Why Do Cables Matter?
I hate shopping for speaker cables it's horrifying.  
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
Buy higher sensitivity speakers so you can use larger tube amplifiers that will not heat the room up. It sucks buying lower sensitive speakers which then require massive tube Power to optimize performance. Spend more money if you can

Why Do Cables Matter?
I hate the process of buying cables and I managed to find cables from a company that does it well. So I spent a lot buying speaker cables interconnects and power cords.   I bought the mid upper tier Products they offered. Extreme stuff is ridicul... 
So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why???
@juant71 I was interested in your historical posts, not many, and you visit lots of shows and recommend speakers. are you saying you can hear the difference with YouTube and it’s helpful? You saw it in person and are you saying YouTube reflects... 
So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why???
Jays YouTube site seems to be most prolific with sound clip vids on speaker that cost like $400,000. Absurd someone spends this much money on speakers.  My guess these things are on loan since he's got new speakers every other week.  To keep the ... 
So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why???
Another factor is the quality of the recording itself. Really good recording quality songs sounds great on any system. The audio Youtubers have minimal views anyway.  It's kind of impressive they spend so much time doing these videos and yet they... 
Hybrid amplifiers Ss/tube, any good?
What about the mcintosh mc901 hybrid amplifier. It's a true hybrid with a separate tube amp and a separate solid-state amp in one chassis, what's two section connecting a signal to only the upper range drivers, add solid state to the bass drivers.... 
How do I know if my systems any good?
Getting rid of reverbs kind of important. It's not rocket science  
DSP dirac test error ‘low signal to noise level’
Why does dirac Interface suck so badly?? And then all the signal noise Errors which they don't even provide any guidance on. They don't have any phone support despite people paying money to them. Seems like an awful service  
How do I know if my systems any good?
I wonder if I had tubes in an amplifier things would be alot better. That lower fullness at the lower range of a volume Setting is what I hear tubes offer in the way of a meaningful benefit.  It's like pornography where no one knows how to descri... 
Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm
@williambf Very interesting, you make up above. It seems the impedance curve of a speaker is very important in assessing Ohm range throughout the frequency range. And there by it seems selecting the proper tap somewhere within the ohm range on ... 
DSP dirac test error ‘low signal to noise level’
No solution accept have learned it is common to have these issues. I did notice the iPad Dirac app has recently been updated from an app that was really quite dreadful.  Still Not as good as desktop, but I may try soon since it's more convenient.... 
Air conditioning for audiophiles.
If you use a box fan make sure you exhaust air to the outside. And on low they are fairly quiet
