Qobuz Connect
Probably internet most of the time,   
Tough Nut Cones Isolation for loudspeakers, brilliant solution over spikes
Springs under the subs work well. I have Herbies stuff under components.  I wonder what the difference would be with cones?  
Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows
I'm a believer is a Monkees song?  Good song Dancing on the ceiling is OK the other two are silly but OK.  A good example of silly but great song is Lime in the coconut.  Incredible voice and recording.   
My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.)
I purchased a DAC right about the time tariffs were starting. It was used.  As I looked around and talked to vendors, I got the feeling that returns, manuals, customer service were not a priority.  These were all Chinese companies.  The difference... 
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
I have lots to say!  I like almost every kind of music. I thought I would try out some classical.  Back when I thought I had a good stereo.  Definitely passable.  Always had a nice sized room. I as a member of BMG CD service.  I could get them fo... 
Old SS amps
Might not have all the numbers straight but I like the 74ish Marantz 2035. 2135?  Cat Steven's,!   I didn't like Sansui, Kenwood, Pioneer but could be mixed up. Magnapans were too much for Ampzilla, Quattre.  I believe we settled on SAE. We ha... 
Your first concert was to see who and when?
Iowa State Fair 1975 Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Head East. Pretty much a day of it, back when bands just played and didn't worry about how long.  
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
I realized something the other day.  I have always listened to music. I had a system but just no attention to details. Now I have mostly newer equipment and Qobuz.   I hear things in songs that were a surprise to me.  So many more details and bet... 
Tannoy or Volti
I have the XA25 with horns after 5 years, I  have everything sounding pretty good. But I  am used to it I guess.  I go way back, almost. Advents, etc Here is what I've heard myself and read.  I assume other models would have a similar sound signa... 
Tannoy or Volti
It's nice to have a full complement of amps.   Klipsch is or has upgrading the LaScala and Klipschorns.  The changes look very positive.  Otherwise Volti Rival. I am told the Tannoy has a very warm sound.  I only heard a smaller one, Cheviot or ... 
How old is too old?
Buy a streamer.  It can sound better.   There are less repairman and less parts than ever. For 3k you can surpass your Sacd  
Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair.
There is a new update coming for Klipschorns or LaScalas.  Those would be serious contenders.  The Bryston is just wrong for the speaker direction you want.  I would sell that.  $3 to $5k will get you a nice tube amp or small Class A solid state. ... 
Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s
Back when people actually had to s I ng without something enhancing or changing. In no order.  Beatles, temptations,  delphonics, CSNY, Fleetwood Mac so many.    
Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community
I felt much of it is those who care or understand audio and those who don't.   
Any modern rock recommendations?
There is more music than ever.  Local artists here are even on the streaming services. I am not sure when you got behind on music but here are some. Jack White or White Stripes. One of the current best guitarists.  Racquanteurs is his other band ...
