New speakers? No thanks.
I love Vandies and 15" DC's in the Tannoy Prestige Series.

Recommendation about speakers with limited space behind
A sealed box (unported) speaker would work, e.g., Merlin TSM. 
Do you listen to equipment or music.
Music, but if there's something glaringly wrong with your equipment, you'll be unable to enjoy the music. For instance, if your system is fatiguing, as often happens with solid state amps or mediocre DACs, you'll find yourself either not listening... 
Esoteric A100 Service Nightmare
Sorry that happened to you. But thanks for the warning. I'll never purchase Esoteric gear. 
Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic
I think you need more powerful  electronics, e.g., Art Audio Jota HC uses 300BXLS tubes and yields 24 WPC SET sound.  
Are many audiophiles only seeking approval of the next purchase?
Yeah, it's similar to religious evangelism. It seems to me there's more than a little seeking for validation.  
Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?
Prolly so. 
Difference in sound between day and night. Help!
Prolly has something to do with moonshine :) 
Zu audio
Not sure what 'nano' means, but Zu does lots of innovation. The newer products are prolly quite a bit better than older models. Nano prolly is an unfortunate choice of marketing mumbo jumbo. But theDirty Weekend's I heard were wonderful paired wit... 
Is now a good time to buy a pre-owned DAC?
It would be wise to wait until PS Audio release the TSS Two Chassis Super DAC, at which time there should be a glut of used DS and DS Jr. DACs for sale.

What happened to Audio Research G Series
ARC is always running away from its latest design. One man's continuous improvement is another man's cluster **ck 
The invention of measurements and perception
Temperature is +2 Fahrenheit but it feels like -30 with the wind chill factor. So, here's an example of measurement v perception. But who decides about the perception?
