Albert Porter
Post on his system page and Albert will likely respond. I think he's less inclined to the more general philosophical stuff (my guess) but more than willing to speak concretely about what he is doing.

He’s around. Talked to him last week.I like Albert- straight shooter and a character. Since I moved to Texas, I've been 'fixin' to visit with him-- we are a few hours apart.  
Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
@kosst_amojan--the terms have an accepted meaning. JGHolt published a glossary many years ago that was long used so that people could speak the same language when describing reproduced sound. I learned to understand both image and soundstage from ... 
Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
Right. I remember walking into The Record Collector in Hollywood about thirty years ago (at its old location) and after talking with the owner about a few records, mentioned that his speaker position- one located in one room, another past an arch ...

Glenn Campbell, who may have been a bit younger than some of the others in that Crew, had monster chops. We caught him on that bittersweet last tour, and even though his mind was straying, he still had the muscle memory - his playing was just supe... 
Vinyl***What If***
This is almost as good as the Marx Bros:What do you fellows get an hour?Ravelli: Oh, for playing we getta ten dollars an hour.Spaulding: I see...What do you get for not playing?Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour.....Ravelli: Now, for rehearsing we ma... 
Odyssey MKV RCM owners, I have a question
@Syntax owns (or owned) an Odyssey. Ping him.  
One or two dedicated AC wire ?
It’s almost what you "don’t hear" that might sway you-- if you equipment is on a circuit shared with other outlets, fixtures or appliances, dedicated lines can help reduce overall system noise. I’m not talking about obvious electrical interference... 
V. Morrison Moondance reissue vs 2nd press what is the fascination with digital on vinyl?
It's my term (though I think shared by others) that it's not some special copy behind the counter on display but put into the 'bin' of used records that are sold at "regular" "cheap" prices. Now that I'm down in Austin, I hit a few stores here, in...

Orpheus- what does all this do for you?I doubt any of my gear is rated in Stereophile. I also prefer bone in aged rib-eye to Porterhouse, and was a regular at Luger's back in the day. So what?Everyone finds their level. You've found yours. Next.  
V. Morrison Moondance reissue vs 2nd press what is the fascination with digital on vinyl?
I haven’t heard these latest cuts. (I have a WLP of this and more than a few old greenies- Warners in that era had a phenomenal roster of artists thanks to Mo Ostin and the in-house production team as well as some of the best sounding LPs issued o...

That whole crew was monumental, both as seasoned players and as the real force behind a lot of popular music from the era. Sorry to hear this.  
I Think We Can All Agree...
C'mon down to Texas. We got trucks so badXXX that they have tandem wheels in front!!(PS- I personally don't like driving trucks because they handle like... trucks). No shelter. Bunker. :) 
I Think We Can All Agree...
Here's how I see it-- somebody driving that thing with a film running, preferably an auto chase movie.  
Just wanted to share that I got a new reviewing gig with Six Moons.com website
You should enjoy writing there- 6Moons covers a range of equipment we seldom see in the States and the format of the reviews is less prosaic. Srajan is an interesting guy- I've had occasion to correspond with him a few times over the years and fou...
