Iso-Puck Question
I use iso-mini's under my turntable (Rega P6) and they are very small. Now that I have seen and used them, I would not put 5 under my speakers which also weight around 30 pounds like yours. I would go to the bigger Iso-Pucks, despite the added cos... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Listening to Mary Lou Lord. I had never heard her before yesterday. I don’t know how I missed her for all these years. She is great. Blows away all these famous female pop stars by a mile. Why didn’t any of you guys and dolls tell me about her! Damn. 
What to do with a collection of sealed audiophile vinyl? MFSL Telarc Sheffield Nautilus
You kind of answered your own question, it's a hodge podge of material - very good material, but I doubt you would find one person that would be willing to or need to buy all of them as a collection. For instance I have four of them already, so I ... 
Qobuz charges
I had the same problem, you can sign up but you can never leave. Qobuz reps in their emails were rude and unhelpful. Luckily I was able to get Visa to cancel it, finally.   
Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill?
My class A keeps my music room nice and toasty, so for me I get a two for one, great sound and warm toes.  
LS50 and Classical
If you don’t have room for a sub, I’d suggest Harbeth p3ers or try the Totem bookshelves. There are so many good bookshelves now a days, you’ll get a lot of advice. Those are two brands I have owned and loved, although they sound nothing alike, I ...

Julien Baker - Vocal-centered Music.
I put on some of her music using my Grados, the low end SR80 and then my 1000, I enjoyed her in both. I also have Audeze cans which to me made her sound a little dark. However, if you check around many people dislike Grados, so try them or get a r... 
New Gear
I can only tell you my experience with HT. When I went to HT, I got rid of some very nice 2 channel equipment. Although the HT was high-end (McIntosh) and sounded great in 5.1, I never thought it sounded good in 2 channel. I do not think it was du... 
Denon Flat sounding & Lifeless compared to Yamaha
Yes, I had a Denon for years, it had very positive reviews and was highly recommended, but always sounded “lifeless”, thin is a good word for it. Went through three different speakers in that time also and it made no difference. Switched to a Luxm... 
What kind of listening chair
Millercarbon is spot on. And it fits well with his philosophy that “everything matters”. In this case, comfort.  
Analog Lp
I have found the new 180 gram records sound much better then older pressings. Quieter, more dynamic. I have compared them to my 30 year old records (kept mint) and also brought some replacement ones still sealed after 30 years and compared them to... 
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
I’ve had a Vault 2 for well over a year now and love it. They were quick to answer my questions, I hope they take care of you too, as I’d hate to think their product or company is slipping.  
4 speakers/2 channels
I had a surround sound (Mcintosh AVR) with Totem Rainmakers in the front, and KEF 'eggs' for the center and back. When I went back to just stereo, I had for a while the Rainmakers in the front, no center and the rear were the KEFs. Although the so...
