Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
Yes it does!  As always, the source/ recording quality dictates the results.  
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. 
Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning
I have the Synergistic Powercell 10SE with a High Fidelity Cables MC-1 double helix plus and I prefer everything plugged into the conditioner. I have experimented with various combinations, but all in is best for me. I am a fan of High Fidelity Ca... 
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

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/...

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. 
Do you, or did you, have Audiophile buddies that you shared music, gear, times with?
I have a core group of friends that have been hanging around together for my 56 years. We all share the love of music, but I seem to be the only one with an obsession for it. They do like to come over for a beer or 3 and have a listen, though!  
Adding a sub woofer?
I have 2 REL T-9I's and they are fantastic. No problem at all integrating with the mains. The subs are one of the best components I have added to my system.  
Your most indispensable "tweak"?
+1 for High Fidelity.  MI started with the 0.5 and upgraded twice. Not cheap by any means when you start getting into the 1.0 and up, but I just love the clarity it brings. BIG improvement.
