Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
Tekton Goes After Erin & More Just saw this guy for the first time and thought it was funny.     
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Congratulations @jaymark ! What preamp and speakers are you using now?    
Planar Speakers and Diffusors
drbond, thanks for the clarification! I thought thats what you meant but wanted to verify.  
Planar Speakers and Diffusors
@drbond, by “back wall” are you speaking of the wall behind your speakers (in front of you as you listen)?       
Please recommend King Crimson albums…
There are many live albums (Live in Toronto, Radical Action, etc.) which are at least worth browsing through to see if any of it agrees with you. Much incredible muscianship is on display but they don't do mellow for very long at a stretch so that... 
Interesting video on cables
Imagine building the machine to build the Apple cables. Such tiny pieces require mind blowing precision to achieve the high quality level shown.   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

Life of KT 150 Tubes
Hi Vishu. In your original post you mentioned both tubes went bad at the same time but in your last post you mention the left amp going bad and the right amp was still working. After switching tubes from the bad left amp to the working right amp, ... 
A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT
Glad y’all are ok! I always enjoy your posts and perspectives. 
Strong recommend: The HiFi Podcast with Darren & Duncan
I second your recommendation! Somehow I stumbled on this a few months ago and it quickly became a favorite of mine. The guys have had so many experiences at an early age but their isn’t a touch of arrogance to be found. Rather, there is a comforta... 
amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way.
Very uplifting, glad you shared this. Bet Art would have loved his speakers being so intensely and purely appreciated. A fine tribute. 
TIDAL on SALE!
Thanks, apparently what I was looking at is quality levels/tiers and not subscription tiers. I went to Tidal.com and, just under ‘elevate your sound’ it shows the 3 quality levels which I mistakenly correlated to subscription levels. I have the hi...
