The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat
Audiofeil is absolutely 100% correct. No one interprets senses( ie. sound) exactly the same,no one.If you think about it I am sure you will figure out why.

Ah yes, the term musicality can mean many things to many people.It is one of the most idiotic terms thrown around audiophile circles. What does it mean? Ask 10 audiophiles and you will get 10 different answers. The term is basically meaningless. I...

When it comes to "tweaks" there are a lot of unfounded claims. These claims tend to be greatly exaggerated.Also many of the claims fly in the face of logic. So you have to expect some opposition. I find the whole "tweak" camp quite cultish as demo...

Matt as in Mathew, angelic matt

The Angelic matt is much better. The highs are much more extended, bass more defined and there is a greater sense of air around the individual performers. Once you try the Angelic matt the others are a joke in comparison(IMO)...as always YMMV....

Coopersark The more you post about this little $1 or $2 rubber disc the more you come across as a shill. I don't know if you are or not but it certainly has crossed my mind a few times. Also, bragging about the cost of your room/setup comes across...

It looks the same as a rubber/synthetic disc shaped matt I use to open jars. It costs about a buck. I bet it would have the same effect. 
HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2
I had the B&W 802D. They looked cool but didn't sound like 15K speakers to me( maybe 8K ). I traded them in on the new B&W 800 Diamonds. These are on a whole other level( not even close IMO). I would also look at Vivid speakers. 
Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101
Jkuc Who can argue with your logic where price dictates the integrity of signal transmission.Honestly, this is one of the reasons SOME esoteric wire advocates sound utterly and completely illogical. Audiofeil presented a reasoned response(imo).... 
Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101
The esoteric cable/tweak industry has done far more harm than good for this hobby( imo). I mean really, anyone can be in this industry within a very short period of time and make any sort of claim they wish. Audiophiles just soak it up.... 
Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101
Jkuc The ONLY possible thing a cable can do is introduce distortions. WHich cable distorts less? I bet it is one from the likes of beldon. Now if you are looking to deliberately introduce distortions there are many esoteric cables to chose from. 
Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ?
I recently tried the Weiss dac202,Meitner MA-1 and Invicta dac.The Weiss dac202 has very very good midrange but it's 2 main weakness are 1) lack of dynamics 2) lack of transient response. The Invicta dac has these 2 traits in spades. 
How sensitive is the B&W Nautilus Midrange?
If you want a speaker to play at ear splitting levels I would look a horn loaded speakers like JBL or something along those lines. 
B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802
I just bet most audiophiles do not have their listening areas treated properly and so frequency response would be all over the place anyways.I think this is the reason people search for and talk about system SYNERGY, toe their speakers in/out etc ... 
B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802
Shadome keeps bringing up the one plot of the OLD 802D and I completely agree but the OP is not asking about the old 802D. I had the 802D and thought they left much to be desired BUT the 802N is not the same speaker but has it's own weaknesses but...
