Music Streamer Quality
That has been my issue jond, there is so much to absorb! I thought if I could combine both devices into one then I not only eliminate one device (and the related cables) but also have perhaps a little better synergy. Anyway, just trying to figure ... 
Vibration control inside a cabinet
For options to Timbernation try Michigan Maple Block. I have no affiliation with the company other than living in the same State. 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
Aauugh, I just had to read this thread. I have a pair of Morrow SP-7's on the way and now I read all these glowing reviews of the Clear Day's. I moved up to the 7's from the 5's on a trade-up deal. I think I'll let the Morrow's burn in good then p... 
Time for a change. Need some Advice
This guy always made a lot of sense to me. I'm just throwing it out there as additional information.....http://www.acousticfields.com/speaker-placement-listening-positions/http://www.acousticfields.com/acoustic-rule-2-speakerlistening-position/ 
Whats playing on your system today?
Patti Smith, Wave 
This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us
My wife never asked how much my audio system cost but after acquiring  most of the components she decided she could have a major item as well and purchased a very expensive mountain bike. Needless to say, I didn't complain! 
Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try?
I have to agree with klh007 here. Grounding problems can be difficult and frustrating to find and cure. Using a balanced power unit can eliminate this problem. Yes, there is the expense of an additional component but the benefits are plausible. Th... 
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
It has already been mentioned a couple of times but one of my absolute favorites is Steve Hackett, Firth of Fifth, the solo just dovetails so well with Tony's keyboards. It's amazing. Also have to agree with the mention of Mr. Robin Trower on Brid... 
Janis Ian "Breaking Silence" 45RPM 2 disc reissue
Just received the gold CD and found this to be a very dynamic recording.....except for the vocals. It's odd but the vocal dynamics don't seem to match the instruments. It's as though the vocals were cut in a completely separate studio (which I sup... 
morrow ma1 interconnect
If your system sounds bright you may also check for your speakers being wired out of phase. Maybe the MA-1's simply don't work for you but a friend of mine used them with good quality gear and his system sounded great. If something else works bett... 
Hegel H-160 or Parasound Halo Integrated
I know this always happens that someone chimes in with an alternative but I can't resist. A friend of mine just purchased a Plinius Hautonga and uses Paradigm Studio 100's. The sound is fantastic! There are two of these units for sale here on the ... 
Your Favorite Cover Songs?
Have to cast another vote for Shel. Saw them in Northern Michigan and highly recommend them. The "Battle of Evermore" cover is really outstanding. I also enjoy "Going to California" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62L5kn1qFeYSlaw mentions Patrici... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
I'm not about to say I know more than you but wanted to add the comment that if you read the stereophile forum comments posted by randy-11 you will notice that the poster raging against balanced power is saying that it is against NEC to have a bal... 
morrow ma1 interconnect
I use MA-4 balanced interconnects and SP-5 bi-wire speaker cables in my system and couldn't be happier. There has been much discussion about the quality of power based on the time of day you listen to your system. I'm wondering if your problem has... 
What commerical audio system tweaks provide sound quality improvement??
No "In Memoriam" category but perhaps we can establish a benefactor category where those who clean their electrical outlets without turning off the power first could bequeath their systems to other members. I would be happy to be the bequeathee!
