McIntosh Sonus Faber love affair, alternatives?
@bgross Love your listening space and that cabinet in the middle is awesome. Also, the voodoo lounge poster is incredible, and an incredible framing effort as well. Interesting comments about component mating practices and what you have learned.... 
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
brag?  Have you ever visited the virtual Displays of systems. This forum feature is probably the best in the world for showcasing peoples individual systems.  It's absolutely remarkable.  I can only imagine all those amazing systems that are not p...

@thecarpathian  How do you know what I plan to buy. I sincerely have an interest in buying overpriced speakers because they may sound better than what I have and my tube amplifiers may not be allowed to truly shine with my current speakers.  But ...

@unreceivedogma Personally, I think all the hype and excess funds held by older souls, and highly technically expert people who frequent this forum, as well as all the audio dealers on this forum, are what drives this market even higher. The poi...

So many great comments. I guess the overriding concern that I have is that I think everyone knows speakers can be very overpriced and that’s really absurd. Manufacturers create subpar speakers at lower price levels and tempt you to buy higher pr...

My therapist tells me I have trouble making decisions. All the answers above have been very helpful and probably saved me a lot of money on therapy and I need extended session visits because 60 minutes is never enough time. Audio component choice... 
Audio Cables: All the Same?
It's a lot like buying puppies, initially when you buy puppies from different breeds they act alike and after they are broken in a little they begin to take on different personalities. This is very true for cables.    
You're not a true audiophile unless...
People say dinosaurs were the original audiophiles, this isn't true. Caveman were the original audiophiles. It was due to their efforts that created interest in hearing that ushered in use of musical instruments to further sensitize that area wit... 
Best speaker brands for transient response
@grislybutter It’s like gain and volume being used interchangeably. Transient is that initial sound kind of peaky that somehow can be very awakening and very exciting. A lot has to do with Recording quality and amplifier. I always view it as Ro... 
Best speaker brands for transient response
Does anyone really know what transient means?  
Saved systems can't be found, where are they? Oh
Seems a bit odd it's so difficult to find. There's so many treasured systems it would be nice to quickly get back to those that are especially note worthy to me personally    
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
I like the Transparent power isolator which apparently gets rid of all the magnetic interference without restraining power.  And it has what appears to be a very good hydraulic designed surge protector. It weighs like a lead block which to me ind...

@czarivey How much does 10,000 records weigh? An amazing collection you must have.
