WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
I would love to have a pair of Wilson speakers.  I have heard them in someone's home a few times and several times in different stores over the last few decades.  They sound wonderful.  The resale value shows what these speakers are worth.  A big ... 
Wilson Alexx V
I know it is a competitive business but I wonder what type of development work speaker manufacturers do and how much they spend on R&D.  I imagine a lot of the work is simply hours of listening to the speakers since measurements cannot tell th... 
What is the correct way to use the Zerostat?
I saw a video showing the effectiveness of different methods using the  Zerostat gun earlier today.  I have had my Zerostat since the early 80s.  Seems I have been using it wrongly all of these years.  The new process that I have adopted seems to ...

Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound?
Hi Calvinandhobbes,I'm curious to know what you did to improve the sound of your Streamer S2 Ultra out of the box. 
Ayon Stealth DAC or Ayon Stealth XS DAC
I just purchased the Ayon Stealth XS and the CD-T II together.  I received them one week ago and I have not been able to stop listening since.  I am thrilled with my purchase.  I took a big chance buying this setup sight unseen.  Sure, I could ret...
