Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon?
Yes. Slow to load for the last couple of days here as well. Tom  
Maybe someone can enlighten me.
+2 @audphile1 Nicely put. Tom  
Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…?
Sounds to me like you have noise entering into your system. A Snake River Audio Cottonmouth PC on one component would tame this. Alternatively, a Vera-Fi Snubway or MC A/C line conditioner combo would definitely clean up some of the noise.  You w... 
Subwoofer tweaks
Rythmik F-25's owner here. While I have tried and heard many a sub throughout my audio journey, here are some observations/thoughts I wouldn't mind sharing with you this afternoon.  I prefer front firing, sealed subs. Adjustments to the mains, a...

Snake River Audio Signature and Signature AMps series power cords.
@jafox - Congratulations on the purchase of the Takshaka PC’s. What reference PC’s are they going up against, if you do not mind me asking?  I have a full loom (minus SC’s but they will be coming as funds allow) of all Takshaka’s for all primary ... 
Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass?
Eh, kind of the unspoken aspect or requirement, but agreed. If we are to go there, then please allow me to add "Full range".  Tom  
Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass?
Tight as a knat's posterior. Any boom, timing issues, slop, overponderance or slowness is unacceptable.  Tom

If you are going from a Delta Sigma DAC to say, an R2R DAC, in this case (IMO/IME) - The DAC may make a bigger difference. When I first tried Jonny’s Signature PC’s, it was the first time I actually considered a PC an actual "component".  Fast fo... 
Revelation Audio Labs (RAL) - Buyers Beware!
IME with Brad, and based upon this thread and other clients of his over the years is this -  He makes a great product (I bought umbilicals for my MF KW-750), when compared to stock. Other reviews and comments from folks I know and have read abou... 
Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
Well, not completely dark. There was the kitchen light that shined through the full window door off to the left of the setup. The illusion of what was heard was flat out, special. This was just a crazy setup we created out of leftover gear at an a... 
Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
A book could literally be written about some of the questions presented in the last two posts. Near field is something that I have done before, but isn’t my typical listening style. It can sound fantastic, and has, especially when there are no sid... 
CDP Clock Replacement - did you upgrade yours ???
I actually lost the Marantz SA7S1 SACD/CDP and DAC combo and went for a transport/clock and DAC combo, then upgraded the cables. Yes, it was a complete change (with the exception of the DAC) and the end result was more than well worth it. The CDP ... 
Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
When a system performs so superbly, even if your eyes are open and you have visual cues and a true 3-D experience? When a system makes you want to close your eyes to experience even more?  That's when you know you are listening to a stellar syste... 
Best RCA Digicable
Even better than the Boomslang (by a far margin)? The Snake River Audio Takshaka digital cable. Incredible sonics and sense of calm, even during heavy passages.  Tom
