Millercarbon, I read a post on here today from yesterday I believe, that had you describing your experience listening to Run Like Hell. It’s those experiences that make this hobby worth it. 
How good are $2 DACs?
Interesting read. I read an article a few months ago about a blind test on streaming services at different levels of quality. Professional studio engineers were assembled since it was assumed their job was listening to music and determining its qu...

When Did Your System Disappear?
Fixing my room was when my system disappeared. Thanks to GIK Acoustics! 
What do you think of Q-sound recordings?
@millercarbon  I agree, but I want to see if others feel the same way. I have recordings that were very well recorded with very wide and deep sound stages that don’t use this technology. There was a very good engineer at the board. I personally li... 
How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all??
The trouble with stereo equipment reviews is that they are not blind reviews. The reviewer knows the brand and price before they sit down to listen. I would like to see a blind review from one of the Stereophile reviewers of several amps, speakers... 
The Orb......Metallic Spheres
@tuberist    I had not tried Shpongle until now. I listened to a couple of cuts on Youtube. Very similar style to The Orb. Thanks for mentioning them!

Steakster, I would love to have had the opportunity to sit with a reviewer and experience the process he used for critical listening. I'm sure you learned a lot!

The closest cities to me are Indianapolis and Cincinnati. There is a great dealer in Indianapolis that I've purchased a couple of items from, but their "listening rooms" are all very cluttered with equipment. I hoped for a treated room that was se... 
Trivializing AudiogoN...........ie: what I have is the best...
I’m of the opinion that the real payoff in the chase for the "perfect" system is when you are playing cards with friends and you have the music playing and one of the guys stops and listens to a song and says something like...dang...that sounds re... 
If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing?
I have a great local dealer who works with me and their employees all know their stuff. I’ve purchased new and used and traded in equipment on new. It’s awesome to talk with people who have had many different customers all with different listening...
