Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
Come on down to my gym and listen to the um, music broadcast in there.  Literally obscene and I was a sailor.  Someone might call it music.  I call it insulting and degrading to people.  There was a movie called "Tough Guys" with Kirk Douglas and ... 
Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio
Until this thread I had never heard of  the company.  The open box room is yet another reason I am considering adding an alcohol interlock onto my laptop ;)  
Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?
The chorus lines in Guns and Roses Mr Brownstone come to mind as I read these posts.  
The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening

How long should high quality speakers last?
@asvjerry LOL My DCM Time Frame 2000s date to around 1987 or so.  I have owned them for seven years and the still sound crazy good to me.  Given the relative rarity of the pair I am reluctant to do much work.  It is also the complexity of the des... 
Potential relief for tinnitus?
@cooperdude6 Sorry to double post but did your hearings help?    
Potential relief for tinnitus?
I am starting to buy into the brain compensating for a loss of input.  It would explain why mine has persisted for decades.  I have had the benefit (?) of annual baseline OSHA hearing tests since the incident until recently.  The damaged left ear ... 
A life sentence!!!
My DCM Time Frame 2000 sn 446/447.  After seven wonderful years the pair never fail to amaze and satisfy me.  When I die put us all in a pile and throw a match ;)  
Is the "improvement" real or imnagined?
I recall reading years ago how our bodies shape our perception of sound.  Something about the chest forming a notch filter around 1500 hz and other examples.  Is Grandpa slipping?  I can't seem to find the right question to confirm online.    
I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?
