are any of your friends audiophiles?
Gawdbless, I used to race catamaran sailboats. If you want to see crazies with a passion, you should see sailboat racers. In the big boats they talk about less expensive tweaks as those costing less than $100,000. It was not that expensive at my l... 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
Saygrr, I share your experiences. I have known many who used to even attend shows who either now have home theaters or just don't listen at all. For at least two it is the decline in their hearing that may explain this.I have gotten accustomed to ... 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Carlos, it is not the case that I am advocating the teleportation tweak or Magic Pebbles. I found a benefit from the teleportation tweak and with regards to the Magic Pebbles, initially heard nothing, then with a quite different placement found gr... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
I stopped suspending my speakers when I bought the 350 pound per side Duntech Sovereigns.

Carlos,I have even posted an inquiry about the Tempo. Recently, I received another email from them saying that the first production units would be available in Sept. It sounds like you must have experience with the early prototype units. I once ha... 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
If you mean friends in town, the answer is no. While I greatly value listening to music and miss it greatly when I travel, I am not a musician. I had one physician neighbor who had a fortune in audio equipment that was dominant in his living room....

One thing that is good about the AudioAsylum site is that there can be no thread highjacking. The threads are gone too fast.

Herman, I am a private member who has been in audio for 40 plus years. Bill Feil is a dealer who has a interest in what people say about products, in particular those which he does not sell. I never did a review of Mr. Kait's tweak, but he did app...

Carlos, frankly I do not believe you have any degree in physics, which by the way was one of my undergraduate degrees. I would believe an engineering degree, in particular in EE, where you are taught that all is know about electronics. And as far ...

Bingo, Carlos, I choose not to participate any further is such nonsensical discussions, which are really pseudo-science lectures. You sir are the one saying things that would suggest our understandings of physical phenomena are complete and that n...

Carlos, had you not included the required answer question about what makes the Acrolink cable better, I would merely have blown off your incorrect statements about old American tubes versus new tubes. Basically, you are wrong in saying that microp... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
HiFisoundguy, when I had Beauhorns which have no crossover, I ran solid silver wires from the single driver to the outside of the binding post. I then put the spade of the speaker cables directly on it and use the lug of the binding post as a nut ... 
Isoclean power bars
Kdbg00, I have a 106 Power Bar and had an 80A3. I have seen the 105F and the ICP 204 Power Bar. The 106 Power Bar just contains three double outlets in the solid copper box. Each level up includes more filtering with the 80A3 being the top filteri... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Hifisoundguy, very interesting. You know that the guys at MicroOmega think that insulation is of great detriment to sound. They would argue that putting teflon around anything is a no-no. But I will try what you suggest. How do you hold the teflon... 
Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?
Jeffrey, I guess I should be happy that you got it partially right. Given that you have a bias to misperceive everything that I say, this is all I can expect. Your apology is accepted.
