I need help, please? Listening to my system through music!
I would return to the LSA amp and start unbiased - as much as possible - evaluation of the entire system regardless of the consequences. I myself do it from time to time. By now I know that after upgrading one more pair of RCAs and power cords, I ... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
I listen to what I like regardless of the recording quality, and in most cases it is not good to various degree. Yet, even the worst of them sound a little better with each small upgrade. At the same time you hear better recordings’ flaws as well....

With the climate change advancing we may see snow storms in Sahara soon enough.So, we can't believe what " some manufacturers/experts " say, question is can we believe any of them? And if yes - who ?  
Why do turntables sound different?
Ralph, would you name those turntables you mentioned that were competent and sounded similar ?I know, I know, you don't agree aloud that vinyl is inferior to tape medium. Theoretically, maybe not but in reality.. 
Physics of downward firing woofers
Would you put downfiring speaker or sub on a spiked stand instead of the floor, or it would make it worse, or no difference? Carpeted and not carpeted floor. Some put speakers, without downfiring woofer, on stands and claim the improvement, at tim... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
Audiophiles enjoy the sound as much as music.$10k new will not get you anywhere close to great sound even in a small room and one source. $50k new is possible in small and medium size room but tough. That said, $10k system with one source can soun... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
Yes, trust your ears and have a common sense. But also, especially when considering a big upgrade, try to get another pair of good ears.That person might have different preferences so it may complicate the audition but in the end would probably he... 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
Oh boy, such a wondeful arrogance that you can shatter anyone's belief. I don't belong to any camp when it comes to this. I am a tape man, I think that vinyl is inferior medium, regardless of what cartridge you use. 
How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system?
chakster tried many cartridges, both vintage and modern. Why do you argue with him before doing the same? This reminds me the thread regarding power cords. Go ahead and try. Before you do it your so-called opinion is just that, it's not an opinion... 
What exactly is colored sound?
The source should be able to extract as much as possible from the recording without interventions on its part, interventions, whatever they might be, should happen down the chain. Happen exactly where? We can discuss it. I would say probably mostl... 
What exactly is colored sound?
Yeah. If you want to really enjoy your music played at home, never go to live concerts. Unamplified music. Amplified - that’s different.Recording engineers have their own f...... ideas, we have ours.In any event, as I advocated before, the reprodu...

I would never do it, this can be a very costly mistake. Besides, many brands don't have anything that I could call 'cheap'. Over $1k is not cheap, at least for most.

It's a never ending proccess, what's wrong with it, anyway ? Unless it becomes a clear obsession - nothing, I guess.

Now, why do I get tired of hearing about Classic Audio speakers? Seemingly no reason, right?
