MQA Declares Bankruptcy
I don’t think all of this is over for mqa in terms of the format.   
Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
Understand completely!  
Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in?
Half the fun is tweaking and dialing in your system. That’s what we as audiophiles do. Paying someone else to do that is like paying someone to golf for you.  
Goodbye Everyone
You will definitely be missed. I’m sorry you’re leaving us, you have been a valuable contributor and someone to look up to.   
Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring
I did some research when I thought I might want one of these for my VPI and found out that many audiophiles who buy them wind up not using them because they get to be a PIA. Now that’s just what I found, you may not. Also. Haven’t heard great feed... 
If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?
Nice work, diy can be an excellent option and parts connexion has some great materials.   
Tidal class-action
Hope this has some sort of positive outcome.

That’s certainly a red light in my book.   
Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k
@macdude I finally went with an Esoteric N05 and it’s rocking my world like nothing I’ve ever heard! The DAC is excellent, DSD 11.2, MQA, ROON ready. Life is good..  
Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts?
That’s one way to score a bargain!   
Problem with Roon
Interesting, I just started using Roon and haven’t noticed any issues but the other day I went to rip a cd and I got this message from ROON wanting to access my ripper dbpoweramp, I granted it and when I went to rip the cd it bombed out after the ... 
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
Yes, and you don’t need to go to a store anymore because now they’re on-line in forums like this and on the phone! When that happens I won’t buy anything from them, and in some instances even the product they are selling from anyone. That’s why I ...
