dac recommendations for turntable listener?
From what I’ve read, the WADAX Reference is the closest to vinyl…  
Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio
@mijostyn  Yes, in the theoretical world, adding a passive HPF around 80 Hz would decrease distortion in the rest of the sound frequency for the electrostatic speakers, but the distortion is so low in the electrostatic speakers, that I'm not sure... 
Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio
@rhg3 yes, it looks like the swarm arrangement for subwoofers was a popular topic about 5 years ago: seems like many agreed that 4 subwoofers was ideal, and that using 4 subwoofers even precluded the need for DSP. @mijostyn No crossovers in u...

@tcutter  From what ai deduce from a cursory reading of that recommended presentation is that 4 subwoofers are best for most rectangular rooms, in most situations.  Interesting.  Thanks for sharing.

@vdotman  What are your impressions about the KEF vs SVS dual opposed subwoofers?  (I realize that you also changed speakers, so a direct comparison may be difficult.) Thanks.  
Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio
@decathlon1991  That sounds like a rather unique solution:  3 high on each side!  One of many possible solutions, as the next post by @mrdecibel went from 2 subs to 1.   It's great to hear the variety of approaches hear to 2 channel music.  I th... 
Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio
@mofojo  Since my first pair is balanced force 12” subs, I was leaning towards the Rythmik G22, which is also a 12” balanced force sub.  I’ve heard many say that they mix and match subs without any untoward effect.  I’m almost more curious to pai...

@carlsbad2  Just prefer the natural sound, as I only listen to acoustic music. @james633  The bass in the listening position is great.  Near perfect, although perhaps slightly loose on occasion.  I was just going to daisy chain the two subs off... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
Any experience with other brands, such as Martin Logan vs. Rythmik vs. Velodyne vs. SVS?    
Speaker cable change??

MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@dogberry I suppose it depends on history…why don’t you do a little look through posts on the site, and I think the conclusion is quite apparent…  
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@knock1 I suppose a more proper imitation of @rauliruegas would be something more like this: WHAT KIND OF STUPID QUESTION IS THIS? DO YOU NOT HAVE A BRAIN? DO YOUR EARS EVEN WORK!?…OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING!   (As in life, so ... 
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@rauliruegas  Disclosure: this is not my typical response, but I am simply going to channel your personality, and the way that you respond to others in this response, and perhaps you may learn something: What kind of stupid question is this?  Do...
