I did in fact call Soundsmith about this, and was told Peter would call me back.  As of today he hasn’t .   And that’s ok I’m sure he’s got a couple of things going on.  I decided on the stock rebuild they offer anyway.  Part of my confusion was k...

Hey thanks for the clarification. I like the existing sound and was nervous about changing it.  
OT: Espresso machines
@2005 I’d had enough of terrible expensive espresso. Sprung for a Rancilio Silvia and Rocky grinder.  Brass boiler commercial parts in a consumer machine.  Like our audio equipment, stretch the budget just a little, and you’ll never be disappointe...

Those magical days when the HVAC is off
I have a very small floor fan @20 feet away (on low, circulating that cool air),  and a hepa filter on low @ 10 feet away.  You’d swear you can’t hear them while running.  BUT,, put some music on,, then turn air movers off.  Huge improvement in cl...

Great info.  Thanks to everyone.  This will be a journey.  And moving furniture a bit I’m sure. Very cool stuff   
Hemi Sync Recordings
Monroe Institute is real deal.  Tones alone worked for me-not imbedded in music.  Long story distilled down…@14 years ago I suffered a reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus.  Auto immune response demyelinated peripheral nerves in legs and feet.  I wa...
