| Streaming midareff -- I regularly use my collection of dual-layer CD/SACDs to do audio face-offs between the SACD layer that passes through the DAC of my Sony XA5400ES and the CD layer that passes through my Mytek Brooklyn. I'm not keeping exact score here... | |
| How to improve Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill?" You got me to uncork my domestic LP promo copy of the Kate Bush record, which I undoubtedly got when I labored at Tower Records in the 1980’s. I haven’t listened to it in years. I really liked the woman. I might have even seen her live, but then a... | |
| What country builds the best audio equipment? Best -- Subjective sound quality (or objective/measured sound quality if you’re that type). Reliability.Ease of use coupled with the ability to cohabit/grow with the changes you’ll inevitably make with the rest of your system. | |

| What would you say is THE MOST important factor to good imaging? Speaker placement is tops in my book. | |
| Window shoppers!! I hate them!! It's fun to shop! Even in this unfunny moment in history. | |
| Happy Scale Right now, I have my most favorite music system ever in my most favorite music room ever. Right now, Primephonic is delivering me an outstanding 1959 recording of Georg Solti and the Wiener Phil playing Beethoven's Eroica. Yeah, I could nitpick ... | |
| O.K., the other end of your personal experience When it comes to the Infinity Black Widow, it didn't take long for Paul Seydor to convince me to replace it with the Sumiko MMT for my SOTA Sapphire. There was no question regarding the improvement to the sound. A few years later, though, an Alp... | |
