Pass Labs X1 vs. XP-10
Oh, I forgot one thing, I was reading that not too long ago, Nelson Pass was still using the X1 with the First Watt amps at the electronic shows. If you do some research online, it is not difficult to find this info. 
Pass Labs X1 vs. XP-10
I have not heard the XP-10 but if you can justify the cost, buy the XP-10. If you feel the cost does not justify the improvement, go with the X1. The X1 is a great preamp for the money. You would be hardpressed to find one better for the cost of a... 
How to make record albums
Atmasphere, that deal with where to place the mics sounds like that could be a critical thing. What was so special about for instance, Ken Wilkinson? He knew what to do with the mics. Is it that he had an ear for where to place them? Is there a ge... 
How to make record albums
Why do you think all the obsession with the low end powered subs? To try to fill in the holes.Boy, I could not agree with you more. So true and a great way of putting it. 
How to make record albums
Steve Hoffman does do great work, no doubt about it. What did the Decca engineers of the 50's and 60's do to make such amazing recordings? The mics, the equipment, the hall? What was it? This is just an example of a team of engineers that really m...

These speakers have been designed and tweaked to the Max. It is like a Mercedes, the size and shape does not have to change. A well engineered design does not have to. The attention to detail in the design of these speakers is amazing. You can tel...

Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MME Monitor
My room is a little bit larger than yours 16X20X8 so that may impact the setting. Much of the time I have it set at the lowest setting about 22 hz. especially if the music is jazz or smaller classical ensembles. When I did this review it was proba... 
Wyred 4 Sound STP Special Edition Vs. Pass X-1
I missed the bloom with my C220 but I can hear so much more of the music with the X1. Don't get me wrong, I love tubes, I just always got too much noise with them in the preamp. I could never find tubes quiet enough with no glare. I do love the so... 
Should I buy the B&W 804d's or 805d's
The bass on the 805D is amazing and I am not sure you would need a sub 
Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ?
I am with Audiofeil on this. The Mintlp is a great tool. We used it when we set the table up. I had the alignment off, the table was not level, azimuth was off and the tracking angle was wrong. Basically, I had everything wrong. The funny thing is...

Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ?
It is possible to have no inner groove distortion. A friend of mine has no inner groove ditortion on his old Mission Turntable. It sounded better than the VPI Aries I heard at the dealer. His table is over 20 years old. lol. He is a master at setu...
