Neil Young - Guitarist
You can’t rank one’s own emotions against that of others.And it pretty well comes down to that.Trying to get logical on an emotional subject is a generally a recipe for disaster.Audio forums are full of attack and vitriol partially due to this ver... 
TT mats
All I know, is that I never should have sold my NIB Sumiko methacrylic/lead/barium mat.I never used it, as it was a one shot deal, due to the adhesive layer on the back. Once on the platter, that's it. And if you use an LP12, like I do, the two pi...

What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you?
about 3db, is the difference....but it generally seems like more.I'm messing with a DC capable amp that can put out an approx 1.5 horsepower (1100watts) into the 4 ohm speaker load I'm running. Custom skaaning drivers, and so on. I'm kinda scared,... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
When I saw this, I knew, again..that Neil is a superb guitar player. A mature player, one well seated into his skills. Which are very much on display.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skJddbSJQjA 
Have you ever met another audiogon member in person?
I am partially German. I thought I had control of all rights to run on sentences. Apparently not. :P 
Dan D'Agostino Helius dual monoblocks, 1500w @ 8ohms
That’s an old issue, nearly 10 years old. ’Recently recalled’, on a 10 year old design.Eg, that would never really happen in most other consumer industries - that would be end of life stuff that is expected. We know that we expect longer lifespans...

10x higher price for 10% greater quality.That's the equation for just about everything technological and it also holds true in audio. 
re capping
Depends on what the crossover looks like. If it is all film caps, then no need to do anything at all. If there are electrolytics, well, the brand and type may be critical to the sound of the unit. Same for the film caps. The brand type (model and ... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
@teo-audio"go to Walmart and buy a $19.99 DVD player or a .50 bar of soap" excuse me? What arrogant and entitled person you are. Disgusted to be sharing this hobby with you. Yes, I am an horrible and evil man. But I learned from the best. I on... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
It’s case of small runs of custom and sometimes quite unique manufacturing.You can’t have exclusive impossible to find products (compared to lets say a salt shaker, or keyboard, or coffee table) somehow priced as a mass market item.As well, costs ... 
Balanced cables
Recording studio’s and recording engineer’s could care less about hypo/cryo nonsense. I find it amazing that we all buy our vinyl and CD’s from companies whose master tape CD’s and master tape vinyl sound fabulous and guess what, just about all of... 
lessloss blackbody
Well, it was the data on blackbody radiation that made me think of the less loss device..and then I decided to post that bit about proofs.So I found a less loss thread..and posted it therein.As in, less loss is not crazy..but..ahead the curve.

Buying an item from Canada
The cut-off for import into canada, for duties taxes and brokerage fees, is $20cdn. anything over that and you get the whole thing thrown at you.The same for import into the USA, is $200US. anything valued lower than that just goes through like re...
