How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
My system sounds truly great.  It has sounded better.  I am happy with my system. I would be happier if it sounded like it used to, before I destroyed it by trying to make a small repair and shorted everything out.  Most of my Audire equipment has...

Whoops.  My bad.

Wow!  Two Doctrets really says it all, but remember to watch out for those nasty perfilirators.    
Turntable recommendations
Seriously?  Tasty Peter!    
Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound!
My electronics are 30 years old, except for the CD player,  and my speakers 20.  I still have my 38 year old B&W's, but I rarely listen to them.  I do listen to music.  Doing it wrong means to nerd out and only listen to the equipment, rather ... 
Cryogenically treated cables
Can I sell you some Nitro-Gin for your tires?  If that is not good enough, we could use hydrogen.  It is great on big bumps.  
Best Brands Out of These-Wharfendale,Bowers and Wilkinsons...
When you are Flogging, make certain you do not use your any Feacal on your Clitsch, Boss. They might not mate well with you Demon, and could give you some Sonus issues, at least when playing on your Wharf, Dale.  . 
Center placed equipment stands
Any adjacent room or closet will work, unless of course, it is important to show your gear off.  The CD and XM remotes still work, reflecting off of a wall,  when the door is open.  A mirror has worked elsewhere, I really wanted to put the turntab... 
Center placed equipment stands
I moved my washer and dryer to the garage, then set up the electronics in the laundry room, running the speaker wires through the wall.  I mentioned this to the local Linn dealer.  It turns out he did the same thing.  Another advantage is the dedi... 
Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio:
I have a serious question on this topic:  Does your internet provider matter, as far a the quality of sound.  I am not claiming it does not exist, but I am skeptical, because I have never heard streamed music sound as good as a good CD on my syste... 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
Recap:  People come to your home to socialize and listen to music. Audiophile removes speaker wires from cute little trestles, then changes cables, point out minor differences no one cares about.  It sounded fine.  He continues to try to educate g... 
Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators
In the old days, SAE made a vinyl tic eraser. Curiously, it was non-returnable.If it helped at all, it would have to be a digital, stepped circuit, converting your pretty analog sound to digital, thus heretically defeating our gospel of analog. 
The Totalitarianism of the Rational Audiphile
If our, "Enlightened rationality" becomes gospel, we become audio fascists.  Faith (in our enlightened rationality) precludes reason.  Martin Luther, was not specifically remarking about audio, although there certainly could have been.discussions ... 
The Totalitarianism of the Rational Audiphile
As many men have said, "If your measurements tell you what your ears deny, you are measuring the wrong thing." 
First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions
     Thiel slanted their cabinet face for time coherence. Tilted Sound Anchor stands do the same thing.  It makes the sound from the drivers reach your ears in closer time phase.     Think about this: The electrical signal reaches the deep-in-cabi...
