Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
Many dealers and online audio companies have a "try it out first" policy. About 3/4 of my equipment was purchased this way. But I also went to my dealer on two 4 hour listening sessions since he sells equipment from his home. Don Better in Shaker ... 
It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun
A Rolex does not mean anything to me. Maybe I might think of someone who is gullible and needs some kind of internal psychological assurance that people will see it and think they are special in some strange way?

Good luck, not sure I would ever do that but it's just money.  
What happen to MQA on Tidal?
Yeah Randyhat, I just listen to what sounds good to me. But live and let live, if someone gets their panties bunched up by MQA and doesn't like it, so be it.  
What happen to MQA on Tidal?
I just listen to Qobuz or Tidal and the max resolution they have. I don't worry about the format, just what sounds good to me. I guess I can't understand why so many people fuss about it. There seem to be far more differences in album production a... 
ELEMENTS THAT AUDIOPHILE SPEAKERS REQUIRE
I am going to throw this into the mix. Car insurance companies ALWAYS advertise that they have the cheapest rates. Many times..that is what the consumer focuses on. But what happens when you need to make a claim? What is the customer service ACTU... 
Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please!
Norust. I respect everyone's opinions who have moved on to more expensive streamers. But I did what you did and stopped at the Bluesound Node with PD Creative PS and Denafrips Pontus 12th anniversary. It sounds so good to me but when I wanted to ... 
Another Fedex problem...
Thanks for the suggestions. I will contact Fedex and also take the advice to select my own preferred Fedex drop off location, which I have had to do anyway.  
If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound?
Hey jasonbourne. I think the first consumer CD player was introduced by Sony in 1982. The CDP-101. I was in Germany at the time (in the US Army) and my buddy bought one at the post exchange. Also Philips (the co-developer of the CD player) introdu... 
Dumping McIntosh for Bose
There are the Bentlys in audio and the Hugos. It’s been proven that sometimes one pays a Bently price but gets parts you’d expect to find in a Hugo. Danny Richie made youtube videos where he opened up an expensive speaker and found crossovers poor... 
How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions?
Many of these questions are already addressed by manufacturers. In Europe and other areas there is a tendency to like aesthetics more and companies often cater to that sense. Europe has many audio engineers and design professionals in audio compan... 
A step to the side- Smart TV question
Well folks the verdict is in. After looking at TVs at Costco, Sam’s Club and Best Buy (which are the only places around me to shop) I was in Best Buy for the third time and the LG rep was there talking to a salesman and made me an offer I couldn’t... 
A step to the side- Smart TV question
Lots of votes for Sony (no baloney). I think I'll get either a Sony OLED or LG OLED.  Thanks to all for your input.  
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
I think people post and share as much as they are comfortable doing so. Some people don’t really want to partake or interact as much as others. I have patipipated and had get togethers and listening sessions that goes far beyond what some audiophi...
