Too good a post to waste
It's amazing how many seasoned audiophiles still cling to the "wire is wire" meme.  I have made AC cords from DIY bulk AC cable that are as good as anything sold for $2K and up---for a lot less.  
Sound, neutrality and the pursuit of everything
A system that reveals all the instruments and inner details clearly can sound better than live music in these ways, much like a 4K TV looks sharper and more colorful than reality, but lacks the expansive presence of being there. A room system also... 
is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
I would give credence to Mike Lavigne’s listening experience. Having only digital, I liked that he once said his new digital setup is "staring vinyl in the face". He may find digital to be really good, but when he goes on to say that, after a high... 
Religious music for less than devout
Ok, great--wasn't sure what you meant by "less than devout".   
Religious music for less than devout
"Onerous taxes and entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare cause religious folks to chaff. Another good song for those of us less than devout and a favorite among the social justice takers." djones51I don’t hear many complaints from... 
Religious music for less than devout
@timothywright, I simply listed a great album full of spirituality, and in reply, you derail your own thread....or, what is your intent?  Anyway, beside "Dragon's Jaw", another of Cockburn's albums written during his world traveling was "Humans". ...

Interesting Fed Ex encounter...
Unlike UPS drivers, Fed Ex drivers, at least in the past, have been independent contractors who own and maintain the trucks they drive.  Their system is probably less centralized with some overlap of territories and even competition, but not sure ... 
Perfect Path Total Contact no longer?

It happened again tonight
 "All the magic? Its on vinyl. Only. Sorry."  MCLike they say about types of house siding: "Vinyl is final." And with vinyl, you can play the dark side of the album.  The reply I got: Digital, huh? Sorry for your loss.....Perfect sound forever, it...

Can anyone tell me, what is the best red book reissue of DSOTM at this time in history?   
Are you a special snowflake?
Most of us here have held to the standard of, unless someone has experience with a certain product or, say a better power cable than stock, they can have no valid opinion on that topic. They are just mouthing terms handed down to them by a source ... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Sorry to hear that, Lemonhaze.  I can't recall a testimonial citing worsened performance with the mats.  Maybe try again later and in different places?In this rapidly changing world, my PPT products continue to deliver the same reliable improvemen...

I've always suspected this planet is too good for us.
