Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please!
Question on the connectivity out from the streamer to the Yggy DAC as noted by @mrmojo. As I understand it, the Aurender only provides USB out. Should I factor in SPDIF out? - I see that the Lumin Pulse offers SPDIF output in addition to USB. Will... 
What would your "perfect speaker" sound like.
Perfect speaker would be no speaker. Music delivered by Star Trek like transporter. @asvjerry, it’s not just you.  
Base trap spacing
“To be honest the ocd in me it drives me nuts. They are cut to be put in the corners for a reason.” 😀, your head would explode if you saw my room. I have GIK 1D Alpha panels stacked in front of my corner traps in two corners of my room.  
Base trap spacing
Isn’t it good to have some space between the wall and the absorption devices.?  
Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post?
@tonydennison, I check Audio Asylum every day to see if there’s anything new in the planar threads. New posts there are scant. MUG seems to have kicked the bucket a long time ago. It used to be pretty lively there in olden times.  
DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest?
@jjss49, there was nothing wrong with your response. Your assessment of the OP is spot on. He’s just trying to start some s#!+ and deserves to be ignored.

Burn in vs perception
I never put much stock in electronics burn in until I got a pair of PS audio M700s. After the first 3 days, I wanted to send them back to the hell from whence they came. There was lots of blare and glare in the upper mid/lower treble range. It was... 
When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi???
If I had debate team, I would try to recruit holydean as the lead. As for hifi/midfi, I only know what makes me happy within my budget and hifi/midfi be damned. Seems the OP left this thread to float like a big ol’ turd in a tub.  
Stereophile and the love of hotel decor
As a photography enthusiast, I totally get it. Photos like these make me cringe a little.  
What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?
Dire Straits-Private Investigations  Almost any song by Dominique Fils-Aime Bella Sonas- Enamoured (album) every song on this album has great depth  
Advice on how to liquidate system
@jl1ny, I feel for ya. I know how disgusted you must feel but as others have said, give it some time. If you feel like you must sell, The Music Room as someone has suggested might be a good solution. Someone mentioned acupuncture. I’ve used acupu... 
Any Thoughts?

Audio Research Dog
Used to be one of my passions as well. My brother and I had a photo processing business back in the day. Had a camera around my neck everywhere I went. You certainly have a good eye.
