Mad Scientist Graphene Contact Enhancer
I have many uses for vaseline on my aging body, so there is not enough left for my wires.  
Cd transport
So cable upgrades are fruitless and now CD transports are too according to negative Nancy. My Jay's cdt2 mk3 is a monumental rebuttal to those claims. I owned a ps audio pwt cd transport and a Cambridge CXC and the Jay's has simply put them to sha... 
Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k
In that price range +1 on the Sierra towers with raal recommendation. Had a pair for 8 years, great imaging and depth, wide soundstage, very airy and detailed with yet excellent bass.  
Beware poor sounding media
Poor sounding records are plentiful. That's why I appreciate the options to semi control some of their inadequacies. More specifically tone down the bright ones and liven up the dull ones. On digital I do it with the DAC OS filters and NOS setting... 
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
PBN Montana XPS speakers. 214 lbs each. 5'9" tall with spikes on 2" thick butcher block. You can see them in my system right now.  
Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources??
I've had a TTW V2 ring for years. You can see it on a pic in my system. I use it for every record, flat or not. It is incredibly simple to use once you get into the habit of doing it. I have never had an issue with it interfering with either the V... 
Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers
The good thing about Rythmick subs is they are down the street from me in Austin for easy pick up. The bad thing about all the other brands is I have to pay dearly to get those big heavy bad boys shipped to me. Guess what brand dual subs I have.  
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding

Make sure you don't sit on that flute 😯  
Best progressive rock album side
@simonmoon  Don't worry about the negative nancies. I listen to the few bands you listed as recent prog and really liked All traps on Earth A drop of light. More punch than the others in a zeul sort of way. Saw Magma live in Geneva Switzerland ar... 
A first
Frankly, most people I know who truly care about sound are on this site and other audiophile sites. My buddies could give a crap about sound even the ones who love music. Got only a handful of people in my house of stereo so far and all were amaze... 
Chill Out; Get Outside of yourself
Preaching to the choir. In my younger days I climbed half the 54 Colorado fourteeners. Skied a few and even mountain biked one. The world viewed from the top is the most serene thing you can do. Now at 67, it's time to rest 🙂  
Buyer Beware
Not an issue for me. NEVER buy from any seller on any site with less than a handful of feedbacks. I have turned down no feedbacks buyers left and right and sold a dozen items to multiple positive feedbacks only customers and never had a single pr...
