Which Ethernet filter?
+1 @audphile1    agreed on good components. Very important!  
Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true?
I think a double blind test is called for!   Regards, barts      
Hyperacusis. Looking for recommendations
I have been diagnosed with misophonia which is very close to hyperacusis. Misophonia is an emotional response, whereas hyperacusis is a physical response.  Both can be very debilitating.  My case is on the mild side and basically amounts to some ... 
Why is Audiogon checking my browser?
No worries Capcha will be antiquated in the not-to-distant future as AI becomes even more prevalent.   I didn't know bots were scammers...must be hard to pack up gear when it has no arms or legs. BTW, I have never had the Capcha screen come up o... 
Owning Up To It
First off this is not even close to my favorite band, in fact very forgettable.  But an incredible deal none the less. This is early 70's...a casual friend of mine got tickets to see Rick Wakeman at Madison Square Garden and offered me one for fr...

Chord DAVE DAC
@jackhifiguy  At this point I don't believe that there is any category of equipment that is "end game" at a purely technical level.  It may be "end game" to you though. Point is I would think long and hard about dropping $14k on a DAC.  If there... 
MoFi controversy
@tomcy6  "In order to be transparent (very important in this discussion),, I have learned that Chad Kassem, owner of Analogue Productions, only does reissues of albums that he can get the master tapes for at his facilities." You are correct in t... 
Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling?

Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . .
@last_lemming The naysayers kinda crack me up. I mean ALL of the music you listen to and love is EQ’d (also there is no Easter Bunny). As long as you can’t hear the difference in bypass mode then by all means EQ to your hearts content. Regards...
