Master Set

Dear mofimadness,
The term Master Set, as coined by Rod Tomson, has been around for nearly 20 years. Many of the posts about how to do it were written by me, and reflected my own understanding and efforts to do it.
What I posted yesterday is the nearest to the original Sumiko procedure, and seemed to me much like Rod originally explained to me many years ago.
For years, those who attended the Sumiko seminars and classes were sworn to secrecy about the whole thing. Thus, it was never posted anywhere.
What I posted yesterday differs enough from my posts to make it worth posting, and it works better.
Also, there previously had been no dedicated thread to Master Set. Posts have always been in some other thread, found through searches. I thought that the original Sumiko procedure deserved it's own thread.

@sharri...I know Rod Tomson quite well. He has owned Soundings in Denver since 1986.

I also have been to a lot of seminars on this procedure and actually have seen it done by Stirling Trayle.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be flippant with my above comments! It just seems every few years someone will post about Master Set as being some kind of "new" procedure...and it isn’t.

Hi mofi, I've known Rod since 1994. He got all my spare money for nearly 10 years. Now I live in Australia and haven't been to Denver for a long time. So, since you know more about the procedure than me, is my depiction of the audioaficinado post accurate?

is my depiction of the audioaficinado post accurate?

Yes, it's right on.  Again, sorry I didn't mean any disrespect towards your post.  I interpreted it as a "new" method, which it isn't.

Rod sold me my first pair of true high-end speakers, (DCM Time Windows) when he worked for Listen Up in the late 70's and early 80's.  I traded them back in for a pair of Magnepan MGIIA's and have never owned anything but panels since then. 

Rod is one of my favorite people in this business, which I was in for over 25 years, so I got to know him pretty well.

Sorry again.
