Would you sell half your vinyl collection to get great equipment ?
I gave up on vinyl in the 90's and, whether it was back then or if I had an lp collection now, I'd never sell the music for equipment...other stuff, my house or my car Maybe...but not the music. I certainly recall that it took too much of my time ... 
How important is EMI and RFI rejection?
Bingo. What Geoff said. 
How important is EMI and RFI rejection?
That should be EMI/RFI in the above, not 'EMF/RFI', Lol. My brain fart.

@jinjuku, I would beg to respectfully disagree with you on points 1 and 2.1) "Even decent equipment filters the AC line"Not true if you’re talking about hifi gear. If you mean power conditioners and the like, then they may indeed filter somewhat, ... 
When System Improvements Are Marginal
I suppose I failed to make myself clear in my post at the top, FWIW. Yes, I believe the differences should jump out at you, but OTOH the Decision to keep that new arrangement should not necessarily be made then and there. Living with the change fi...

Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers
Amen, Erik.From the looks of this thread, and the amount of people who might lament about how much speakers cost and/or how hard it is to get what they’re after, then, among existing audiophiles anyway, this may be the next wave...if it isn’t alre...

Having a great time and learning experience building an active tri-amped 2.2 system. 3 Crown XTi-2 power amps contain all the digital adjustment control over EQ, crossover, driver gain and delay one could conceivably ever need, no limitations with... 
Directionality of wire
@terry9 Thank you sir. 
Directionality of wire
@terry9 Alright, fair enough, I'm just ranting I suppose. My apologies if I've rankled anyone. 
Directionality of wire
@terry9 I think you may be conflagrating "scientific research" with "empirical experimenting". Strictly speaking, it isn’t really necessary for us to ’establish facts’ or ’principles’ or in some way necessarily advance the cause of science in orde...

@shadorne "I don’t deny truth. However, before attaching strong beliefs to unsubstantiated claims I require something more solid than conjecture. This is why man-made global warming remains a remote and infinitesimally small possibility to me as n...
