GIK Acoustics can't ship without damage
I've had the same experience with the bass traps. Corners dinged and some scratches. I have to see it every time I listen. They work well, but shipping could be vastly improved. I also left feedback on the transaction on their survey and was never... 
Aidiogon is Da Bomb!
I see what you did there @kota1 hahahaha  
So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu?
My Bloody Valentine - Loomer   
G Rated Comments About the Relevance of Pink Floyd’s Animals Album:
Happy to see this not devolving into chaos and spitefulness so far. As a younger lad, Animals is the only Floyd album that grabbed me. But Meddle is the one I always go to because of the sonic scapes. I should probably read more of their lyrics.   
Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners
Hey @craig how's the Altaira grounding system working out for you? I was just starting to do research, but the info out there is very thin.   
Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners
I didn't think I needed cleaner power as I live in a modern home. I purchased a used Ps Audio P10 and the improvement was so vast I vowed to never be without one. Then I tried the Denali V2 and it was like I unlocked another level of detail and nu... 
Taylor Swift Concert Prices
I just saw Iggy Pop a few weeks back in SF and the tickets were only $120 each. Ticket economics are getting out of hand with some artists. Shoot, Dave Chappelle just had a pop up show and they were only $100 until people found out. People are the... 
Picture worth a penny LOL!!!!
@roadwhorerecords VinylJerk to be exact, and it's fantastic. Lol.

@hilde45 lol this is so spot on.   
Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?
@lewm I saw the Acaia release this last week and it seems awesome. I have a big problem with chaff clinging in my Baratza grinder and will be picking up the Ion Beam. I will definitely be trying it with my turntable to see if there's any benefit. ... 
Sonus Faber Olympica nova 2 VS Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker vs
I run Sopra 2's and play tons of punk, metal, extreme metal and classic rock. @mofojo is probably right on with SF being too warm. You probably want a speaker more sharp, focused, detailed and fast. Focal does this, but they're so extremely overpr... 
Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?
PS Audio M1200 would be a great amp to test as well. I'm actually looking to pick up a class D amp so I'd be willing to bring some drinks to the event to listen, if in the Bay. Scotch anyone?  
How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes?
Heat definitely varies from person to person and I think room size and location in the world play a huge role in understanding anecdotal information . I have an upstairs south facing room that gets sun for the entire day, I'm located in California... 
What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead?
It has been brought to my attention that I mis-spoke in my post and am unable to edit my post. The Allnic H-5500 was bested by the Allnic H-3000 that I had purchased. The H-6500 is a Preamp and not a Phonostage.   
What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead?
@whart was the reason I purchased my Allnic H-3000. Will probably be my last phono. It smoked my Allnic 6500 and just had such warmth and encompassing sound. Plus the build quality and tube rolling in the power supply definitely does help unlock m...
