Cary vs Raven
@jrcotner Is there any particular reason that you are not settling in with the Fritz Carbon 7 SEs?  Or are they in a second system?  
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
So much commentary...The merits of spending a lot of money on a server are questionable in my opinion. Actually, if you take a look mitch has a perfect purchase/sale record on A’gon of 568 (i.e., experienced).  Doesn’t seem like excess commentary... 
Cary vs Raven
My understanding, unfortunately not from personal use, is that the totems are excellent speakers. While I get that they thrive on power/current, I have never read a negative word about them. I would not sell them until after you are done with yo... 
Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....?
@ghdprentice  I agree with everything you are saying.  I really just wanted to throw an example out there.    
Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....?
Looking at it from an economic standpoint. A person who has invested $150K in his system will have a resale value of about $75K after 5 years.  Cost of ownership $15K per year. A person who has invested $50K in his system will have a resale valu...

I've used Supra and LinkUp in my humble system.  They are both excellent, but for me the Supra synergy with my system won out. If you do decide to try the Supra, be sure to buy the CAT 8+ from eBay seller zendada.  He has free shipping, versus on... 
A little gift for my fellow audiophiles
@soix Notwithstanding that, thanks for sharing the fun music and a fruitful and Happy New Year to you and yours. I have been waiting for you to share how you are liking the updates/upgrades to your SMC amp.  Hope I did not miss it.  
A little gift for my fellow audiophiles
First, I made it clear in my initial post that the CD is basically unobtainable now.  Did you not get that message? Respectfully submitted, maybe not that clear to others: I still have the CD, but as far as I can tell it’s now unobtainable, b... 
Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises
Not as bad as yours, but I had a version of this occurring when playing my turntable, utilizing the built in tube phono stage in my preamp.  The solution for me is to turn off the subwoofer that is near my turntable when playing vinyl.  No problem... 
Has anyone heard from bdp24 lately?
As I mentioned in a different thread, I am wondering about and hoping ebm well and just taking a break.    
How to proceed?
@stuartk  Really-- a standard RCA IC ? OK... I thought I mentioned, not for long term listening, just to make sure your current coax cable (assumption you are using coax) hasn't been damaged in some unforeseen way i.e. doggy gave it a good bit... 
How to proceed?
@stuartk  OK, just greenlighting by an amateur (me). I was going to recommend fine tuning with a Lokius, which I own, but I see no go. It is puzzling in that you have dome tweeters. Could your tweeters have ferrofluid?  If so has it possibly d...

Wondering how @ebm  is.  Hasn't posted in 10 months.  Hope all is well and happy holidays to you.  
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
@nasaman  I would wait until an attorney who actually knows the law to chime in here regarding knowingly selling counterfeit goods. Even then, the advice may be equal to the fee you are paying for his/her advice.  
Did I damage my new amp
@neversatisfied I’m confused regarding what you are describing as the problem.  My bluesound has the option to be used as a preamp, and my smartphone would be used to control the bluesound volume.  I have disabled my remote smartphone volume adj...
