Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
Crites speakers are wide.  It looks like more toe in than I really have. They are pointed at me intersecting behind my head.  Wall to Wall sound stage with good depth.  
Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80?
I'm 68.  I love music, not all of it.  However, I always liked the new stuff, synthesizers, etc.  I can usually tell if I like a song right away.  I listen to many kinds of music.  
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
I can't afford them but remember what a stir they made when they came out, and maybe $10,000.  I thought Sasha Daw was the replacement for WP. Out of the loop.  
Where are the front men? (Rant)
Usually, in Qobuz, I can scroll to the bottom and find suggestions or similar artists.  This much better than letting them hand me a playlist.  Meanwhile, if you like Americana or country, there are more male singers.  There have been several who... 
ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
The only specs I care about are output at 8 4 and 2 ohms and current.   
Streamers and software
I had silver plated digital coax, albeit Chinese. This replaced a Pine Tree Audio OCC coax. I then I tried silver coated interconnects. Currently I left those in. I kept OCC interconnects.  So I could go back.  This has been a slo go. The siver I...

Well, I have an Innuous Zen Mark 3 coming with the Nordost Purple flare USB cable. I read in another thread right after I purchased the Zen that the DAC USB connector must be galvanically isolated or it causes problems i.e noise. The Topping has a...

Will Accuphase E-800 be enough to power Klipsch La Scala speakers?
That will be a very nice sounding system!  
«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato
Some of the best lyrics have been coming from the Americana scene.  I realize it's a stretch from jazz and classical.  Artists like teddy Swims, Sturgill Simpson,  Tyler Childress, Zack Bryan for example. Incredible performers.  
Streamers and software
Yes, cat 6 to my streamer.  BT is noisy.  The data rate is 3X more for Qobuz and it seems to add that little extra.   I could probably get by until updates come through.  I was trying to figure out how to erase everything and start over.  Copyin... 
Streamers and software
Thanks all.  Lots of suggestions. I am pretty sure the Qobuz sound was noticeably better.  I am always wringing more out of my system.  I could have done something else at the same time.  But I will try Amazon again.  We are generally in agreemen...

Eversolo, Wiim,Geselli are all the buzz now. I see too many for sale used already. They would all be a step back from where I am. There is a good selection online of Aurender, one Simaudio, innous but might cost close to $2000. I guess that is a ...
