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... 
???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???
I heard the new small 2 way stand mount from PS Audio & they’re quite good. Also the new small speaker from Quad just got a good review from Stereophile. The two Mofi are really musical & image great. Also I’ liked the  two newer KLH model...

Are they effectively Avantgarde’s “ economy” line? How do they sound & compare to their Unos & Duos which I’m quite familiar with?   
Music server recommendations needed.
Amit: as a few others have said, you just described what the Innuos Zenith Mark III does really well. It’s easy to use, sounds great & its app on your phone or tablet is easy to use & works well. I got it for all the same needs you have. O... 
Speaker Suggestions for Next Move
I have owned & thoroughly enjoyed my Volti Rivals for almost 3 years. I heard them at the Capitol Audiofest & bought the show pair after a few different listening sessions & comparing them to what I heard at a few other speaker compani... 
YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics.
To kennymacc’s wish: other than a small % of people under about 35 now who think that owning a turntable & a few “vinyls” as many of that age group call them, or tapes & CD’s, most couldn’t be bothered & probably never will be.    I’m... 
Next step up on the streaming food chain?
I recently got a Bricasti M 1 Series II DAC to pair w/ my Innuos Zenith Mk II & OPPO CD player ( used as a transport).  It is the first time in my system ( only one I know well enough to say this) that streaming music on Qobuz or playing a CD ... 
A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing.
All the members of The Band had unique, very high level talent & together made some great music. My Dad bought their second album (the brown one) in 1969  after reading about it in Time magazine & while he liked it, it wasn’t his thing so ... 
Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble?
Good analogy Audphile1! You just described the difference of most Samsung TV’ s( over saturated colors) vs the better Sony & LG’s. They have a blacker background & more realistic colors which can be very similar to a really good, natural s... 
Streamer/Ripper/Storage
Another recommendation for Innuos Zenith Mk III. It sounds very good, performs flawlessly & they offer very responsive customer service for any issues or questions of which mine were of course user error….  
Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4)
I don’t know the answers to the other questions by I believe the Cars, Dire Straits & The Police all put out their first stuff in 1978. Sad too because imo, great rock started a deep decline after them & maybe just a few others faded away.   
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
I be not heard many of the speakers mentioned but did really enjoy the TAD compact Evolutions the couple times I listen to them. Incredibly full range & “live music”  sounding for such a small speaker. They’re probably about the most pricey of...
