Two questions to make you mad.
@mahgister @donavabdear  With my limited understanding in many fields, I think what we perceive as sound is the result of the change in pressure (vibration) created by the speaker and bouncing through our ear canals and ear drums (simplified expla... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
@2psyop  +1 for Bose.  It rocks! 🤣  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Tonighf we listened to Gerry Mulligan Quartet  - Dragonfly on the Telarc Jazz label.  Always great recordings.  Followed that up with Johnny Adams - Walking on a Tightrope.     
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?
Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll.  I have owned both Sopra 2 and the Zens.  Would only buy either speaker used.    
Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts
@eaglerockcollectibles  Another vote for Audio Mart.  I have used it in Canada many times with 100% success.  And it's FREE. Did I mention it's FREE? 🤣  Pretty sure there's a US site if that's where you are.  
Room Acoustics
@sidog1460  You may want to watch this video.  It's primarily out building the room itself, but has some excellent information on room treatment as well.  I found it very entertaining and informative.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUcfiaN6CY... 
What was your first record?
When I was 13, ('68) the local corner store had a spinning record rack that held 20 LPs.  I bought the original cast release of HAIR.  It was the album cover that attracted me.  Showed it my mother when I got home and she made me take it back.  I ... 
System advice
+1 for the Hegel.  Used H390 or H590. Have owned them both.  Lovely amps.    
Garage into listening room?
Plug in the numbers and have a look.  Just one tool. https://amcoustics.com/tools/amroc?l=20&w=25&h=18&ft=true&r60=0.6      
Corner base trap- to the ceiling?
@ditusa Thanks for posting that Acoustic Fields video.  Makes you wonder what else we spend money on that has no real purpose.  Cheers.  
Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot
@gte357s  I own a balanced transformer from a different manufacturer (Equitech).  In is powered up 24/7 and is cool to the touch always.  I can tell you they specifically say not to put a power conditioner downline of the unit.  My understanding i... 
Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers
I have two glasses of Red Wine in front of me.  Can someone tell me which one I prefer the taste of?  Sorry, but if you have two sets of speakers in your room, and you can't tell which one you prefer, I don't understand how the opinions of others ... 
Seller Unresponsive after payment.
I would start by contacting PayPal and ask for your money back as the product was not delivered.    
Question about suitable fuse metals
This question / statement was put forward on another site.  The idea that replacing a fuse with solid metal, allowing unrestricted current which improves the sound, is based on a false premise because most transformer primary windings exhibit much... 
I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me.
You know what else I miss from those old integrated units?  Those fine speaker connectors.  You know the ones.  You just pushed down on the plastic clip and fed the lamp cord into the hole. 😭   Time waits for no man.......
