Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald?
@erik_squires Have you heard the Punch Brothers version of the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"?  
Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ?
Personally, the DACs with the Schiit Multibit filters were the first (and still only ones I’ve heard) that sounded like music to me. I have a multibit Bifrost and a Yggy. They have also written their own USB code and implemented it in the DACs (U... 
How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement

Transparrent Ref XL vs Opus
@arcguy I have been wondering if the Gen5 to Gen6 upgrade was as large as previous upgrades.  Previously the mantra has been that the upgrade is about the same as 1.5 levels. What improvements did you notice sonically and can you give more descri... 
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
@rodman99999 Nice list !! I think Hamlet shares our view ... "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, / Than are dreamt of in our/your philosophy"  
Big Ears
Looked amazing.  I'm a big fan of what Kronos Quartet, Caroline Shaw, So Percussion and the ATTACCA Quartet do.
