Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
@botrytis " Ears can lie" Well, they're YOUR ears, so who would they be lying to? How something measures is irrelevant. How something sounds is the relevant parameter. It's your system, who cares how it sounds to someone else? (or how it meas... 
Music first or sound first?
For me, no matter what, it's the music that matters. It has to move me.

Objective, Subjective, whatever. ASR sucks and Amir is a complete toolbox.

Ugggghhhhhh......    
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
@secretguy , So because it didn't improve your system, it can't possibly work for anyone else? Huh. Honestly, an audiophile fuse in my preamp was one of my best/cheapest upgrades.  
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
ASR encourages people to listen to measurements, not the actual product being measured. I've seen enough of their schtick to last me a lifetime.    
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
@wolf_garcia , well, at least you've tried one. I'm curious how many naysayers in this thread have actually TRIED an audiophile grade fuse. Probably in the neighborhood of 10%, I'd guess. I do find it interesting that some people (myself include...

I have (and swear by) SR fuses. I currently use Purples and Oranges in almost all my components. I've not heard the new Pink one, though. That being said, I would imagine the higher end your equipment, the better match the more expensive models ... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@laoman  Lots of people have purchased them. I have a pair of Enzo XL's (though they are currently in storage). I purchased them because I wanted a custom color (in my case, "Frog Green"), the unique design, the price and the front ports on the s... 
Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old…
@rolox , +1. It does get old after awhile, doesn't it?  In any event,  @toddcowles , give the new cables a shot and see where it gets you. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised.    
Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old…
The audio chain is only as strong as its' weakest link. While I wouldn't say cables are a tone control, they certainly have a bearing on the overall projected sound. If you have nice gear, crappy cables can stand out like a sore thumb.  
Extra sets of Cables to switch up system?
I keep a couple of different sets of cables. I'm happy with what's in there, but every once in a while, or if I get a new piece of gear, I'll swap things around. Usually I end up exactly where I am currently am, but it's nice to hear the differenc...
