Cowboy Bebop Remake - The best Jazz on TV?
Cowboy Bebop was fun.  Never watching the anime it still stood on its own for what it is.  As for the jazz I enjoyed the music of The Eddy and  Coisa Mais Linda (Girls from Ipanema) I am not a robot ... yet  
Why Do All Arcam Units (and Maybe Others) Have Only Two-Prong Power?
Violating the ground of something designed to be grounded can kill you.  Just saying. I could be struck by an asteroid too.  Did you try a two prong plug into the new place?  How did it sound? Look at your toaster.  How many prongs does its pl... 
So where do you fall in the spectrum.? Gear or Music?
So is this an investment question?  I do have more invested in my gear than I do my music media but I also stream which defers the total cost into easy monthly payments... for the rest of my life  
Why Do All Arcam Units (and Maybe Others) Have Only Two-Prong Power?
Because it sounds better.  A really easy test.  Purchase a three prong to two prong cheater plug and isolate your amp.  I actually use one for DAC also.  Much tighter bass and a clearer background.  There is a safety factor but your amp isn't a sk... 
Do I need a subwoofer?
Actually running three subs would be best.  Every room has cancelations from reflections and by using multiple subwoofers you can overcome the room issues. The good news is that doesn't require the most expensive subs and they really only fill in... 
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
Some measurements are critical. How wide is it? How tall and how deep is it? Will it fit on my shelf? How loud will it play? All the rest of the measurements are just marketing. I can’t hear numbers or even verify what the heck they’re actually m... 
MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING
+1 @zm108 Just (I mean I'm two albums in) installed the 5670 to 6922 adapter.  Great sound and I'm using a lot less expensive tube than the WE D getter. What do people do with their old 5670 collection?

How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
So you're the one.  Move to the right.  The left lane is for passing not camping lost in the music.   
The Big Misconception About Electricity
Their is a report button.  If you feel a user is abusive report them but remember it goes both ways.  My only concern is that reporting abusive is anonymous so it becomes a tit for tat scenario.  I know it's pathetic   
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
If your system costs less than $100,000 you have a ways to go. I'm not joking. Does labor count?  Newbies time doesn't count as much but after a couple of decades every hour spent listening, evaluating and studying should easily add up to 100K ... 
Songs for Thanksgiving
Engelbert Humperdinck - The Last Waltz  Don't get it.    
Streamer with digital inputs to be used as a DAC ?
Have you looked at the Raspberry PI streamers with the I2s hat?  Lots of different flavors to look at. The Allow Boss2 player is already built if that's what you want and will play Spotify directly using free Volumio software.  Not sure about Mood... 
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
@danager what you call an adult conversation is laughable. This entire thread is a joke. The premise was to evoke a conversation leading to testimonials and shilling Teds over priced gear. There has been no conversation here and it is the same o... 
looking to upgrade - identify the weakest link?
Cornerhorns. They don’t occupy living space so their size while intimidating  actually take up less of the your room in than conventual speakers placed away from the front wall. The other benefit is that you set it and forget it. No fiddling aroun...
