Are advances in technology making speakers better?
And now I'm being told to upgrade Who's telling you to upgrade?  Is there a deficiency  that needs to be addressed?  Is an upgraded speaker the only way to overcome that deficiency?  If that's the case then you'll need to upgrade.  If it's not ... 
Nobosound Springs
I just added Audiocrast Spring Speaker Isolation to the rubber version of the antivibration pads (blue ones).  I have my subwoofers stacked and separating the subs with  springs was a huge improvement.  The bass is tighter, deeper and can be loude... 
In praise of the duet.
Ma Muse: All The Way HoneyHoney: 3 Yours to Bear Be Good Tanyas All! Lyle Lovett: North Dakota Linda Ronstadt: Duets  My favorite is Patty Griffin & Emmylou Harris Trapeze on the Children running Through album

What's It All About?
Not sure kitchen and sound system are analgias.  The kitchen is more the instrument and the food is the  music.  HiFi is more like the taking a photo of it and posting it on Yelp.  You could give me the most expensive violin in the world and I cou... 
PS Audio Directstream DAC?
Yep.  I hope you enjoy yours as I do mine. Cheers,  
Streamers/DACs
Just get a WIFI access extender that has and ethernet port.  That will offload all the noise associated to WIFI to the extender and you can isolate the ethernet with fiber if necessary.  
Foobar 2000 RAM DISK questions
Thanks for the heads up It’s hard for me to think I’m the first bring this up or I’m just a little slow and it’s really obvious to everyone else. The other thing is the search option is only for members.  Being able to search I did find my answer ... 
Foobar 2000 RAM DISK questions
@milpai  In my opinion (for what's that's worth)  Ram-Disk sometimes sounds better.  It's easy to A / B.  Load the same song one from the Ram-Disk and the other directly from the source and switch back and forth.  There should be absolutely no di...

+1 on  Jimmy Scott.  What an incredible story of being rediscovered from abject poverty to performing again.  HIs "I go back home" is a tribute album and film that to me shows how much he was appreciated by people in the industry and I dig it out ... 
Considering Towers in the $3000 range
@carlsbad   sound wise I agree the MOABs are a slam dunk but it's like having two NBA power forwards standing in your living room.  Pulled out from the wall where they can sound so good they dominate.  At least my corner horns are out of the way o... 
PS Audio Directstream DAC?
@blisshifi  I've read some on the EDCORE transformer upgrades but no one really talks about it changes the sound.  What is the sonic signature change with the transformer swap?    
Considering Towers in the $3000 range
If you have the room the Tekton double impacts (with grills) would be hard to beat.  Efficient with a room filling presentation.  They are big but have a following and lots of reviews   
PS Audio Directstream DAC?
I think the used DS DAC is the audio steal of the decade. In my system it sounds wonderful. Vocals tonally realistic without any digital glare. With the right recordings the soundstage has depth and width. It also provides details without fatigue....
