@holmz Impressive analogy. It all works well until you fracture a voice coil?

@crustycoot  It not difficult to pick up your level of passion and intensity related to the climate. Its a complex subject and I hope we adopt "correct" policies to produce the best outcomes.  In a podcast I viewed last week, the presenter estim...

Gentlemen, Great posts!! I am not suggesting that we "paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa" with this topic. If you love everything about your vintage gear (including its current market value) then leave it alone. But, for others it doesn’t have t...

@ketchup Yep, Tom's Camaro is brutal.  A little story: A stock-appearing early Nova showed up at our local track (St. Louis area).  2-tone, white over black, baby moons.  Everything fit under the factory wheel wells.  The car was so cute you jus...

@audition__audio  "In no way can older cars compete with the newer "super" cars. Same, I say, with audio although the difference in this realm is not as great as in the automotive." You are correct, sir.  My comments relate only to the (measurab...

@jallan  "New semiconductor designs, new capacitor designs, new precision resistors, new wire designs, better understanding of micro phonics and vibration control, etc. etc." I totally agree with that statement.  How much of this technology can ...

@jkf011 @holmz I love the smell of hot rebuttals in the morning. Those "WTF" and "nonsense" moments pair well with coffee. Unapologetically using yet another car analogy for a moment, maybe we should downshift and drop our speed down a bit before...

@roxy54  "I personally upgraded or replaced most of the important parts of my McIntosh 2105 amp, including better input jacks and modern WBT speaker terminals, and it sounds better than several other amps that I've tried.' It sounds like we're i...
