Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs
Roxy54, I take no offense at all. Basically I agree with what you say. Mine is mainly a curiosity about why this cost escalation. Certainly I know that parts quality is up and that so is their cost. Also, most of the innovative products seem to be... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Rok2id, actually it is just the opposite. In science you seek to reject the 'null' hypothesis, which in this case is that direction makes no difference in terms of another variable. Our only problem is that we don't have another variable. If it we... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Rok2id, either a fuse's direction makes a difference or not. What evidence do you present that it doesn't? Is saying that electrical engineering says it cannot top people who say they can hear one? You may think so, but I don't. You may act as tho... 
Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs
Roxy54, there are many protests about reviews of costly components; there are many reviews of costly components; but that doesn't mean there should be such reviews.I do suspect that most reviewers would rather review more expensive components.With... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Calloway, my experience thus far is only with the top-of-the-line Ultimate Reference Rhodium, but after about two hours you think it is really great, but you are only part of the way. Mine are nearly a month old and still getting better. I would s... 
How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC?
John Tucker of Exemplar Audio has long believed that the major failing of dac is that their output stage is no good. The Oppo 105 is a perfect example. I got to compare a stock unit with the Exemplar unit with a complete replacement of the Oppos o...

Advantages of monoblocks
Simao, I am presently using the LSA Statement amp in its present condition. Earlier it was called the Statement Plus. I also own a pair of BMC M2 monoblocks. Here to fore, I have preferred the M2s over the LSA Statement, but one of my M2s stopped ...

Rok2id, I know you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Audiolabyrinth, no I do not use a full loom. HFC does not make a USB digital cable, nor do I have a set of phono cables. I do have a pair of RCA to XLR adapters that would allow me to have his UR phono cables but frankly I cannoot afford them yet.... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Rok2id, I don't think you mean, "misunderstanding of the basics of electrical theory.* I think you mean the basic understanding that allows designers to do working circuits.I know there is a good deal of trial and error in design and that even the... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Almarg, it is mainly this statement to which I would take great exception, "especially those that defy technical understanding." I'm sure Einstein's theory face many who saw what he said as defying technical understanding. Were there any possibili... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Jafox, Remember what I said about avoiding hearing the $1790 BMC PureDac. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Jafox, I am now 75 and been at this for over 50 years. Now I don't wait for anything. Full speed ahead. Don't listen to the Ikeda 9TT cartridge or the BMC PureDac. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Jafox, while I agree with you about the price, my strong advice to you is do not ever listen to these cables, including the $1600 for 1.5 m. original CT-1s.
