Tesla-Psychotic Supper(Cassette 1991) Easily a top 25 recording of 1990's have the CD but decided to unbox my mint Onkyo TA-2058 to jumpstart a rare Wednesday night vinyl.

Tom Grant-The View From Here(CD 1993) A great fusion/smooth jazz recording kicks off Sunday night vinyl.  
Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s
Comparing the 13k? Borresen X3 to $50K+ speakers is ludicrous. Too many Audiophiles have dreams of grandeur when a component meets most of their biases and budget. Depreciation is determined by percentage not dollar amount. Wilson Audio has one of... 
Vibration Control
@inagroove    +1    Vibration control products can be very hit or miss making many  skeptical or just lazily calling them snake oil.   
Does it have to sound good for you to like it?
With over 100 posts it’s time I give my perspective. To answer your question(OP) NO, but many factors can dispute this since a plethora of recorded music has both great content and SQ. For many that own physical media the SQ of a recording should ... 
Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
@kerrybh    +1   Horse racing has a very similar analytical structure(decision making) when compared to High End Audio!   
Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
No, because there will always be an interest on obtaining the best sound possible for recorded music. Participation in High End Audio(HEA) has always been limited due to cost. An ARC SP-11 retailed for $5k over 35 years ago, 10 years later a Forse... 
Thumper’s Mother
@uncledemp      IMO the strongest/combative or even the most obnoxious voices are woefully seeking acceptance and validation.

Unstoppable 90's Urban Jams/VA (CD 1999 Sony A 31864) Can feel the inner city vibe as Friday night vinyl follows.  
Sonus Faber Question
@jdm11 The Senetto G2 series release date is in July? Since SF usually updates in a 5 year + cycle go with the newer model(s) especially in mid/lower lines where more improvements can be made with each update. Also your speaker will stay current ... 
Sonus Faber Question
@curiousjim      FWIW have heard both speakers... Amati G5 and Lilium from the reference series. The Lilium had all Burmester electronics featuring the 216 amp in stereo. The sound was sublime. On the other hand the Amati G5 driven by Atoll AM 400... 
Sonus Faber Question
Sonus Faber speakers have a lot of potential due to getting tonality and timbre correct. SF needs to improve on dynamics/cabinet resonance and bass control/definition especially from the Nova line and below. The cement resin bases on the new Sonet...
