Anyone have experience with Gershman Avant Garde vs Studio II speakers???
I also heard the AG at a recent show and it sounded amazing. I’m normally a Magico, YG Acoustic fan so was surprised at the great sound, maybe a sonic bargain. Reviewer Audio Bacon purchased a pair.    
Obvious Epiphany
…and I just slid my listening position to the left about two feet or so. So, is the moral of the story is if one moves their butt a little, sometimes great things can happen? :)  
Upgrade from Innuos Zen Mini Mkiii to Innuos Pulse
I’m wondering how the Pulsar compares to the Zenith mk3.  
Need stand recommendation for Gershman studio IIs
Mofi Sourcepoint speaker stands here might work  
Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500?
Not arrogance, just expectations based upon generally accepted principles. In high end digital, the PC is well known to be noisy especially when sharing resources with other applications. That’s why dedicated audiophile streamers are common in our... 
Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500?
Wouldn’t the OP be better served with a server/streamer than a noisy PC? Is the DAC the Oppo 205?  
Where to go next with the turntable
The new MoFi MasterDeck turntable here seems to be a sonic bargain, the optional cartridge upgrade seems like a bargain as well.    
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
I've been curious about the Synergistic Research Network Router UEF here.  Although it's nice to have more options sometimes this hobby uncomfortably tugs at the wallet

I never go into the woods without my Ethernet filter…period! Some woods may require something with a bit more power, velocity, and range. Accuracy is often crucial :)  
Started with $1k speakers … what now?
@jdavis234  are you looking for standmounts or floorstander speakers?  
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@mitch2 I agree with your conclusions. Trying to understand the “why” is elusive. Many manufacturers design improvements then listen and maybe adjust designs before being to market. It’s not that they have a specific sonic that they try to match... 
Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution
OP - congratulations on finding a satisfying sound. Enjoy.  
Volti Audio owners, is the fire still there?
I own the 100db Volti Rival for my foray into tube magic starting with a 300b amp. I also plan to try a 45 SET amp in which Greg says should work okay (speaker is efficient enough). I also run a second system with 89db speakers and SS electronics.  
SUT experience
I have the VDH Grail SB “current” phono preamp, so trying out a SUT would require an “voltage” phono preamp.  I have a few Ortofon SPUs and 2 Koetsu carts- was wondering if I should try SUTs - what’s the sonic benefit?    
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
Although servers can be personal computer based, “audiophile” servers are designed differently with different parts. Since it’s generally accepted that different parts (resistors, capacitors, transformers, power supplies, etc) can sound different,...
