Beware poor sounding media
I’m new to streaming on Qobuz with my Innuos Zenith Mark II which I’m really enjoyed for it’s ease of use & vast library to choose from. A lot of it sounds good to very good, dynamic, quiet, clean & detailed. Fun! That all said, when an a... 
Power Cord for DAC
I use Triode Wire Labs with my Innuos Zenith Mark III & it sounds really good.  Triode makes really good cables  @ relatively reasonable prices. Probably worth checking them out.   
Need Speakers at least 4 feet high
I doubt any speaker at any size or price will sound too good with a “White House sized” chair directly on front of them. I used to do a version of this growing up as a teenager w/ my Mom & it appeased both our needs assuming you don’t listen t... 
Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers?
What is the source of your music? Digital? Analog? That’s worth examining too. I lot of digital streaming equipment ( computers, DACS, servers) sound a bit harsh & over “etched” to me. They can be very tight, clean, fast & dynamic but I ca... 
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
Funny. I’m not sure when it comes to speakers that Volkswagen quality in a Cadillac space wouldn’t be better……..  
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
Sorry. I meant the Volti Audio Razz. Rivals are even better but more than twice the cost..  
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
Check out Volti Audio Rivals. Not stand mount but relatively small foot print. Sound very good on all types of music & will play louder w/ ease then any other speaker mentioned. Hand built in TN by Greg Roberts using pro drivers in a beautiful... 
How important is spending time with your gear?
I initially thought it was ridiculous question but after reading the responses, think it's actually an interesting topic. I have had several different systems over 40+ years, many of which were very good for their time & often involved large s... 
Question about speaker angle
I meant say cell phone apps. Sorry   
Question about speaker angle
There are a few good cell phones to measure speaker angle toe in.  Just do a search to find them. Simple to use & accurate.    Fstein, I curious what angle & distance from the floor did you find was most effective in driving your neighbor... 
Awaiting a 1st impression
It’s a global world & there a probably many examples of good & not so good ( at least in value) audio products from just about every country. Long term reliability & accompanying manufacturer support generally seems to be what separate... 
Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation
I’ve heard the Sonos Arc & really enjoyed it .I have the same TV - excellent!! If I didn’t already have a pretty solid surround sound system, I would go w/ it  
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
I second Audioguy85. I use Border Payrol DAC & really enjoy it on a good system. You can return it if you don’t like it. Sometimes you don’t have to spend big $ to get what you want.  Great small company owned & operated by Gary Dews.he’s ... 
10k Towers with biggest soundstage?
Check out Volti Audio Rivals. Big, open, very dynamic with just a few good watts. A tad more than your budget for the basic model but a great value made in Tennessee by Greg Roberts.   
Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation?
I never knew any funny comments about the Dalqhuist DQ - 10's so I'll make one up - the speakers w/ the Don't Quit crossovers - so complex w/ many mediocre parts & drivers. I know they were amongst the first speakers to address the concepts of...
