Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?
And if you're gonna post a picture of your dog, can you please post the breed name.

I can’t believe how many people don’t post their systems.  Just because I don’t post my system isn’t a good excuse. I’m trying to get things just right and maybe some day I might be inspired to expose my private world.  There are so many awesome ... 
Speakers "Too Big" for room
@pawlowski6132  That's quite a rack going on.  Reminds me of a game I played were you continue to stack things higher and higher until someone goes too high and they lose.   With that tripod configuration I wonder how powerful an earthquake woul... 
Bi-amping McIntosh MC2120 and MC2125 with Klipsch RP-5
Go vertical. I have a biamp set up and I use solid state for the bass drivers and tube amplifiers for the upper drivers.  I use MC 901 McIntosh monos to achieve this. It’s working out really well for 802 d3 Bowers speakers.  It’s definitely a lot... 
Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert!

KT88 vs 6550 tubes

Is AI going to kill Hifi?
If it means we’re gonna be burning more coal then I am all for it.  If it means we’re going to destroy wilderness to build more of these data centers that basically means clearcutting lots of Forest then I am all for it. If it means we can be lazi... 
Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
@whart  Thoughtful comments. I dare say you know what you're doing.  Awesome Horn speakers and a turntable and everything else speaks highly of the wisdom you possess. What a lovely space you have.

Interesting philosophical comments throughout. I guess my real focus was related to the technical aspects of audio systems. Given how complex these mystery boxes are, does anyone really understand what they're buying absent being an engineering t...

@drmuso  You have an interesting system really like it. There's a lot going on here.  vintage older stuff which is always cool  
Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
Unfortunately, dealers have to pay for the equipment before they can display it and therefore diversity of what they have available is limited.  I have tried so often to pursue components that dealers don’t even have even though they represent the... 
Old SS amps
@devinplombier  Fascinating your knowledge on this. So basically the older wine bottles I opened a few months ago, all bad and disturbing, are foreshadowing problems I may have connecting some pieces of equipment I haven't used for years.
