Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
The younger generations will have something way better (spatial audio, object based audio, etc) for way cheaper. After the boomers’ finite lifespan ends, the younger ones will be wondering why boomers hung onto their lackluster stereo for so long....

Repeater/extenders are evil!
A good Wifi signal can do justice to any music, but wifi signals do go bad. I’m lucky enough to live in a detached home with excellent wall to wall signal coverage and no channel conflicts with my neighbors. I don’t think anyone’s too worried a... 
external DAC
Your Esoteric should sound better on its own than the PS audio modified by "Richard" (whoever he is) and his electronics...Sounds like a unnecessary downgrade for the sake of tinkering pleasure.

Mofi Sourcepoint 888?
Listened long at AXPONA and they did many things impressively except for the upper midrange lower treble dry, brash flavor.  Turns out to be present in the entire line.  Possibly due to the amplification but I heard what I heard.   The Class D ...

Mofi Sourcepoint 888?
deep_333- A 10/12 would get my attention. I see these 888’s being a killer deal in 3-4 years due to low sales. Just like the AJ Elac Adante-dealers were blowing them out 1/2 price. I have the adante series in a rig. Expensive fab/priced too ...

Martin Logan 13A's with Rel subs? A match?
thanks. can you recommend any particular sub? or manufacturer? If you can’t high pass, you will atleast need a sub with full phase control to work youself in. Get a Rythmik F18, it will lay down the law.   
The Horror
Coming up on 10 years now......not a single rig or anything at any show has blown my stuff out of the water. In fact, I start laughing at the flaccidity of how million dollar rigs have sounded. It is your rigid belief systems (purity, depriving y...

Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ?
fuses first, then cables...eventually the rest of the system will fall into place. room last. Spend full budget on Shun mook discs and Shakti stones....no speakers and sources are needed. Just start singing, dancing and tossing shakti stones ar...
