Audio: what took so long ?
Hey, I have been involved in the design of direct machine to human brain interface technologies. They have been used to pilot aircraft, in advanced solider robotics, to quell neurological and psychiatric disorders (such as Parkinsonism and in obse... 
Are Fall Sales Leveling Out in the Used Market?
The "preowned hifi" market is beginning to thrive again - it may be seasonal but I suspect that it is also a consequence of extensive delays in the product supply chain. The chip shortage is another phenomenon entirely and that may not abate for s... 
Supply chain problems delay audio hardware for up to 12 months or more
I was just trying to educate folks on this forum that no matter where a product is finally assembled, the dependency on parts from China and elsewhere means that ordering something right now make take a year or more to be delivered. I am not sure ... 
Supply chain problems delay audio hardware for up to 12 months or more
tablejockey- You are correct! I was being a bit subdued about this fact on this forum where some folks only patronize "Made in The USA", without recognizing that apart from who gets the profit, all of the top brands use components MIC.  This is on... 
questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s
I have Sasha 2's but am transitioning to Sasha DAWs. I do not know if this helpful or not. I have used the following amplifiers, and my experiences with each:1. ARC GS150 driven by McIntosh 275: Not enough grunt;2. Luxman M900u solid state driven ... 
My Experience With Tekton
Great post of sanity amidst the harangue of social media arguments. I am so happy for you to have found a solution and recognize that I need to do more listening and less talking (and less clinical and scientific work in my case). I am fortunate t...

Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence
In general, millercarbon is correct, as always. No sarcasm on my part... 
Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence
I am a neuroscientist and molecular biologist (PhD). Yes, listening is an acquired skill but individuals also differ in their innate (i.e., genetic) ability to discriminate different frequencies. The human auditory system is by far the most critic... 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
In a pathetic suggestion that probably is off-target - I have heard a great deal of praise for, but have I not heard, the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC -its solution is not FPGA or chip-based - see https://www.mola-mola.nl/tambaqui.phpThanks- Gerry 
Speakers for triode tube amps
There are many good suggestions on this thread, including Tekton, AudioKinesis, Harbeth, among others. I don't listen to music with my eyes - I use my ears. I never quite understand why folks criticize speakers based on looks, or because the marke... 
My swarm sub system is in The Absolute Sound !!
Congratulations!  The only mention on audio that I have ever had was a response from Paul McGowan (PS Audio) on a YouTube video about a week ago from an email that I sent him 3 years ago...He said he could not understand what I did as professor (I... 
replace Mcintosh with Luxman
I am a tube fanatic, so I like my Luxman CL1000 preamplifier better than the Luxman C900u's I tried out awhile ago. For my taste, Luxman products are wonderful, unless you want the McIntosh "house sound", whatever that is... 
Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?
I think that like most of the discussions on this site there is no correct answer, just preferences. I grew up in the late 60s where vinyl was the only option. Now I am one of the youngish baby boomers who loves the physical aspect of the CD disks... 
AUDIO RESEARCH VS VTL
William Zane Johnson invented the modern tube amplifier and started a company called Audio Research. I have owned 3 ARC power amplifiers including 250SE monoblocks and 160M monoblocks. Audio Research has been extremely responsible and have even re...
