Audio Purchase scam that is happening almost every month
Thank you for this post. My wife was just about to bite on a scam like this. Based on what I read here yesterday, I recognized what was going on and we were able to stop the transaction before any damage was done. Now she has the joy of communicating to the other party that she will be reporting...- russtafarian

There is a smarter way
Mid-side processing is a powerful tool. I'm curious to know what you use to move from stereo to M + S and back. You can message me if you don't want to get into it here. Thanks.- russtafarian

Mediocre recordings with great gear vs great recordings with mediocre gear?
As a part-time sound engineer I spent years figuring out how to make bad bands and/or bad PA systems sound at least somewhat musical for the audience. I take the same approach with my hi-fi.

Ron’s New System
Ron is a gracious host who allowed Steve and I to play some of our weird $h!t records like Shpongle and early King Crimson. The highlight of the evening for me was tape playback. Every tape Ron played exuded tonal density and sounded gloriously lush. The Doors stuff pushed me towards blissful...- russtafarian

5.1+ Processors with Best DACs/Preamps?
Unfortunately, the high-end home audio industry has abandoned those of us who enjoy multi-channel audio. You will probably have to turn to the post-production studio market to find what you're looking for. Here are examples of 5.1/7.1 monitor controllers. SPL SMC 7.1 Surround Controller Black -... -

Ron’s New System
I was part of the crew who came by last Saturday. This was a celebration amongst friends for the launch of Ron's new system. We talked. We ate. We sipped. We shared great records and tapes. We had a good time! What did I hear? A combination of components I've not heard before, all in various...- russtafarian

Ron’s New System
I do. I use a pair of Noble Kaiser 10 IEMs as a reference when tuning speakers in my room. These In Ear Monitors effectively seal out the sound of the room while music is playing. Once level matched, I can pop the earphones in and out of my ears and instantly hear the difference between the...- russtafarian
