Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@ellajeanelle there is absolutely no hiss.In fact there is not even an audible click when switching to bypass or back again. This is with very sensitive Zu speakers.I'm using it between the dac and pre. When reading what other users think of the S... 
Bootleg bust
Pretty cool. Kudos for being polite but firm with the clerk.  
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@ellajeanelle I'll leave a link for you.I  bought it as a step up from the Lokius,which was my first tentative step towards parametric equalizers. I was skeptical about adding another cable and component but curious enough to try it for a modest o... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@audiorusty running the cables around the perimeter is tricky because of two doorways to navigate either under or over. Old weird farmhouse. If I decide I really want it nearby then I'll put some more thought into it. @ellajeanelle the API unit I... 
To loom or not to loom?
I have had entire looms of Audioquest, WireWorld,and ZenWave.At present ICs and SCs are Voodoo Audio with several brands of PCs.IMHO if there is enough variety of flavor, spice,tone,whatever in a manufacturer's lines a loom will work for anybody. ...

The guy in question is not on most Agon member's list of recommended reviewers.If one wanted to point someone towards a YT channel to gain knowledge it would be elsewhere. Bad publicity will get him more views and people will make up their own min... 
Records and CDs
Since getting a top loading transport the ritual of choosing,cleaning, and playing the disc is very much like having a turntable. Easier but satisfying. Reading the liner notes on the tiny covers not so much:-)

@dave1980  the Poe video was very interesting. I need more diffusion in my room and now I have more to think about. Thanks.  
Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks!
Why not just just use  RCAv Y connectors from the integrated to the sub?  
What songs do you listen to to test a system's midrange performance?
I start with a sampler disc by Analogue Productions that I received when first subscribing to the now defunct Fi magazine.It has a little bit of everything.  
Lii Audio open baffles vs Forte 1 vs Heresy IV
I liked them all actually. The Liis were so clear with a huge soundstage.The Fortes had a meatier sound as did the Heresys(which could use a pair of subs).Thank you for the video.  
Let the best be your guide
I can enjoy music on the car radio or whatever mediocre source. But in my system at home I want everything to sound as good as possible.For subpar recordings I'll choose to "color" them via eq.After listening to live music as a teen I began to thi... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@audiorusty having the EQ nearby would be ideal but not practical to have them running across the floor. Drilling down and running them underneath would be an option.Something to think about:-)  
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Yes indeed. I ordered via Reverb from a shop here in my state- Viking King Audio and it was delivered the next day. It's industrial looking since it's not designed to be aesthetically appealing for the audiophile market but it will look fine when ...
