I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery
Whoops.  I  "raced".

All motorcycles are more fun than any cars?  Seriously?  I races sport bikes, but driving a Ferrari FXX anything beats the hell out of any bike you ever rode, and that Ferrari is practically a dinosaur.  What is true is that any bike you can buy i... 
Are these fake?
Clearthinker:  Did you really expect someone who spelled "FOUX" could think? 
Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...
Nothing is the best.  Higher cost does not make it better.  Is a $70,000,000 Ferrari GTO a better car than a 2020 Corvette?  BTW, I am a real Ferrari fan, but they are far from perfect.  Go spend a fortune to impress your friends, but don't be sur... 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
I just read the rest of the posts.  What is wrong with the person who wrote, "This post is GAY."  Have we devolved into petty bumholes?  This post does not even warrant a reply, but WTH, I am quarantined and bored.

Should Formula One championships be awarded to drivers who cannot even build an engine.  Give me a break! 
Measuring line noise and power conditioners
Hocus Pocus!  Directional Alternating Current fuses are my favorite scam, and some electrical services somewhere might benefit from a tru power conditioner, but I doubt I will even move to outer Mongolia. 
Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?
You are certainly on the right track.  By using separate amps with separate volume controls, you can increase of decrease the bass without destroying the linearity of phase aligned speakers, and without changing the linearity of the bass output wi... 
Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time?
 As a successful commissioned salesperson for a couple of decades, I can tell you this:  I went to work to make money, not friends.  Of course, I made some friends from the hobby that became my source of income, but when a customer was looking at ... 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
like way too many audiophiles, but not most of us here, you want us to know what you paid for what you had and have, without telling us what it is.  Shame on your damaged ego. 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
Can a turntable owners who does not own cylindrical record player really appreciate old jazz? 
Too good a post to waste
     The profit margin of the any old wire will do crowd is minimal.  Advertisers rarely pay to tout that their product is no better than another.  Plus, apparently , no one told the wire is wire crowd that the choice of what to measure was dictat... 
Camp designations
Of course, cable towers can keep guests from walking on the wires, but I think their real beauty is to let everyone know you are a true nerd who will rarely play music anyone else enjoys, because of the importance of showing off your creation.  I ... 
Camp designations
The only way cable support could possibly work is to separate the plus and minus cables from each other.  The inductance that these people are trying to avoid (from the floor???) pales compared to between adjoined cables.   
Hand me down audio equip- upgrade advice
Speaking of A/C circuit upgrades, I found that the 20 amp circuit for my clothes washer works great.  In fact, I moved  my washer and dryer out to the garage to make room for my electronics, and the cost was minimal, due to being able to run the w...
