It’s true what they say/and a question
I hadn’t heard of them. Thx! So, my first impression was they reminded me of the Keith Jarrett Trio on a live recording. It’s also interesting that their Music representative is ECM records. Which is very uncanny since Keith Jarret recorded for EC... 
YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics.
I think it’s rather fitting that us older generation is leading the way on YouTube. It’s also fitting that the music dies with us since we were exposed to the greatest music ever recorded from the 60’s to the 80’s. Don’t you think? The younger gen... 
Recommendation for tube preamp
I love the BAT products. Currently I have a Dennis Had Inspire which is as good as I’ve had.   
Battle of the Older DAC
Mine is from 2017. I simply enjoy the music and don’t sweat doing an upgrade.   
Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets
I had 2 20 amp circuits put in 15 years ago. Best investment I ever made. The gift that keeps on giving!  
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
Who cares about the future. All we have is now. Enjoy whatever format you prefer while you’ve got ‘em! I won’t be giving up my vinyl or cd’s!  
Electrostatics and tubes
I’ve owned 10 different types of Martin Logan’s for 32 years. From 3 different sets of CLSiiz’s to Summitt X’s. The story of current ML’s being inefficient is tied to the fact they were 20 years ago. Not anymore. So buy your 9’s and simply enjoy t... 
VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables
VPI made turntable cleaning machines when no one else were making them. Kudos to them!!!  
MoFi v/s UHQR
I have both. and generally prefer the AP releases. Each recording varies on performance. Being a jazz man I recently acquired a Mofi 45 rpm limited pressing of an Aretha Franklin Gold pressing that sells for $200, and up from many sellers, for $85... 
Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means?
There’s a LOT of extremely great performing 1 box solutions, aka integrated amplifiers.  
Need new pre amp
Definitely buy a used BAT preamp for warmth. I’ve had many, and I’ll never own a different brand!  
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
Buy used from a reputable seller with a guaranteed return. Pocket the $20k and enjoy!  
You're not a true audiophile unless...
Unless you have tubes and a turntable! :)  
Where Do I Go from Here?
It’s not worth blowing your retirement savings! By all means, be happy and content with what you have, for it’s a lot better than most. Simply enjoy it!  
Jazz for aficionados
It’s fabulous to see this thread getting so much love here on AG. I would have never guessed there were so many jazz listeners here. Keep the flame burning, and on vinyl if you’ve got it!
