Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps
This is a question, I’m presently having a problem with.  For the last three years, I’ve really enjoyed using a tube pre (Audio Hungary) with a tube amplifier (PrimaLuna) with my Sonus Faber (Sonetto lll) speakers. I love this combination as Sonus... 
Open Baffle Experience
OB question I’ve never got an answer on; Can an OB speaker be utilized in a “small room” (14’x12’x8’)???

AKM makes the best DACs
AKM all the way vs ESS Sabre’s. I have multiple daps and the AKM’s sound better to my ear vs the “brighter” ess chips. I’ve experienced this in multiple Astel n Kern daps….

PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming

Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute
TIDAL SUCKS - QOBUZ ROCKS! PERIOD - END OF STORY  
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
I can’t remember the worst (probably Aerosmith at the “Big A”) but I can surely tell you about the best! I saw Led Zeppelin on 6/23/77 at the LA Forum. Seventeen years old and twelve guys from the High School football and baseball teams scalped ti... 
Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else
That’s easy- change speakers! 
For those that use an external DAC with node 2i
It’s a $550 streamer ($450) on sale when I bought it. Don’t expect miracles. I added an aftermarket power cable and a GOOD Kimber Kable D60 coax cable that runs to my Cary dac. “Improvements” that can help with sound quality. I’ve never heard the ... 
what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with.
I’m very happy with my classic bi-axis Dynavector DV-505.
