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... 
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
To me it's more of a question of "what am I missing?"  To some a single Bluetooth speaker is all that's required to be pleasing, to others every piece of the system must be analyzed tweaked, treated, compared and modified and it still may never be... 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
I'm not sure exactly what the discussion is about???  Are we talking about Chinese wire copying wire made in the USA from copper / silver / trace metals mined in the USA, or are you talking about using Chinese produced wire purchased by a USA comp... 
Why does my hifi always seem to sound especially good on Thanksgiving?
Usually industries are closed down on Thanksgiving allowing for cleaner power.  Just be thankful for HIFI   
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
My integrated has only one set of speaker taps. Is ok to connect the converters wires to the same speaker terminals that are driving your main speakers? That’s how I connected mine. I use banna plugs for the sub and raw wire for the speakers. I... 
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
There are speaker to line level adapters which are basically big resisters to reduce the output.  It should work great  
Great song to test bass
Sweetback is an English band composed of members from the band Sade, not including the frontwoman Sade Adu If just one song Sweetback Arabesque The whole album uses deep deep bass for its foundation.  I just can't figure out if I want to turn th... 
Thoughts on having 2 different sized subs in same room
I would think different sub sizes would be perferred as the sweet spot of each would allow you to support a wider frequency range  
In your experience, what is the best Dinah Washington recording?
Dinah 62 she's center.  It's a GREAT album but then again they're all great  
How many of you are digital only systems?
I'm currently digital only.  Tube DAC, and tube intigrated but when I finish the move and can properly set up the stereo rack with my 40 year old preamp. I  just recently purchased a turntable and probably will occasionally spin some of  the coupl... 
Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)
Sorry I meant to say: Klipsch / Speaker Lab Corner Horns. They are a fantastic deal used. I live near Seattle and there are usually a pair or two for sale every month or so. The Speaker Lab SK versions are even cheaper. Volti and some others have... 
Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)
I've got a big room thats L shaped but pretty much open.  A stairwell seperates the front wall leaving corners about 18ft apart.  The back wall is a little over 30ft long.  If you've got corners you can easily fill the room with a huge natural sou...
