Are REL the most Musical Subs?
Dual Rythmick F-12s owner here. Flawless integration. Soix is 100% correct, two subs is a must in stereo application. Placement is also paramount. They should be on different walls at different location. I have one a third down along the left wall...

Is Recording quality the real culprit?
In fact, just now I discovered a Jazzraush Bigband album named Bangers only! A German big band mixing jazz with electronics from Germany. Take a listen, very well recorded and good fun upbeat music.  
Is Recording quality the real culprit?
Consider yourself lucky when you mention many artists do things well when it comes to recording quality. In my experience it is unfortunately the other way around. I venture that less than 20% of music recorded between the sixties and today are wh... 
Jay’s Audio CD Transport
@no_regrets  I have had the Jay's cdt2-mk3 for probably over two years. It has always worked flawlessly. For the future I also bought a backup CDM4/19 Phillips module so it will last me a lifetime. It is built like a tank and feels like one. The ... 
Gustard N18 Pro LHY FMC switches.
The N18 PRO looks to be a copy of the LHY SW-10. I would have probably gone for it if it was available when I purchased my LHY.  
Gustard N18 Pro LHY FMC switches.
Not familiar with the Gustard N18 switch. I own the X26 PRO, A26, U18 and C18. However for the switch I went with the LHY SW-10 for the following reasons. 1) It has a connection for a master clock and 2) it can take an optical isolation feed in an...

The silver one being such a beauty on my rack, I can't imagine the black one being anything less, black being your thing.   
Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble?
In my case, it depends on wether it's digital or analog. Overall, highly detailed in digital leads to some fatiguing in my experience. I easily remedy it by using sine wave from my master clock to all digital components. Square wave is just too sh... 
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
Why arguing about what old farts and younger generations like. Big deal, everybody is different and that's a good thing. From 78s to streaming it has always been about the music. Arguing about how to play it is fruitless, to each his own. I do a l... 
Stack Audio Products Review
@tkrtrb125  They recommend placing it right before the streamer. That's where I started, then just before the optical isolation and finally right after the wifi extender and I went back and forth multiple times. In the end, I couldn't tell any di...

@jfrmusic  I got the same exact experience with the SmoothLan. My Triode Labs Freedom ethernet cable goes first into an optical isolation bundle (with LPS) then into a LHY SW-10 switch which is connected to the Innuos ZENith mk3 streamer via a 16...

Ditto, Innuos ZENith mk3. Matches all of your requests.      
Toe in is crucial
In my house of stereo with PBN MONTANA XPS speakers, I have zero toe-in. I learned from an audiogon member, that if your room is properly dimensioned and treated, there is no need for toe-in. I tried every toe-in imagineable before but I no longer...
