Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
+1 Baylinor Can’t really understand the hype. Fine music and nice recordings but a little too soft and mainstream.  Why not try Eastern Blok - Folk Tales discovered through Roon today!

Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music
Road Ladies from Nazareth - Hair of the Dog. Very live indeed!  
New In 2022
Horsegirl comes With distorted guitars…  
Isn't it really about quality of recording?
+1 sns Most recordings are good enough. Don’t blame the recording if it doesn’t sound good to you. It’s probably your system that isn’t set up well (in your room). No matter how much you’ve spent on cables. :) Genesis - Trespass, is a very good ... 
Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system?
Maybe advice my friend to go for oxygen-free copper. Cables have in my opinion nothing to do with building a great sounding system as long as they are well manufactured and don’t need to be very long. If you can’t hide them of course it’s nice if ... 
Loki vs new streamer and new DAC.
Then just get used to reaching about twentyfive percent of your systems potential :-)  
Most Realistic Recordings
For classical there's also the label BIS. Some recordings marked Warning!...  
Most Realistic Recordings
The label ACT have lots of fine recordings mostly jazz and some soul. Try Nils Landgren.    
Competitive class D amp suggestions
My Salon 2's are very happy with the Storm PA8. 4x1000w in bridged mode. All the others on 3rd floor. :-)  
Two vs four subwoofers for music playback
At least one of your subs should be a Velodyne dd+ so you can dial in perfect bass response at your main listening position at all levels. Preferably a 15".  :-)  
Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
@heretobuy  very good choise playing some young Ry Cooder. Not bad, not mediocre, just very fine recordings and music. Classics.  
Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
If you ask an acoustician he/she will tell you that 80 percent is the room and 20 percent is the system (if not 90/10). Something to think about when you judge a recording being bad. Maybe its you and your system/room that is at fault. I’ve tried ... 
Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?
@nyev Not necessarily the speakers that are too mid-forward. Lot's of recordings are and the better equipment you have the more you may hear this.  
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
+1 @rbstehno I suppose thats why Revel stopped producing the 2’s. You can’t sell anything that good for such a low price today. The audiophile community demand higher prices.
