Measurement Bias
I dont understand the apparent need for validation by measurements. It should simply be enough to like the sound of a component and all this mention of bias is just masturbation. It is impossible for us to know the motivations of others in terms o... 
Integrated for Cornwall IV
I would strongly suggest something with tubes.   
Burning-in as a non-linear experience
The only component that I have burned in that was linear was my cartridge. A really interesting experience as it noticeably improved by the minute.  
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
Forgot to add that I have a dedicated room, but the dimensions are about as bad as can be. A bit more complicated to deal with these types of problems.   
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
I dont agree. Without a decent room you cant discern, effectively, what differentiates good from not so good. I think the room is more important than the components assuming the system is of sufficient quality.   
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
I dont deny most if not all of the Covid numbers. In fact I really havent paid much attention to Covid from the outset. Got the shot/booster and then watched tribalism and politicization occur.  The real problem with this entire fiasco was the re... 
Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues
I dont think the JBL line is any different! One speaker driver creates sound and the other reproduces. I just bought a pair of L100s and a pair of 65 Jubals with the intent to sell. JBLs do not appeal to my sonic palate. They did play loud I will ... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
I am not so sure I would call resistance to public health policy anti-science. I guess if you consider public health the paramount consideration of public health policy. My concern lies not so much with the science, but rather with the scientists.... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
If you read what Amir has said in these last posts you can clearly see the problem. Just a rehash of an age old debate within this hobby.  I love the statement: "We follow established audio science and engineering". Who, what and when?    
Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues
It would be the same speaker that is best on classical, jazz and any other form of music that you did not mention.   
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
I think that ASR has chosen an extreme stance not for any particular reason except to incite an even greater amount of tribalism in this hobby. Who knows how they really feel or what they believe? What they have done is succeeded in getting member... 
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
Wolf said he tried an fancy fuse. He didnt say which one so really no help to this discussion. Further, he has tended to dismiss some of the tweeky stuff in the past and so has a predisposition of doubt. Probably a good thing. I have no interest i... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Arent many substantiated claims in this pursuit.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I support the little guy if he makes a good product and doesnt act like a tool. Is Erin the one who is so stressed out? I thought that Eric was the victim? I am so confused about which adult male I am supposed to feel sorry for.  We are just gener... 
ribbons vs domes and sibilance
Another problem with exotic tweeters (design or materials used) is that they often dictate the type of crossovers used. Not a fan, so far, of either ribbons or AMT type tweeters. I still prefer silk domes.
