The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity!
So, Eric (and all).... you’ll probably get one guy who seems to type some words that are with you. Since we can only get about 10% of the necessary social fabric coming through via the typed word, and we fill in the rest, as it comes from ourselve... 
The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity!
Why let a word knock one around when one can grow up instead? Why push one's solitary and personal opinion upon others.. as if they have to eat it- and then they reflect it back -- in order to validate the self? 20 years of isolation of persons in... 
Step down transformers for japanese gear
120VAC to 100VAC is not the most common conversion, so choices are limited.Check out the one mentioned earlier in this thread, re the 220V to 100VThat transformer (or product range) may be strappable to 120VAC in.. to get down to a 100VAC out.  
What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in?
Usually I’m not amused by the bickering.... but today I’m having a bit of a larf. For a few minutes, anyway. Old men sniping one another. Soon it will change a bit and be old men sniping one another via ancient versions of counterstrike, COD, etc.  
Quick and free fuse tweak
If you chew the peyote, you might find yourself fiddling with tape. For hours. 
How does wood hardness affect the sound of a TT on a wood TT platform?
The most vibrationally sensitive device in the world is suspended on glass strings, so to speak. Any guesses as to what device it is? 
Quick and free fuse tweak
Many transformers are sold by the manufacturers of the product, with rubber like pads. in the case of toroidals, a top and bottom pad. with the mounting plate and bolt. exhibit a       And, in the older days, ie, mid to early 80’s... pioneer, jvc,... 
I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone
No Tesla’s mentioned? Just gas guzzlers? 
What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio?
First opener for me was hearing a properly setup system of Linn LP-12/Mark Levinson/Magnepan at Audio Concepts in Houston in the early 80s. I was in my 20s, had component systems since age 15, and still remember thinking how amazing it sounded.Di... 
KD 500 w/ Grace 707 arm. Stylus type.
It’s kinda like saying that I’ve got this car I’m going to drive it but there is no way I’m going to even touch the steering wheel.... the very nature of driving requires that you at least learn the controls. Turntables are much the same. To reach... 
Fans on amps.
I do it my way, you do it yours. My particular 12VDC fan with the 4.1vdc power supply has been running for over 12 years. 24/7. Yes, is a fine example, not an outlier. But the power supply and fan were decided upon --together. Tested. Those number... 
Fans on amps.
I run a fan on an amp at such a low rpm and airflow rate, that if it’s power supply is unplugged, it stalls out. It’s a small 12V fan running at approx 4.1V DC. When I plug it in, I have to touch one of the vanes to start it by hand. That is what ... 
Cable lengths
Teo has to manufacture, by hand, each individual bit of length of cable. We give a price break for longer cables..due to people expecting it...but our complexities of build are unlike any other cable. 
Directional cables - what does that really mean?
When you're one step ahead of the crowd you're a genius. When you're two steps ahead, you're a crackpot. --Shlomo Riskin  I'm with you on all of that Geoff. Problem is, it is 2-3-4-5 steps ahead for the vast majority of people. And you'll get the... 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
This example suggests that it is far better to form opinion after listening to particular amp than making blank statements about whole class D. I’m making blanket statements about all of class D for a reason. A strong, stable, intelligent set of ...
