This should be titled “More Narcissism From MillerCarbon!! Read All About It....Or Not!!”Nothing new here. 
My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong
NAD 3020 D???All I can say is that the OP must have gotten the good one. The 2 I had were nothing to write threads like this about. The one I have left is doing shop duty. If it dies, it gets a cardboard coffin... 
Equalization for vinyl nirvana
I have 107 cartridges in my collection. Each one sounds different. Some emphasize the mids; back in the day, it was called “presence.” No amount of auxiliary EQ (not RIAA!) will give it to you if your cartridge doesn’t have it. Other cartridges wi... 
Blocking Ports on Ported Speakers
Sealed cabinets (acoustic suspension) are known for tight bass, although bass extension is rarely as good as with ported designs (Bass Reflex). But no free lunch here: Ports require careful engineering and making good trade offs. Very easy to have... 
Suddenly...one third of my tracks are 'unavailable' using Qobuz
All of my tracks are available. They’re always on. No files or filters to fumble up.Vinyl: The choice of true music connoisseurs!Dont get left behind in cyber dust! 
Phono Stage, Cartridge, DeGritter...which one first?
I’ve been cleaning my records in the sink now since 2007. That’s when I quit using an US. Lots of really bad, piss poor advice! ^^^Unless you have more $$/€€/££/¥¥ than brains. Many in here do.Keep your P6. Upgrade your cartridge. That’ll get you ... 
Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now?
Analog is just now catching up to where we left it in 1989. I’m happy with analog. Digital is *YAWN* still slowly progressing to wherever it’s going. Stale and clinical with steely afternotes.... 
Most harsh/shrill sounding speakers (vintage)
1983. Omega Z7000 Speakers.Most late 70s and 80s Japanese Speakers. Few exceptions. Klipsch speakers 70s and 80s.1965 Wharfdale W70D. The paper tweeter sizzled. 
3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive???
I don't understand the question. Do you want what sounds good? Or what measures good? Don't say both. Life is full of choices. Nobody gets everything they want. Nothing is ever perfect. So your choice. Which one do you want?  This is where the gre... 
Cartridge for my friend
For that kind of money, a NOS NIB Empire 2000Z, Shure V15V or V15V-MR, ADC ZLM MKIII, ADC Astrion. All would match a 5 gram effective mass arm. Some great Jico stylus replacements available.Id take these or other vintage carts over the new ones me... 
Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?
Threshold.SAE Two A14 integrated. 
Help with some big ol' used DIY speakers
There may be no XO to the woofers, but there has to be for the mids and tweeters for protection.you HAVE to know the specs on the drivers to know where to cross them over. You can guess, but may never provide protection or good sound that way. The... 
Anyone have the Answer?
There are some very useful USB oscilloscope add-ons for computers, about $65. Plenty accurate enough for taking a look at your incoming ac power. They can record on your computer screen Hz and voltage excursions. After that, it depends on how clea... 
VINYL SUCKS!
Garbage!Vinyl is better in every respect. Digital is full of distortion and “digital artifacts”, from all the massive levels of processing needed to convert math to an ANALOG signal/voltage. Everybody has their favorite DACs, proving that distorti... 
Backup Generator transfer switch
The ATS was NEVER the problem!The problem was the quality of power he was getting from his backup generator. It was electrically noisy with fluctuating frequency and voltage. So he later put in a PS Audio Power Regenerator. It’s nothing more than ...
