LIFE is noisy and imperfect.....

In the early 1980's just when I was starting out, I bought into the hype of ultra-low distortion and traded in my Creek 4040 (which I had bought when I was a student in London) for a 0.0001% THD Japanese integrated amp. Regretted that for the next 3 years before I could afford to buy something...

Welcome! I'm also from Washington State. We have a great and active Pacific Northwest Audio Society in the Seattle area - meeting in Kirkland almost every 1st Saturday of the month. We also have a very active and very accomplished DIY loudspeaker building community. I love your handle!

I do own an electric car, and when I am charging, the soundstage is not as expansive. However, it's much the same when my wife turns on the oven. I find the same in the office - when the electric forklift is charging, the soundstage totally collapses. Since I run Puritan Audio power conditioners...

The lady (and many men) behind Impex Records talks about what it takes. This video tells you how much actually work goes into making an audiophile album. I've been there and worked with many of the same guys that Abey Fonn works with - mainly because Abey guided me as I embarked on producing...

So.... this is another product that was prompted by dealer and customer requests. A decade ago, I had developed a phonostage for myself when I couldn't find one that I loved enough. I wanted something that had the best of two phonos that I was designing/showing with at the time but none of the...

I am very honored that the album just got voted into the Positive Feedback 2025 Writers' Choice Award. https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/2025-positive-feedback-writers-choice-awards/

May I humbly suggest the Genesis Gold or Platinum? I'm the designer/manufacturer. No need for any settings. Here's a review comparing it to the Pass. https://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0925/Genesis_Premium_Platinum_Phono_Preamplifier_Review.htm

Yeah! Please do. We had a great time over the past few days as we mostly just listened to music, and I answered questions as best as I could. Hifi Sound is an amazing store with a fabulous record collection for sale. If you love LPs, they are definitely a must-visit.

How about 10? I have a Genesis loudspeaker set-up process that I teach my dealers. Each track having a defined purpose and what to look (listen?) out for and is a step-by-step process for system set-up. Although oriented towards loudspeaker set-up, some of the tracks (if you can find the LP...

Thank you! I really wanted to bring my passion to a wider audience by designing something that is slightly affordable. And since the technology was there - I managed to trickle some down from the flagships. It helps that everything was designed in-house, even down to screws that I designed. It...

I'm going to be at an event doing my usual on Thursday Nov 6th - playing music, talking about design and introducing my G7 Minuet loudspeakers to the Minneapolis-based music lovers. The system will comprise The Wand tonearm and turntable, and the Heed Elixir integrated amp with built-in...

I've found that my crossovers break in differently when wired out of phase - especially with an amplifier that has the negative speaker terminal at ground. With a fully differentially balanced output power amplifier (these are rare), that might be fine. But since I cannot guarantee that every...
