Turn down the Volume!
I downloaded the app for the Spectrum audio analyzer. Works great for very basic measurements. I use it all the time and find that I rarely listen to anything above 85db. As long as the system can handle the peaks, that's plenty for my uses.  
How Audiphiles are Different
+1 OP! Now I'm wondering what Dr. Schrodinger would think about all this. If you put your bluetooth earbuds in a box . . . Maybe I'll just put on some Bill Evans.  
WTH TAS?!
Anybody got a smaller teapot?!  
What cause tweeters hiss ?
You will find that the hiss reduces in volume as you upgrade and tweak for noise: primarily cables along with a good conditioner. Hold the hairspray! 😉  
Top 10 vintage cassette decks
You gotta add the B&O Beocords! Especially the 8004 (?) with the self-adjusting azimuth.  
Was my friend given misinformation.
Who among us started out with the system we have now? Give the guy a break and let him learn the way every one of us did: trial and error and triumph! That Denon/B&W system will sound way better than whatever he’s used to and will be an excel... 
Ridiculous sale
Try and buy a house right now. Audiophiles know better than anyone how the cost goes up when the "gotta haves" just won't stop. Remember that these outrageous prices are chump change for many of our bretheren. More power to them until it's their ... 
Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism

Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma?
As my dear departed dad used to say: "How come, no matter what you're looking for, you always find it in the last place you look?" I have lived by those words ever since and have yet to find anything prematurely.  
Footers- Break In? Such A Change.
I just added a set of Gaia II's to my Dynaudio monitors and am working up a proper review to post. I can tell you that they made a huge difference in bass sq that seems to clarify the midrange. It's what I expected and hoped for. The difference wa... 
Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle
Using Maestros here. Sound terrific. Grip could be tighter.  
What defines mid-fi versus high-end?
"High End" refers only to price. "Mid Fi" refers to the current system of all audiophiles.    
OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here??
You'd be more comfortable with speakers at $999.95? It's just like your goofy tax deductions. You know listing all your deductions at even dollar amounts will raise red flags. Besides, $1008 looks like it must have been carefully determined in or... 
Are AI Equipment Reviews on the Horizon?
ASR serves all of us by doing a lot of geeky stuff with even more expensive equipment and then giving us the results. Who wouldn't want their output? I say leave it at that and go your own way. It's all just a tiny part of the evolving divide that...
