Three_easy_payments:I started out in this hobby when I bought Dyna70 and DynaPAS kits and built the stuff myself at the age of 14, back in the 1960s. David Halfer’s Dynaco was built on the premise of simple (simple!) high quality design that was a...

Millercarbon:I misspoke. I meant to say "little" not "no". But I question what I did hear.I’m not the only one who thinks you are ... well, this guy accuses you of being gullible. He offers pragmatic, common sense and useful advice. From not even ...

Millercarbon, your attitude is a huge turnoff. You people just presume we can’t hear. I’ll be in a room with a dozen other people, I hear something, others notice my attention is distracted, and I bring it to their attention. There’s an expression...

I haven’t tried cables since I made the most dramatic improvement to my system: the semi anechoic room. I’ve signed up with the Cable Company Rental, filled out their form. Let’s see what they recommend. Don’t hold your breath, guys.

guakus:”…You’re using a broad judgemental [sic] opinion to simplify a complex discussion….”elegant design - whether, architectural, engineering, graphic design, etc - strips things down to its essentials in the service of clarity. If your argument...

@gaukusIt’s not an entirely different discussion. It’s the same discussion. I found for all intents and purposes that there is no, nunca, nada, zero, zilch difference. Ok, I’ll refrain from hyperbole. I can say that if there was a difference, it w...

guakus:You have failed to respond to my position. I am not calling anyone snake oil salesmen. I have tried about a dozen cable interconnects and speaker cables over the decades that are attached to what I regard as hefty prices. You insist that th...

@ mitch2Thx! Come back in February. I might have a good running start on having all 5,500 there by then. Not all with the summaries of course 😆

Hello guakus:I’ve been at this audio thing for 53 years, since I built a Dyna70 and a Dyna PAS from kits at the age of 14, when I was a member of that lumpen proletariat that the apply named dadork rather too readily and self-revealingly takes com...
