Smokin'!!! It was GREAT FUN, Educational too. Cool dudes John and Jeff. I'm a subscriber for life, after meeting the people behind the pages!!!
The serenity of Jeff Wong's photo gives no clue to how loud I was listening to a Jimmie D. Lane and Double Trouble cut from SACD in DUP's system.
DUP, that's good to hear, but, of the two of us, John is the only one behind the pages of Stereophile; I was just tagging along. I think the sense of serenity in this pic has to do with "Rhapsody in Blue" playing at a lowered volume. Had it been the Jimmie D. Lane track at typical DUP levels, this would've looked like a Maxell ad.
No sense of proportion there! I guess John's listening position is less than ten feet from the plane of the speakers. My new apartment forced me to sit less than 10 ft from a pair of Paradigm Reference 80 and had to get rid of them and buy bookshelf spkrs. Big spkrs at that distance simply don't do it.
