    Eulogies for the Pendragons are pre-mature. I simply wanted to hear the Studio Pluses in the better acoustic location.

    I don't own them; I haven't bought them; I haven't borrowed them; they are not in my house; I have bigger fish to fry presently.

    What tonearm(s) are people using with their Koetsu cartridges?

    Has anyone used a Koetsu on a Reed 5T?

    That's a very interesting combination!

    Hello MRJAZZ, Why do you believe this? What experience-based data points do you have?

    Clarisys Audio Auditorium Loudspeaker

    Thank you. Can you be more specific, please? What sonic changes did you hear from switching to the active crossover? Did you hear a change in tonal balance, or a change in any frequency emphasis or de-emphasis?

    Audio Café does not presently have any solid-state power amplifier.

    The Gryphon woofer towers have no cross-over frequency adjustment.

    Hi Brad, Lloyd, It's not that simple. I can't just casually double up on reproduction of 200Hz and down. (Which is not to say I didn't try precisely this at a low volume setting on the woofer towers just for fun!)

    Ron’s New System

    One other material sonic development: as Angus queried me about my current wiring configuration I told him that I still had the Gryphon woofer tower interconnects connected to the back of the preamp using the second pair of outputs. Angus suggested that just for fun I should disconnect those...

    Ron’s New System

    I really don't understand how Cyrus in Spokane is now getting exactly the sound I want for myself in my listening room with my system. The sound has a lower sonic center of gravity, and greater tonal density (even with the Jadis JA100s), than anything I have heard in my room. At some point I...

    Yesterday, with the assistance of Angus Leung of WestminsterLab, I slid the Pendragon ribbon panels out of the way, and I moved the Clarisys speakers from in front of the left side wall by the kitchen to the proper speaker position where the Pendragon ribbon panels used to be.

    Clarisys Audio Auditorium Loudspeaker

    I visited my friend Cyrus in Spokane, Washington, earlier in the winter to hear his system with Clarisys Auditorium loudspeakers. At that point, I had not yet set up my Clarisys Studio Plus speakers in my listening room for Audio Café. As most of you know, I represent Clarisys Audio as their Los...

    Ask your spouse which video sounds more real or natural

    Sorry, my mistake. But since when do audiophiles read the instructions?

    Ask your spouse which video sounds more real or natural

    As usual, these videos are comparing mostly the crappy microphones and DACs in cellular telephones. But if you must have an answer, I find your recording much more irritating to listen to.

    Interesting! What did you find was the purest, generally available brand of distilled water?

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    I agree fully with both of these characterizations. But I don't think they undermine my "in practical effect" comment.

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    I am happy for David that this ultimate American Sound turntable has become a reality! I am happy for you that your presence at the initial installation and listening session was so exciting! It's totally fine -- there is no issue whatsoever in my mind -- but why pretend that in this thread you...

    Favorite English Breakfast Tea?

    Hello Stephen, No; that never occurred to me. And I don't know the blend that Sean used to use.

    Are You a Furry as Well as an Audiophile?

    At the Hyatt Regency in Schaumburg, Illinois, the steampunk convention is on the same annual cycle as AXPONA. The hotel presently is filled with steampunk practitioners. We also have seen the occasional practicing Furry. I suspect that there is no obvious connection between the furry subculture...
