Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉
@fuzztone Huh? Is that a statement about what you see as a problematic pattern with forum contributors?  Or perhaps a passive-aggressive judgment about how you perceive my posts? Or am I misreading your intention with that comment? It seems pretty...

@sns You've got a great conditioner, just as I suspected! Do you mind sharing which lps you use on the router? Separate, right?  Also, you mentioned a few comments earlier in this discussion that you use a AQ Vodka from modem to router.  Have you ... 
Isn't it really about quality of recording?
Are people with severely impaired vision and no corrective eyewear enthused about visiting a fine art gallery?  
Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac
Hi @sns, I don’t think you mentioned any power conditioner for your streamer chain. You may already have it and just not mentioned it, but I think it’s worth mentioning here. I have my coaxial internet cable, modem, router, and switch (and TV) all... 
Paper cone drivers/natural materials
How many people reading this have a paper based subwoofer cone and think they are exceptionally quick and musical?  I know @bdp24 and I agree  
Adding a sub. - can i start with one?
It's obvious to me who here is speaking from subjective experience and who is enamored with an abstract idea  
ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements.
Subjective assessment is the highest form of discrimination and is highly dependent on the intrinsic capacity for acute and gifted discernment of the observer.  
Adding a sub. - can i start with one?
Absolute BS. As long as you are using a subwoofer as a subwoofer and not a woofer, there will be no localization of bass instruments. None. @ozzy62 You may not be able to hear it with your sub in your room, but it’s not absolute BS. It depends ... 
Does a REL subwoofer make the speakers' job easier?
@hilde45 Thanks for the note! It seems there is a lack of common knowledge on how phase adjustment is performed with a variable phase adjustment.  Maybe I'll write one up on that too. If I were the type of person to give for-profit businesses the... 
Does a REL subwoofer make the speakers' job easier?
+1 @hilde45 It continues to blow my mind that big sub manufacturers like Kef and Rel don’t even have a phase dial for exact phase matching. Only two opposite settings? It’s simply bizarre to me. Apparently there’s consensus out there there only ... 
Good Ethernet switch
@alvin1118 For someone without much technical knowledge about power supply tech, can you share anything about the power supply on that LHY Audio 8-port switch you recommended?  Any additional thoughts on why you recommend it?  
Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle
@stevebohnii I'd share, if I could.  However, I recently did some work getting all of my cables elevated and mechanical vibration dampened and that made a significant difference in sound quality, particularly in the low and mid bass and in noise l... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Yosi Horikawa - Timbres [96/24, Qobuz] Not much of a musical track, but a very fun electronic listen to a smorgasbord of sounds, especially if your sound system is really dialed in. Has great potential to make you say to yourself "wow, my system ...

Zavfino
@willywonka Yep, I use one. I have some other Zavfino stuff, so I’m familiar with the house sound, at least up to a certain price point. From what I can tell in my system, the sound of the USB cable is not really all that different from another ba...
