Sub placement
Interesting. I just recently purchased a 2nd JL Audio E112 and had pre-wired for that sub to be behind the listening position. OMFG - the result is amazing. The soundstage is much much more 3-D like I am walking on stage as I approach the front sp...

Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
I own the A21+ and am extremely pleased with it. I don’t have any experience with Adcom.  
Why have capacitors improved so much over the years?
Since capacitors are ubiquitous in all electronics, the statement, “Why they got better is audiophiles obsessed with and driven to achieve exceptional sound quality” is inane. To suggest that  our niche industry would be the driver of such improve... 
Why the cost increase?
So typical. The statement was actually corrected during the news conference but that doesn’t matter. When the facts and science aren’t on your side you have to make sh$t up.  
Why the cost increase?
Love it when quotes are taken totally out of context. Kamala said she would take a vaccine recommended by Dr Fauci but not if it was being pushed by Trump. Which basically means she would listen to someone who was using science and facts as a basi... 
Why the cost increase?
I love how Miller Carbon claims 5 out of 4 patience in ICU were fully vaccinated. Idiot.  
Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?
I have the HRS M3X2-1719 isolation base under my Rega P6. Yes, the base cost more than the table but I plan to upgrade TT moving forward. My TT is mounted on a foundation wall but one of my subwoofers is very close to the TT. I have been really pl... 
Manufacturers past their heyday
Acoustic Research - made great speakers back in the day and turntables too. Now they make outdoor speakers last I looked.  
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
@nonoise  - sorry - realized that just as I hit post. I’m slow but I get there.  
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
@nonoise - Your take on YMMV is very different from mine. I always saw it as a polite way of acknowledging others will have their own opinions/experiences  and may not agree with mine.  
Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.
Jason Isbell does a great job with all of his recordings - it’s clear he cares about the sound. I’ve especially been listening to his 2 most recent releases with the 400 Unit - Reunions, and The Nashville Sound and am always blown away by how good... 
DeoxIT on cables/Jacks?
@frogman - +1Thank you very much for the tutorial. That’s pretty close to how I have been using deoxIT so confirmation is good. Detailed instruction like that is very helpful. Matt 
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
Based on what I see, it seems Luxman is holding out for their 100th anniversary ;-). 
Favorite Cowboy Junkies?
They are my all time favorite band. My wife and I’s 1st dance at our wedding was If I was the Woman and You Were the Man (and that was before it happened in the movie Natural Born Killers so my take is they were copying us). I caught them 2 nights...
