Directional cables - what does that really mean?
jetter, (and to all)The human ear is like a diode. In the most serious way. We only hear the leading edges of transients and micro-transients and their interrelations in time and level. The rest, the ear does not hear, in the literal sense. The ci... 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
That’s true, but it might open another bag of worms. In current designs filter leaves about 1% of switching noise on the speaker cable. It is only small percentage but of very high value, reaching 100V - making it approx. 1V peak switching noise ... 
Your favourite music movie?
Love & a .45 It impressed Oliver Stone so much.... that he rushed out and made ’natural born killers’. ’Love & a .45’ is the funner, funnier, hipper, more alt film...more sublime version of ’Natural Born Killers’.The kind of film... where ...

Job SYS closed business

How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
No matter how hard we humans try to be objective, in the end we fall well short. (Just rant, not directed at anyone in particular)  Of course, objectivity cannot and does not exist anywhere in the human world. By all possible forms of human log... 
Why so many Berkeley DACs for sale right now?
Having had some long drawn out conversations about some tech considerations (brainstorming), with one of the people at Berkeley, a number of years back: I can say with strong confidence that Berkeley will very likely not issue a product with even ... 
binding post replacement nuts
Mostly everything is imported now, especially small machined bits like a binding post. They will very likely be metric, as the USA is the last SAE (inches, feet, etc) country in the world, IIRC. Some metric sizes have a coarse and fine thread, so ... 
Re-tipped phono cartridges
I would not say it is one side or the other. Too many variables. Only a comparison of the two via listening and looking at what has been done in the specific cartridge in hand... some measurements, and then look at the two points as a set..and the... 
I see a lot of Chinese MBL6010D knock offs
It's just the clone that is popular at the moment.coulda been Mark Levinson, coulda been Krell, coulda been Dartzeel... coulda been.....wait..it has been one of those as the circuit of the moment, over the years of eBay Chinese copies..
