Decline or accept upon receipt of damaged gear
Depends on how you paid for it and from what seller! I bought a Yamaha GT-2000 TT from Japan and the box was visibly damaged, and so was the dust cover. Canceled payment with CC company, sent pics in to seller, they said we will evaluate a refund ... 
Power Cables and Wall Sockets
Does it make any sense to use a small spade or ring terminal crimped to the romex when we install our new audiophile outlets? I can't think of anywhere else we would use a bare wire connection or un-terminated except inside of a piece of gear or a... 
Anyone ever measure audio research Ref 6 Power usage?
Man that's my dream preamp right now. If It's a good price I'd grab it. I wouldn't worry about the wattage. On the other hand if you've got 15 to 20 grand You could possibly do better.   
Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4
I have 802 series 3 with Troels Gravenson crossover upgrade powered by Brystons, someone mentioned more toe-in,  Ive done this and it's been fantastic. B&W doesn't get much love on this forum it seems. It's mandatory I use subs.   
Let me explain something to you jive turkeys.
We just brought our grandkids to Disney they rode Aerosmith rock n roll ride. There 14 and 16 years old and never heard of them. I called em snowflakes yes I did but I also said they didn't miss anything. Is this relevant to the conversation?

Electric cars will ruin late night listening?
 I need a truck and Tesla quit counting how many they pre sold at 750,000. How long will I have to wait! Also, why wouldn't you be able to charge the battery while it's running, a generator could turn while the motor is spinning and keep the batte... 
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile
Ive replaced the freya with a rogue RP 7 and at first I was hugely disappointed and put the freya back in, but now have the rouge in place for  several months and will remove it in April and go back with the freya plus, to really compare these two... 
Anyone else here interested in, or built, or even heard Folded Well Diffusers??
Dennis quoted me 3,000 to 4,000 for his carbon technology, says it's the only thing guaranteed to work and I need a lot for my small room.   
Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
@grannyring Where do you suggest I get me some really heavy duty heat shrink as such. Needed for speaker and power cords. The parts express stuff I bought is not up to the task  
Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
Ive invested heavily into Furutech, Should I be concerned about my furutech plugs not lasting!   
Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers?
Man I had Yamaha hs-8's and a marantz 8801 pre and they were great for HT. I was even gonna buy a single for a center  and two more for surrounds. All those power cords are harder to manage than speaker cables though so  I sold them.   I could abs... 
Check this system out!
I've done a lot of work in uptown NOLA, his gear is fantastic I'd bet the mansion he's living in on Prytania is worth more than the gear. New Orleans would've fell to the wayside if it wasn't for guys like this buying and restoring these mansions ... 
How does Roon's version of radio compare to Pandora's genome project?
I'm new to roon but one day on roon radio it was the best experience I had, every tune was a different tune I've never heard before. Four hours of blues and almost every song was good, fast forward and now it's not so good, and tidal just plays wh... 
Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ...
I guess I'm fortunate to not bother with specs, only for component matching.  I've been turned off by the measurement crowd and never even look at any of there post.  I could tell an audible difference in several minutes with the handful of amps a...
