Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile"
At first I thought his web site interesting, but ultimately, I'm not impressed with his camera gear reviews and far less so with his audio reviews.Lots of inconsistency in his reviews of photo gearHis audio reviews are juvenile 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
I wanted the DiskTracker so badly- never got one. Now, don't need one but somehow, I still want one. It's as though everything I wanted to get in 1977 or 1978 but could because I just didn't have the dough, I want to own now, even if for a little ... 
Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24
Unavailability of parts is not a uniquely Sony phenomena. Now if audio companies were like Leica, a company that still fully supports the M3 camera that was introduced, what, 60 years ago? 
Let's play the "what if" game
It's an interesting compromise. The opening to the hall behind the speakers allows me to have the speakers closer to the back wall than I would with a solid wall behind the speakers which gives me some boundary reinforcement. Yet I also get the im...

Hi Runnin- at one point I did use all Analysis Plus cables. Too much of a good thing! Aside from 2 pair of Harmonic Tech Pro Silway II in XLRs, all my other ICs are home made. I use 2 sorts of cable- either Klotz (think Rega Couple- it's Klotz cab...

Hi Chayro- the Cablepro is a nice addition. Can't exactly put my finger on it, yet I do perceive a deeper musical depth. I'll look into the Audience PCs.Using a Pass XP15 phono preamp. I'm very happy with my Pass gear.I did pick up the IKEA Kallax...

Let's play the "what if" game
It's been a couple months since I last chimed in. I have made a modest change in my system in that I sold the Wiremold power strip and replaced it with a Cablepro power strip. Yes, another Naim friendly power strip even though I own no Naim gear.I...

I owned an Aleph P, version with remote. I found it very clean but lacking in dynamics- a softer sort of sound. That said, I now have a Pass INT-150 which I like and I own a Pass X15 phono pre which I also think is very good.But for me, on the P, ... 
solid state integrateds that will hold their value
Mcintosh holds it's value. You need to buy used. My current integrated, still in production, cost me less than 50% of MSRP- it's was bought used. I am sure I could sell,it for what I paid. This hobby need not cost money if you buy used and buy wel...
