Pacific Audio Fest
@shkong78 Thanks for these videos! The Voxativ / Spatial especially interesting in comparing the same presentation. I preferred the Voxativ, but not by much, and at 2 1/2 time more expensive, that puts the Spatial in a very good light.  
Tyler Acoustic speakers
The T2 looks very promising. Now what we need is a shootout between it and the Philharmonic BMR tower. (hint, hint)    
My experience with the First Watt F7
@audition__audio Whatever deficiencies you heard in the AGD room, I can assure people that they cannot be laid at the feet of the amp(s).  It was most likely the hotel room and the setup.  In my system, only very poorly recorded material (e.g. har... 
Considering a new amp for my Vandersteen Quatro CT
Belles Virtuoso power amp.  Order one from Johnny Rutan.

MoFi controversy
@tomcy6 It's in the July/August 2022 Absolute Sound print edition.  I don't think it's been posted on line yet.  It definitely discusses analog/digital stuff, as well as Tim de Paravicini's contribution.  
Isolation Feet Upgrade
Shouldn't the Nosebound springs be called Earbound?  
MoFi controversy
I haven't read through all the posts, but have people also seen the recent article in Absolute Sound?  
What are "Easy Plugs" Speaker Cable Terminations?
As far I can see, these are easy plugs.    
New Project RS2T transport
  Check out the 1:00 point in the video.    
Speaker positioning and center image depth
No, I'm very happy with the way things are.  I like the more "distant" perspective: front of the soundstage at or behind the plane of the drivers, and good depth to the soundstage.  For orchestral music, this approximates to a concert hall perspec...
