Question
Assuming you've made cartridge adjustments with the new software, are you hearing improvements?    
Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ?
Why does anyone need affirmation about their setup? The only thing to criticize here is the shaky video.    
LPS for Martin Logan ESL 9: Will it make a difference to the sound?
I'm sure your ESL9's sound great. Haven't heard them but with the reworked woofer arrangement, low end performance must be improved compared to Theos. I use 2 subs to make up for their bass shortcomings. Sbooster can improve in certain situation... 
LPS for Martin Logan ESL 9: Will it make a difference to the sound?
I use the predecessor to the ESL9-Theos. The major difference being the woofer cabinet, otherwise identical panel dimensions. The wall warts are just providing positive/negative voltage to the opposing stators. Doubtful. Placement/location is p... 
CD's or Vinyl?
1000's of used Rekkids and a Degritter- now go away.  
Cryogenic Treatment of Tubes, and why you should not.
For F1/Moto GP piston rods that must endure 15K RPM- sure. Vacuum tubes- another audiophool extravagance?🤣  
Decent backup cartridge
The $599 Soundsmith  Otello is my backup. https://www.sound-smith.com/cartridges/fixed-coil/otello Imagine what your Zephyr does well, but turned down a  notch. The mids/high are there,  but the bass impact is tempered-still convincing  and enj... 
EveAnna has sold her biz
No surprise it was just a matter of time. Earlier in the year, a  friend in the Industry said Manley has been dealing with a challenging market, especially these past few years. They were operating with a smaller staff and less operating  hours. ... 
I changed a Tube and…
Based on a quick check  center 12au7 is the gain for both channels. The other 2 are L/R are  driver and probably won't make  a noticeable difference.        
I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???
It's EASILY heard ONLY if you have this press, played on a Tech Das Zero w/ Etsuro Gold cartridge. https://www.discogs.com/release/2241197-Led-Zeppelin-Led-Zeppelin-III Seriously, at least on my modest rig and period US press it's subtle, but y... 
Help with TT for my System
You could probably negotiate 'all in price/shipping" for this Technics GAE UNDER $4K  https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbej73-technics-new-50th-anniversary-turntable-turntables With that and your nice system, you're done.
