Subwoofer boom is too much for me...
I remember hearing Richard Vandrsteen at AXPONA and laughing. He said the irony of subwoofers is, you spend all this money on them, then, ideally, if they're set up correctly - you don't even notice them!  
Why is everyone so down on MQA?
One nice feature Tidal recently added was the option to view the scrolling lyrics as the song plays. This is nice for my girlfriend/daughters/friends who want to sing along on the PA system. When listening to a random playlist, it’s easy to hear ... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Great thread, I'll be re-visiting this for a long time...great stuff here.My "obscure" addition to this list has to be Root Boy Slim & the Sex Change Band. An enigma if there ever was one. Root Boy was discovered on DC radio by Donald Fagen an... 
Anyone heard the difference between Cullen Crossover and his new Crossover II?
I know this is an old thread, but I came across it when I had the exact same question. I would be using it for either my BAT VK-75se or my PS Audio Dectet. When I emailed Patrick at Cullen, he said the Crossover II would "...throw a slightly large... 
Best debut album
It was mentioned earlier, but I have to say The Pretenders. It wasn't my favorite at the time, but as I "matured", I realized how awesome it is!

Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3
I know this is an older thread, but what did you finally decide on alucard?I recently purchased a set of Focus SE's to go along with my BAT-VK75se's. Can't wait til they arrive!! 
Upgrade from my internal Primaluna phono stage... Audio Alchemy PPA-1? What else?
Just stumbled across this thread. Did you make a decision delay? I just wanted to say I LOVE my PPA-1 & PS-5 power supply. I had a Sutherland Insight prior and I like the AA more. It is DEAD quiet and sounds like it fits all the requirements y... 
Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ?
chazro beat me to it!There is a local high end around here that happens to sell used LP's. So after listening to stuff I'll "probably" never be able to afford, I'll grab an LP or two.Like chazro also, I think it's more for my conscience than their... 
Best rig for "live" music (bootlegs)
Hal - that's quite an impressive list - and room you've got there! I guess I did get a little carried away with my "always" comment, but I remember sometimes being excited about a board tape, only to find the mix for that hall, didn't quite work s... 
Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system
Adrian-I'm in almost the EXACT SAME situation as you (31SE w/ VK-60 on the horizon). What did you eventually go with? I currently have Morrows in my system.Just curious,Bob
