    The Art of Listening

    I think you'll love it. It put a smile on my face right at the beginning, changing now and again to open mouth wonderment and then back came the smile. Wonderful people, wonderful sounds, great pictures and love, deep, deep dedicated love of music. Bless you Blue, for pointing this out to us!

    Do Grounding Devices produce the same sonic benefit as cables or is it different?

    Here are my quick 2cents to your question: I haven't upgraded cables for years now, after settling in with Stealth Sakras. It was neutrality and speed I was after, especially in reproducing grand piano, which, as we all know, is basically a percussive instrument. Before I had experimented with...

    Spirit, I am truly happy for you and you are really lucky that your quest only took about two decades. Mine took much much longer, but I am also at peace now. Speaking for myself only, I cannot really feel any sense of self satisfaction least of all that of a reformed audioholic. I think I never...

    Toward a Theory To Increase Mutual Understanding and Predictability

    Ron, the ambient noise from my listening position was just measured at 36 dbz average. With my entire system powered on and at normal listening volume ( Kondo on phono, Atma MA2 MK !!! monos, AVM 8.2. monos and 4 bridged M2.2 monos ) I measured 44dbz average. The best I could do so far and I am...

    Excellent! Why not pick that up Ron? It is simple, objective and can be easily measured.

    Toward a Theory To Increase Mutual Understanding and Predictability

    Mine would go from the letters A to Z, so I would need some space on the island. If there wasn't, I' d settle for yours but would bring some Handel, Schnittke, Berio and Prokofiev as well.

    Love that! I call that innocent listening, because you are not constantly tempted or distracted to listen how the gear sounds, you just enjoy the music.

    I absolutely agree. But then you can get wonderfully sounding systems costing less than 10k if you know what you are doing. At the same time however, there do exist breakthrough products, that from the point of view of their performance might merit their price. The MSB Select 2 comes to mind, or...

    Thank you for that. If i think back on my long long long quest it was an unconsciously driven search for the beauty of and in music. I always made terrible mistakes, when I was seduced by dealers, reviews and snap decisions. I had to learn to trust what was in my head and only my own pair of...

    What's Spinning Tonight?

    Sorry about that. I thought I was sober, when I did that picture. Would not have done justice to this intricate music anyway. Yes, I decided, knowing to give up some optimizing of sound, that I would not want something like those chapels serving the audiophile god. I wanted images of my loved...
