Two amps into one pair of speakers
A Disaster waiting to happen and I doubt you will have to wait very long.  
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
Where to start. Looking at the ones shown here I still see mostly faces and voices from the past. I look constantly for new talent and I often find it coming out of S. Korea or some other oriental country. Like Yao Si Ting, and what Youn Sun Nah d... 
Perspective system advise needed.
@hoping If you aren't too familiar with DAC's you might want to spend 1/2 to an hour listening to the Youtube presentations from Paul at PS audio in Boulder. Brief but informative. Other than mentioning his own product and some positive comments (... 
Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review?
100% agree.  
Keys/Piano - Funkiest Solo
Anything off of Hiromi Uehara's Live concert video 'Live in Marciac' 2012, But especially 'I've got Rhythm' and 'Pachelbel's Canon'.   It should be against the law for a performer to have that much fun playing.  
Great classical pianists
@drbond  Listening now. But in this effort, I must also add that the Studio or engineers on the project can make or break a recording. I am currently streaming "Debussy: Estampes, L. 100 - 1. Pagodes" and though I can tell that he is quite talente... 
Great classical pianists
Excellent quality pianists are a dime a dozen today. Now I am more attuned to the Jazz world, but most of them  (Jazz pianists) started out playing classical in their formative years. It is just that Jazz opens the door to much more diversity in s... 
Can't remember the name of a band.
I did love Cold Blood. Saw them live in Colorado Springs and San Diego, but they only had one female that I remember.  
Indentical measurments = Identical performance?
I have mulled over this very argument for over 50 years and Once again I will use a speaker as an example or a comparison as to why things that are unmeasurable or even hearable by the human ear can change the overall makeup of a sound. Just in ca... 
B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one)
I find this type of most companies across the board. They will NEVER give you a new model, but give you a refurb. Now, what constitutes a refurb to most companies varies. I worked for an outlet (not a manufacturer), whose idea of a refurb, was to ... 
Amp Internal Wire
I agree with those who are saying enough is enough. On my speaker designs, I use a better quality wire inside of them than most Major manufacturers do, but that is even overkill. A couple of years back Belden did a study and claimed that their CAT... 
Advice on Improving a Wifi-Mesh -> Ethernet Setup?
Speaking once again as someone who majored in Electronic Engineering and has been an Advanced class HAM radio operator for about 30 years, beyond grounding your devices (which could induce undesirable ground loops), You are more likely noticing so...

Advice on Improving a Wifi-Mesh -> Ethernet Setup?
The Shield Ground has not been well Accepted by the community, especially those who have studied Electronics. Way too many people are selling Snake Oil these days. Especially since they found out that if you make it COST the customer dearly, it wi... 
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
I have a similar concern. Though My setup isn't as costly as many of the folks here, it is still a pricy bit of kit, for those of the middle-class group of people. I tried to show my little brother how it was set up and even labeled the cords as t...
