I just looked up the retail price. I would love to visit your shop someday, not that I'm in that kinda market, but to hear your products. For me it's a drive across alligator alley.

Sorry for the late reply. The feet made a very nice improvement. The usual stuff we all like to talk about.

That's beautiful. Maybe I'll try it on my pine CD wine boxes.

Good points, but I wonder about live recordings. I know the basic mic-ing techniques. Went to school for it, not that I remember it all at this point. But when you hear that real space, the reverb of the place, on a good stereo, I think we're getting closer to how the real thing sounded.. Sure...

@MontanaJoe (and the rest) That was a great and passionate essay. But isn't it funny that we've all gone into pizza talk? I'm so hungry that I think I'll get one tonight. Some simple thin crust Margarita that's available around here.

I had a similar experience when I recently added Isoacoustics Gaia Neo feet to the speakers. In my case they are on a wood floor, with a pair of RELs with down firing passive 10" drivers right next to them, so I guess it makes sense. But like you say, it was night & day. - and for a nice change...

Scamorza? I asked my girlfriend who lived in Italy for many years. She knew it. Now I'm craving a Chicago pizza made with Scamorza... I wonder if they deliver to Florida. Hey, Gino's East does, frozen. You never know. That's on my list of tasks for today :)

Hey, I'm in SoFlo. I need to look up the pizza places you mentioned! On your primary topic, well said. I have a stereo system that in total costs less than some of the mega-bucks DACs discussed here. I love it. I'm proud of it. It sounds great. It's been a long and fun journey, but I wouldn't...

Welcome from Florida!

I've seen her once before. She made a nice video for Cardas -

Maybe have your friend look at the engineering-based innovations / patents and improvements made in sound quality and transmission of signals over wires from Bell Labs / ATT on up through the years.

ASR dissed my amp! (I love the thing), and then they go on to say DACs are DACs and make no difference. The differences are so blatantly obvious to my ears. Can we measure or somehow quantify soundstage width / depth / height, or separation of instruments, or the reverb of a real space - with...

Ha. Good analogy, so true.

Yeah, agree. I've gotten to a point now (and I'm not talking big bucks compared to some here) where everything makes a difference. Getting a 'loom' of good wires, adding good feet to everything, switching this or that tube(s) is so obviously noticeable. It's cool and I'm happy, - for now. -...

I wish π day could go on forever.
