Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting?
It’s interesting to note that most high end audio equipment, other than newer combo preamp, streamer , DAC offerings is generally very simple & easy to use albeit may require some patience & tweaking to sound their best.    Wrong forum bu... 
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
I found years ago that big band jazz is pretty easy to enjoy & “ understand “ for someone unfamiliar w/ much of jazz as I was. It’s generally more structured w/ less improvisation. stuartK’s explanation of jazz is excellent & it may sound... 
DAC for Aurender N200
The only two DACS I’ve directly compared in my system are the PS Audio Direct stream Mark II & the Bricasti M1 Series II. It wasn’t close as the Bricasti was better in every way from build quality to sound quality. The Bricasti is built very w... 
Shrink Totem 1's?
Great answers!! If you do cut them down, don’t worry about those two brass colored round things sticking out the back or the other funny looking electronic things connected to them probably just on the other side of them, they’re not really that i... 
Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup
You may want to consider a pre - owned Rogers High Fidelity tube integrated amp they offer direct w/ their full lifetime warranty. They offer a free home trial too. I compared their EHF 200 Mark II to the top Prima Luna & it was in a completel... 
Do you have a perfect digital marriage?
Innuos Zenith Mark III into a Bricasti M 1 Series II. Probably all I’ll ever need or have until I get really old & someone makes a really good all in one speaker, amp, streamer, DAC . Looks like Focal / Naim is on their way.   
My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf

Should I use Audiopoints under Aerial 10T spikes on hardwood floor?
Nice speakers! I users to own them years ago & the they like & need lots of power especially in a big room if you play them loudly which they are very capable of doing.    I don’t see many folks here mentioning this & I'm sure many wo... 
Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit
I would think a tube power amp would eat tubes much more quickly than a preamp? And big power tubes are generally much more expensive. If anything, I think a tube preamp combined w/ a really good solid state power amp would be the best combo if yo... 
What is your top sexy song?
For a bit more subtlety, how about “The Look of Love” performed by Dusty Springfield?   
Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews?
We all know there are very good & not so good examples of just about every speaker design, driver material, cabinet style, crossover concept etc. Perhaps  YG hasn’t changed their midrange driver because it was excellent to start with which fro... 
Room with glass windows as a walls.
Directional horn loaded speakers w/ warm tube amp could help. Volti Razz?   
Music with Titles that get you to think
How about The Beatles “ Let It Be”? Much of what many in our nation think needs changing or even addressing at all could fall into this category. There’s so many “ causes” & less & less common sense…..  
Streamer for LTA Aero
The only server I’ve ever used & thus heard in my system is the Innuos Zenith Mark III & I’m very happy with it. It’s well made, sounds great & it’s proprietary app for your phone or tablet is very easy to use. Their customer support w... 
Does Anyone Know the History of the Early Sota Turntables?
I also owned a Sapphire in about ‘86 w/ a Souther Linear Tracking Arm. It had excellent resistance to foot falls w/ it’s then unique hanging suspension. The platter was all aluminum. The arm board was just cheap MDF secured / basically dry wall sc...
