Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice
@williewonka Thanks so much for the advice Steve. I can see by the links you provided and the link to your system page that you know of what you speak.   
Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice
@williewonka Well Steve, I’m embarrassed to say that I bought my current speaker cables from Morrow several years ago. I think they are the SP5 Speaker Cable Pair - 576 SSI Wires.

@wolf_garcia I’ve read good reviews and your positive comments regarding use of the Loki to sculpt the sound to taste is an interesting idea. My RME DAC has a graphic equalizer feature that I’ve not yet used or explored. I’ve been reticent to try ...

@paradisecom thank you, but i have been experimenting for several years and feel like its growing time to fish or cut bait.   The suggestions in this thread have convinced me that going to a dedicated headphone listening system is not the.path to ...

@zlone Thank you for those recommended checks: - The only other DACs i’ve had in my system were an Oppo Sonica DAC (many years ago) and more recently the onboard DAC in the Lumin D2 (which eventually led to my search for a better/separate DAC lea...

Thank you both for your insights and suggestions. My understanding is that one of the major headphone shortcomings is their lack of a “realistic” soundstage.  That and comfort issues in long listening sessions. The organically accurate sound i des... 
How rare is an audiophile
@sagur80 unfortunately, I do suffer from the audiophile afflictions you mentioned. Being an engineer, i cant help but analyze my system for its weakest link or to think about what my next move should be to improve the sound of the music i love so ... 
How rare is an audiophile
OP here.  After a long day hard at work, I’ve finally had time to read everyones thoughts on the subject. So far, it appears most think we are indeed a rare species perhaps approaching endangered status. I’m in that camp also. I live in Huntsvill... 
Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align
Nils Lofgren “Keith don’t go” from Nil’s Acoustic Live album. An amazingly good recording of a live concert.   
Favourite Guitarists
Wow, i just scanned all 4 “pages” of contributors to this great thread and did not see a single person mention jazz guitarist Chris Standring! i love his artistry, plus he writes the music for all his songs (including orchestral instruments that ... 
Best progressive rock album side
Iron Butterfly IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA (first album I bought and started my music loving hobby in 1968).   
Loudest Sound Ever?
STS-107 Space Shuttle launch from astronaut family viewing stands approximately 3 miles from launch pad. The low frequency sound waves were so powerful, you could feel your internal organs vibrate and the higher frequencies sounded like a loud cra... 
I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond!
Steakster, I’d love to know which LPS(s) you would recommend for my digital front end components based on your experience.  
I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond!
Thank you all for your insights, suggestions and advice.I talked to the tech support guys at RME about cable and power supplies. In regards to my question about using an LPS, they wrote “Thanks for choosing the ADI-2 DAC FS! RME does not recommend... 
I knew I shouldn’t have thrown my Electrical Engineering text book in the campus pond!
Thank you for your thoughts and perspective (pi) soix!i just am not sure if the investment in something like an SBooster for the Lumin (which voids its warranty) and a Teddy Pardo for the Nucleus should and would make a big difference. So many peo...
