Regular interconnect or digital?
Thanks, people, for your help.  I am checking them out.  
Regular interconnect or digital?
So I need 1m cable to DAC.  Any recommendations?  
How Audiphiles are Different
It would be a really droll industry if everyone liked the same speakers, amp, room treatment etc etc.  No need for going to audio shows. Or visiting showrooms.  We are individuals with vastly differing tastes and viewpoints.  And it changes with a... 
Analog vs. digital
Vinyl CAN sound superior to anything digital but you'll have to spend a lot more to get to that level.  Then, a 180 gm record is about 3 or 4 times the price of one month of Qobuz.    
Upgrade path direction
I can't recommend these but the articles I have read on the new JBL's and KLH are really interesting and thought provoking.  I want to audition them myself.  
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
Hipsters do not do it because of the way it sounds.  They like the cool brand of athletic clothing,  they like vinyl or cassettes because retro is cool, they need to do cool stuff, so everyone can see how cool they are.  Cool!  
Introducing Myself
Welcome to Supatrac.  Along with advertising, I've found that even the mildest of cusswords will get you deleted.  Even if it is just an adjective.  
Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp
I had Adcom separates in the 90's.  They are not a high quality product.  I actually GAVE them away.  
hearing loss and amp choices
This one is so easy. If your right ear has the problem, turn your head so it faces the left speaker.  Shazam!  Works for me.

New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing.
My Maggie dealer tells me  all Magnepans are on back order.  This a legit company and I have no doubt they will make things right, in time.  Seems they are having parts not being shipped on time and of course, labor problems like everyone else.  
Definitely a good listen
Nonoise, I wish I had a local jazz station to listen to.  I do not use the internet radio, seems to be about like satellite radio, meaning it sounds washed out.  
The vanishing stereo rack
Hey, i have a Sony boombox with built in cassette and CD and a bass boost button.  What more would you want?  
How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD
Use a sealed box sub with Maggies,  servo controlled as well.  Much faster than a ported design.  And do not put it in a corner,  I have mine next to the electroncs rack and in between the Maggies.  
Is There A Device For Home Use That Can Measure How Low The Bass In My Speakers Is?
Listen to Chayro,  The Stereophile test CD will tell you.  Common sense tells you when it becomes inaudible, you have passed the bottom end.
