Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
I meant "Mihorn" was spreading horse _ _ _ _. I called him by his company name, Wavetouch. I hope most of you knew what I meant. 
Best Tannoys for mid-field listening?
Hi Bob Rodgers,Who knows....the speakers can easily work there. But I forget - are the Glenairs the Tulip waveguide? If so, I don't find them as coherent, and I find them brighter. Then there's amps, cables, on and on.

Wavetouch, what a load of horse _ _ _ _ you are spinning.This includes the "almost all listener fatigue comes from your room acoustics". Most listener fatigue comes distortion in the chain including speakers. That you have supposedly produced a sp... 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
They are grossly overpriced, and grossly technically deficient. Tiny gauge for lots of money, ringing cables. 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
Everest 67000 yes, Tara no. There are smoother cables that deliver just as much detail as those.Yes also on Verity. Yes also on Tannoy as long as it is the "pepperpot" waveguide.No on the Magico Q. It's all relative. Magico Q are non-fatiguing com... 
ZYX R100 Yatra
Syntax, that is NOT the sound of the XV1s. It's opposite. Something was wrong with that cart, or the system.Not my fave cart, not my least fave cart, but I like accuracy in reporting and your report is not accurate. I'm not saying you did not hear... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Throw away those specs. The real units don't meet them. They are pure craziness. they are about as good as amplifier specs of the day. 
Tannoy Westminster GR or SE?
Wow, I thought they were the same price. I'm sure they are making up for years of not raising the price and a new model change is the way to do it, even if the costs are not high for the change (and certainly those tiny changes cost them next to n... 
Best Tannoys for mid-field listening?
All of them will work for your distance. I can listen to my Tannoys at 4 feet away, with the speakers 10 feet apart on center, and get great, immediate sound. For 4 feet or closer extra toe in is required.Something was wrong with your placement, y... 
Subwoofer Newbie Looking for Recommendations
Yes, JL are fabulous and have to be the best out there. That's where my money will go. 
Tannoy Westminster GR or SE?
Good luck finding a good opinion in a "blind leading the blind" industry such as this. Almost everyone assumes newer is better, that every "upgrade" is really a huge push forward in the discovery of new physics, and where reviewers parrot the manu... 
Walker turntable owners, want a GREAT cheap tweak?
Bigger than crystals? WOW! That must be huge to actual be bigger than figments of peoples' imaginations. 
Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet?
Quietest I've ever heard in the tube realm are Ypsilon phono and pre. 
Is the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp the reigning King?
Metralla, thanks and nice summary. The human condition: yes, one must be aware of it, and remember to do things for ourselves, think for ourselves, and resist doing things to be accepted. It's about the music. Most entered the hobby for that reaso... 
Is the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp the reigning King?
The Halcro stunk. From first listen. Just as many, many other "new king" components are not great (though Halcro is one of the grossest errors in memory). Yet, reviewers followed one after another, just as most audiophiles did, with collective nod...
