Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!!
I could be crazy but part of it is our ears getting used to what we are listening to.  All the stuff I bought was broken in before I played it  It is best to work out the woofer a bit to loosen it up.  It's all about the bass, that bass. 
Wow an old album that rocked your world
Kraftwerk: several albums/tracks. Their remastered versions are sonically perfect.Tommy James and the Shondells: Crystal Blue Persuasion Hammond, harmonies, acoustic guitar, echo. Ahead of it’s time? Peter Gabriel: "So" may not qualify as being ol... 
Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
I heard the $7K Paradigm Persona(I think) on stands sounded really smooth, detailed, neutral and had good bass for their size. Actually they stopped me in my tracks.  
Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best?
I have had two rear firing subs placed between my speakers for years.  As I started more critical listening, I noticed dips.  I purchased corner bass traps.  This really evened out the response.  Then I talked to GIK and have purchased bass traps ... 
Religious music for less than devout
Elvis Complete Gospel Recordings.  Quite good sound and oh can he sing or did you already know that.There was also "I Saw the Light" that my mom and I used to sing together.  I think it was Hank Williams.  I grew up with this stuff.  Lots of Maste... 
Another streaming newbie
I didn't know squat a few months ago and didn't even know how to ask the questions.  So I ended up buying a Node 2I refurbished for 420 and a Topping D90 for 630. Both the topping and the bluesound app have volume control so I plug the DAC directl... 
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
Brian Eno, King Crimson, Beatles, Peter Gabriel.  My son introduced me to Grandmaster Flash and Dr. Dre.  Need to branch out from there.  #oldmendodorapnhiphop 
Magico vs the world
Unless some pot of gold falls out of the sky, I won't own these.  I personally found the 30K Sonus Faber/MAC more enjoyable than Wilson Sasha DAW/Audio Research.  Also like the Paradigm sound.  So many brands out there but Magico seems to have ple... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Roger Waters.  Amused to Death.  Came through at 192 kHz.  Diversity of styles, sound all excellent!  State of the art recording.  
RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000?
I am really enjoying the Topping D90. It improved every aspect of sound from my system.  I got it for 630 from Apos Audio who will let you return it but I would be very surprised if you did.  This has the AKM 4499 with other high quality component... 
Node 2i performance suggestions pls
I did the Cat 6 and cord.  Both better.  Then  I bought a Topping D90 and that was a big difference.  There are lots of other brands of good DAC.  Schiit, Denafrips, Sabaj, Border Patrol, Chord, Mytek, Lumin to name a few.  I connected it with a c... 
Best DAC for my system?
Bluesound Node 2i with Topping D90.  This made a huge improvement for me.  It improved every aspect of my system's sound.  Apos Audio matches prices and I got mine for 630.  The other day they were available for 640.  30 day money back trial.  The... 
Getting it on with Prog
Can Future Days. It’s a trip to Germany but not on a plane.Spirit Adventures of Captain Kopter. "Nice" rockTrio Da Da Da.  Pulsing repetitiveness but you won't turn it off after you are bobbing your head and upper torso 
What are you streaming tonight?
Laurie Anderson  Strange Angels and Sharky's Night.  Superb sound. 
Basic Digital questions
A few months ago.  I didn't even know what questions to ask.  So I ended up with a Bluesound Node 2i streamer.  Almost unlimited music at your fingertips is great.  And with Hi Rez music it sounds good too.  Even by itself without a DAC it sound b...
