Does listening to music increase your IQ?
Saw King Crimson a few weeks ago. WOW. If triple drumming was an olympic sport, they would win the gold every time. And keep an ear on Levin, oh my!Other than that, while music listening may make you smarter, talking about it can easily make you d... 
I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank....
I use SKW RCA cables, available on amazon. They provide a noticeable improvement over cheapo cables and won't break the bank. The sound improvement in the connection between my CD player and preamp was actually shocking. 
New cables - To judge now or after burn in period?
I installed new 4s11 canare speaker cables with double wiring to fit my recently acquired PBN speakers. I got about 30 hours on the cables and they have been all over the map so far, specially the first 25 hours. Sometime bass lacking, sometimes p... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Don't mean to break the flow, but I am seating watching King Crimson right now in Cedar Park Texas. Intermission. 3 drummers, 7 musicians! Start of 2nd set now, in the court! Heaven on earth. 
A true legend has passed away! ' Set it and forget it '
RIP Rusty Hill.Don't have time to check if there was a mention of him on this site. But this is mine. Will miss this Texas rocking legend. Thanks for the memorable concerts and albums. You will be missed.

Thanks for the posting a system instructions MC. 
When someone listens to your system for the first time.
Half of the people posting about their system on this page don't have their system listed. That always amazes me. Please share your systems, it's the only way to know you a little. The rest is just words. 
Noise floors
Glass half empty, glass half full, count me in for the latter.

Glad I have tinnitus, no more worries about that remaining noise you can't eliminate, it will always be there anyway 🙂

I no longer experience noise. Whisper quiet split AC unit verses central air duct. Triple pane 4" thick windows. 3" thick solid wood door, sound proof walls and ceiling construction on concrete floor. I see the outdoors but never hear it. Even con...

Where do you put your money?
Glad to see most have kept a good sense of humor about this one.  Obviously a difficult subject to approach and evaluate. However it's obvious that there are as many ways to approach this hobby as there are people. Of course my numbers seem skewed...

Happy Friday. Bad day to run a survey? Or maybe folks don't want to reveal how they go about building their system. 🤔 
Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels
@emailists You are correct, the install was probably not done properly. In my slightly over 2700 cubic feet listening room, we used 71 large cartridges of green glue and 21 of sealant. For those who think quietrock is expensive, think again. Conve... 
Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels
Double 5/8" sheetrock with green glue sandwiched in the middle. Proven technology. Install it on offset studs or resilient channels with sound isolation clips and that's a good start.
