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...

Love a dealer who would do that before delivering to a customer!

Welcome! There's nothing wrong with Class D - but I may be accused of bias asGenesis has had a Class D design available for over 20 years.

No - not needed with the TLM50. You can hear the ambience and audience all captured naturally. In one of the tracks of the first disc, you can hear someone chatting up the pretty vocalist in the background. We had debated keeping this track on the album, as someone might have recognized the...

If the loudspeaker is not a crossover-less wide-band single driver design, the burn-in process is a roller coaster since each driver breaks in differently. A woofer, midrange and tweeter are physically vastly different. And as they break-in coherence and integration WILL vary widely. We...

I'm definitely bragging a little here...... As part of their 30th Anniversary activities, Enjoy the Music.com staff chose 14 products for their prestigious Blue Note Award. Out of all the products spanning a wide array of categories reviewed from October 2024 through September 2025, only 14...

I use the Viola Sonata as my long-term reference "command center". We showed it at the Pacific Audiofest in 2023. The company has since ceased operations in the US...... but may one day rise again. https://pt.audio/2023/06/29/genesis-the-wand-heed-and-much-more-paf-2023/

The thing about a direct-to-2track recording is how close it gets to the musicians. In the case of a 17-piece big band, you either have 17 individual microphones.... or a really excellent band with great balance and 2 microphones. In this case, an additional microphone was used for the vocals...

Welcome! What's in your system? I think that finding gear that flies under the radar but delivers all the high performance attributes at rational prices would be of great interest to folks here.

I hope that you liked the music as much as the lack of surface noise. I learned a lesson on this album - that the stamper/mother/father could contribute to the surface noise, and it's not necessarily the fault of the vinyl formulation. On the first go-round of test pressing, I was using a new...

Thank you. I sure will.
