| How to assess and quantify system improvement and changes? There's a fundamental problem here, as there's no benchmark that any of the judgments can be keyed to. These are subjective judgments being made by individuals about unique combinations of components in unique listening spaces. Try codifying tha... | |
| Just wave! https://pmc-speakers.com/technology/atl The commentary says it's tapered, but the cut-away doesn't look tapered to me. Mixed in with the advertising copy, there are little technical nuggets dotted throughout the 3 mins. | |
| Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of. B&W DM1800's with dedicated stands. Had them in my system for years and years, longest of any. Still got 'em, packed away... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. @skyscaper I strongly recommend you don't buy cables (phono, interconnect, speaker, power) based solely on readings reviews or forum feedback.

| Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of. Everything I've hear from the brits over the years are brightThat's strange. Lo these many years, I've owned Celestion, B&W, ProAc and now PMC, and I'm bright-averse. A brief detour into the world of Thiel predictably proved an utter debacle... | |

| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. @skyscraper The Simaudio is a very nice unit, but I'm not sure it has enough oomph. I would definitely add the Plinius to your list. I just searchd "CSiB" on this forum and there were 64 hits. Likely a number belong to the same threads. Worth... | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality 1. Everyone hears differently. One person's accuracy is another person's musicality. Recommendations only get you to a long short-list.But then 2. False dichotomy. True binaries would be accurate vs. inaccurate, or musical vs. unmusical. Linki... | |

| Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra? As you're open to used, what about one of the Backert Labs models? They have remotes. | |
