Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
I was looking to buy new speakers in the $8k-$12k range a few years back.  A local dealer had a brand which interested me.  I dropped into the store, and the dealer let me listen to a pair of bookshelf speakers by the brand I was interested in.  I...

Are all Audiophiles masocists?
I do like it a bit rough 
~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
Just a caveat on aesthetics, what looks great in pictures may not look great in your room, and vice versa. 
Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?
a 150 lb GIANT, LOL. 
Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy?
Footfalls are almost always a problem with LP12’s, even on concrete slab, unless you put it on a wall shelf, which would be my suggestion. The Audiotech shelf worked well. I’ve had an LP12 setup in at least a dozen apartments/condos/houses on all ... 
Full Range speakers for a living space
@ianellis  The WB's were much less expensive when I bought the Vectors, before there was a US distributor, just a couple dealers.I'd be interested in you experiences if you hear/get the Neats.

When you’re not here who will inherit your system?
Landfill. 
Audio Furniture has its own sound!
Illusions are real!(just having a little fun, so don't take it seriously) 
Modwright PS 9.0 or PS Audio Steller Phono Preamp?
The ph 9.0 is $2900, i believe.  It come with a 14 trial period, last I checked, so if you live in the hinterlands as I do, you can try it at home.  FWIW, I have the ps 150, and love it, but, of course, this doesn’t mean you will. 
New Music Direct catalog...
I’d prefer a picture of someone who was still young.  Phoebe Bridges, for example.  Audiophiles, for the most part, are disinterested in new (last 20 to 40 years) music.
