@mahgister Thanks for the kind comments. Coming from you, I means alot. I’m with you on the importance of acoustics. A "hard sell" sometimes when "other" factors come into play -- particularly when important people in your life put razor wire ar...

A little gift for my fellow audiophiles
@soix Thanks for the gift.   How did you know what I wanted?   So thoughtful.

@n80 Yes, Whole Lotta Love may have gifted us with the best rock vocal of all time!! Christmas morning at my humble dwelling: Readling Hamilton Camp's bio.  His transition from folk singer/writer to future endeavors outside of the music world wa... 
Will audio gear be ok in unheated house
As a dealer. we received shipments from all over the world, 12 months out of the year. I recall unloading trucks during sleet and snow. These shipments were in transit for days from another part of the country, often spending their nights/evenings... 
50 ways to leave your lover

Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade
What!!!!??  Take a perfectly good expensive speaker and "mess" with it!!??  This is like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa! Oh, the humanity!! I like to use marine grade 1/4" epoxy for our custom crossover boards.  After performing speaker/cr...

My wife and I have made a drinking game out of watching Hallmark movies.  There are key elements and phrases we've memorized that are pretty predictable (and, consistent) and when they happen -- Cheers!!   Yeah, I know, but it beats watching the ...
