Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
tomic601"which does bring up a good point....ever notice all those live plants in the Vandy booths at shows all over the world ?"Very ironic and probably one of those old wives tales audiophiles sometimes tell since any live plant or flower in the... 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
I always wait til the fuse is fully broken in to reverse direction. That way you should be better able to hear the difference more easily. 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
The trouble with that strategy is that because breaking in a fuse can be very uh, rocky, with many ups and downs along the way and you might not know if you’re UP or DOWN. Hey that sounds like a Hendrix song! So, if you try to draw conclusions too... 
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
Anyone who has ever played around with room treatments, you know, like Tube Trap, Echo Tunes, Skyline diffusers, Helmholtz resonators, tiny little bowl resonators, Mpingo discs, crystals, things of that nature knows that it takes a while to locate... 
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
costco_emoji,You wouldn’t kid me would you? Do you think I fell off the turnip truck yesterday? I didn’t say 4 feet anyway. Try to pay attention. I said *start* with 4 feet. That way you won’t overlook the real absolute distance, which is often a ... 
Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio

Cables made from lead are more controversial. Besides liquid is almost a solid. It’s only a phase away. You can’t get in too much trouble that way. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Glass is a almost a liquid at room temperature. Now, does ... 
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
Locating perfect speaker locations by ear is a fool’s errand since you can never know when you have actually found the perfect locations. You keep looking and looking and finally give up. First of all almost all speakers are too far apart. Not to ...

This seems appropriate, an excerpt from the Intro of Zen and the Art of Debunkery,As the millennium turns, science seems in many ways to be treading the weary path of the religions it presumed to replace. Where free, dispassionate inquiry once rei...

There are quite a few Fourier Analysis apps. Why don’t you give one a test drive and report back?

Good catch! 🏈 
Directionality of wire
costco_emoji, Oh, please! Why would I report you? You entertain me. I suspect Georgie Boy. He seems like the jealous type. 😡 Let’s not fight, boys. I blush easy. 
Directionality of wire
danvignauI guess some of you do not realize that interconnects do not flow a DC current in only one direction. Analogue audio signals are alternating current. The electricity moves back and forth, like the sound waves from your speakers. Direction...

You have to respect Mr. Russell for having the foresight and cleverness to link to the Amazing Randi Million Dollar Challenge for blind testing super expensive cables. If any pseudo skeptics were sitting on the fence before reading all the gory de...
