    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    I definitely hear my system differently when I am hosting another audiophile. I don't think it's their mass :), but somehow I hear it through their ears more. For instance, I will hear negative aspects I never heard when listening with someone and they will comment on these things too. This...

    New Dedicated Listening Room

    When building your room to be non-obvious from an audio point of view, here's an idea. I put in custom built in maple cabinetry where the obvious bass traps placement were. Some have sliding doors, some are open. As most have records or CDs in them, they make very nice bass traps, and I have...

    USB cable recommended?

    I'm just checking in about the Mad Scientist Black Magic Ultra USB. Some members tried it a year ago (@ Miki70). I recently got a used Black Magic Standard USB cable, and have really been liking it. I also have a number of Mad Scientists Nano tweaks which I have applied to cables and...
