The "Snake Oil" Trope
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunnelling As I said, it's a phenomenon, not something that you do to something else. 
Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5
ATC is going to be significantly less forgiving.See, for instance, here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/perfect-match-for-atc-speakers  
New Cable Tweek
It kind of looks like a..... snake. 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
I posted about Quantum Tunneling in another thread, on SR fuses.  Their description of the process changes subtly from one color of fuse to another.As far as my understanding of the concept is concerned, I believe that in scientific discourse it i... 
Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do
It's not them, it's you.Yer, right....

spruiksIs that common in the outback vernacular? 
Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5
I listened to the Spendor Classic 100 in an excellent dealer's system (in the UK) and know the 40.2's well.  This is not a direct orange-to-orange comparison, because the 40.2's were followed by the Anniversary and now the 40.3XD.  I found the Spe... 
Comparing Two Pairs of Mono's
OP: there are many active threads related to both brands over on AudioCircle.  I recommend you take a look around there.

Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5
@redwoodaudio owns or has owned the Grahams.  AFAIK, the only person on A'gon who has them in house.I wouldn't describe the Harbeths as forward, certainly not according to how I understanding that adjective.  By small increments Harbeths have been... 
GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS
I have no doubt that the Technics unit sounds good.  Whether it outperforms other 10K integrated's--that's pretty exalted company--is another question.Focusing just on GaN technology, 10K gets you a pair of AGD Audions + well on your way to a real... 
Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp?
Short answer: it's not a yes/no answer, they do vs. they don't, it's a question of percentages.Long answer: it's impossible to generalize.  Almost every tube preamp is going to have a different design/topology.  Depending on a number of variable f...
