Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Different strokes for different folks.No sense in getting offended or attempting to look down on others because they don't want to come to your party.They are having their own parties and apparently it's working just fine for them.Live and let live.

Soundstage depth and width
Reference level sound staging and imaging is something so elusive, so condition specific and subjective that it is something I personally have stopped trying to achieve. Much of it appears to be a recording artifact and a playback artifact that I ...

Sensual Music
Put on some Marvin Gaye and be down with it.That man could sing "Baby, you are fat and ugly but I've got an hour to spare." And I swear she would take it as a compliment. I've never needed more than Marvin. 
Can digital cables be used as interconnects?
