Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
I have both. I swap them out to keep things interesting and love both the set ups. IME, the monitors do a more precise imaging. I went through quite a few monitors and the difference is substantial in relation to the sound stage and imaging. Enjoy... 
High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect
I also took advantage of the sale and now have 2 Pro Helix + sigs hooked up. I also have a set of the reveal speaker cables and CT-2 interconnects that I swap out with a few other brands to keep things interesting. It is a fun (but expensive) hobby.  
Better CD Sound: The Search
That Douglas_Schroeder guy is correct. I(very) recently upgraded my Bryston cdp-3 to a T+A Tubed player. The difference is quite amazing. Although the Bryston is a fine player, it simply is not in the same league. I was looking at the Project tran... 
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?

Electra Tube Connectors and GR Research Speaker Update Kits
I have build a couple of kits from Danny and modified a few more speakers I have owned and put the tube connectors on them. I have one set of Audio envy speaker cables with the designated male ends, but as said above, bananas will work. If you dec... 
High Fidelity Cables, why most threads about them got deleted
I have the MC-1 Double helix conditioner and love it. It was not 23,000 dollars. I started with the MC-0.5 and gradually moved up. I would recommend them to anyone.

Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?
No sir. I still love the physical media, reading the liner notes, and having the BIG collection to choose from. Perhaps upgrading the player! NOW were talking. 
Classical Rock
Kansas- Always Never the Same. Re-worked songs with an orchestra.  
What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?
I just recently got back into vinyl, and broke out my albums. Some I have not heard in about 40 years. That being said, I am a fan of my CD/ digital side more. The noise, clicks and pops are just one item, but all in all, my cd's sound better. 90/... 
Solution for Schitt Loki wall-wart power supply?
I have mine simply plugged into my conditioner, with no noise or issues whatsoever. A great piece of equipment that I highly recommend. 
Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh
 I agree with the above statement.I love my Loki.  
Distortion/too much bass from turntable
Is this volume related, garfycat? 
Shopping for new speakers-need ideas... Selling old DQ-10's...
I must be the only one not impressed with the Fritz. I had a pair and to my ears, the highs were completely sucked out. I did sell them. 
Audio envy - dang!
Yes they do.
