Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound?
I often throw away stereotypes on better sound for bigger money and it works very well. Hey, you never know It might be those high-end wires that do cost a lot and do make a difference you've just experienced. Same pattern only with a LOT larger... 
Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby?
I can only suggest on what not to do:  Don't listen to neither audiophiles nor salesman at hi-fi shop.  Everything else is fine.  
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
It's current, but the future I can see PURE primitive lo-fi made of old scraps  To give you more details, I've just installed near-new old-stock 198x dishwasher. Planning to do same with rest of appliances.   
Contact for Price
that's a car dealer trick can be successfully applied to hifi audio -- Hi thanks for contacting us, but we currently don't have this model, but have a lot better model for you -- No thanks, please have your best of luck with better model  
Best of food and legendary audio
does it mean that value of these speakers are up because of such fact? I do prefer to roll on dinner table though, Never tried on speakers. I need to try to see if it will make difference in the joint quality    
Burning smell
Sir it clearly sounds like safety recall that MUST have warranty. You need to SHAKE Mac Daddy HEAVY so they feel the EARTHQUAKE and listen to you MORE CAREFULLY or as carefully as possible. You should speak the language of The Magnuson-Moss Warra... 
Better hearing
@dweller  what about hunting? I get extremely TIRED wearing ear-muffs and I like the sound of my side-by-side shotgun. Also FAT chicken or beef bone broth is good even if it's fat.  
One key to building great systems over time.
The more money I've made, the less money I've spend on upgrades and finally not spending for upgrades even a notch except I do buy lots of music and currently released vinyl records.   
If you were serious about sound you would...
well modern jazz is real jazz was done before about 1970, that surprises many people but listen to new jazz or smooth jazz That is very cynical "chronology" and stereotype that will never find it’s ground about jazz or "real jazz" meaning. Yes ... 
Room Too Dead
Maan it happens almost every Halloween season in my case. Can't stop playing those vapor-wave dead sounds all day and night long!!!    
Does an upgrade make sense?
Today I think even one of those Bowers & Wilkins DB3D can be perhaps one of the most successful additions to nearly any system with monitor speakers, because it's extremely tight, fast and powerful. I do consider this model the most coherent w... 
New to Streaming
I figured that Qobuz is an audiophile oriented server that has hi resolution for most of mainstream titles. Outside of mainstream Qobuz quality drops too far down.  
New to Streaming
Tidal was always my pref, because it has great choice and best sound I'd say per variety of releases.  I'm always looking for outside of mainstream material via bandcamp and stuff and almost never had been disappointed if I find such desirable ma... 
How do you add color?
For home audio, you can add an equalizer and use it on or off and get any color you want for a lot less hustle.   
Can a tube short without blowing?
6922 in the correct preamp design can last centuries. That includes even Chinese tubes.
