| Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos? Just scrolled through listing photos of 24 homes of $million+ without seeing a single pair of high end speakers. A couple dedicated theaters that got a photo or two as opposed to 5-10 of the spa bathroom and 25 of the kitchen. I've attended Parade... | |
| Favorite Recordings Featuring Odd Selections of Musical Instruments. The redhead went to Woodstock | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. I subscribed to stereophile for about 40 years. Each year I wrote a letter suggesting that their reviewers have an audiologist perform a hearing test and publish the results. I never received a response, not even a, “You again, give it a rest.” Th... | |

| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase My favorite step is the call to authority; "My wife, who is the concertmaster for the Royal Philharmonic and has perfect pitch and hearing that extends beyond 20k, heard a profound difference while pulling into the driveway." | |

| It's time to replace my 2009 factory-modded Wadia S7i with a current R2R DAC. Mojo Audio. Ben’s unit destroyed my Exogal Comet Plus in about four notes. | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? 1977 a buddy and I learned there was a world of audio beyond the malls and Crazy TV Lenny. Walked into a shop in the burbs of Milwaukee as they were unpacking a butt ugly pair of speakers from a little company in California. Cold out of the box no... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? Not on point but relevant to Schiit. I have the original Freya with upgraded tubes. I’m very pleased with the performance. I had a small cosmetic issue with the unit. I received two replacement parts and the tool necessary within five days. Says... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? I have been pretty happy for a couple years with the Exogal.Comet Plus. Then I met Benjon Zwickel of Mojo Audio. First he substituted his illuminati power supply for The plus. Subtle butt clear improvement in all aspects of the music. Then he p... | |
| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? One reason you'll rarely see a high-end two channel system in an open house or virtual tour is realtors. They will strongly advise getting the system out of the house so it "shows" better. Dedicated theaters are the exception, although still rare. | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. The Staves cover of “I’m on Fire.” | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'm at a much lower level than you're looking for but who knows. I was very happy with an Exogal Comet Plus until I heard the Mojo Audio Mystique. No contest. The Mojo has an organic, palpable, engaging presentation that is intoxicating. The Exoga... | |
