An audio component you just can't let go
Koetsu Corralstone - maybe the best “musical” cartridge which is now unobtainable  
What's the best bang for my bucks on RP6 upgrade?
@dkidknow  You’re asking us to answer the upgrade question only you can answer.  Yes, you can get a sonic uptick “for a price”, whether this uptick is worth the price only you can answer- we each have unique budgets and commitment to this hobby. ... 
FIdelity Cables or Virtual Dynamics
That is a question only you can answer.  +1 @spatialking  @miglos  We cannot tell you what sonic changes will happen within your own audio chain + room conditions. We cannot tell you if the change is worth purchasing - we each have different... 
SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue
If it works or doesn't work in your system does NOT mean it will work/not work in someone else's system. There are no absolutes in this hobby. I literally cringe when someone uses the term "Snake Oil".  Buy it, try it, if you don't like it, re... 
Where to purchase cables?
Generally speaking, one should purchase cabling at the same level as their audio chain. For instance, if one has a 100k system, high quality cabling is needed to prevent sonic bottlenecks. But if one has an entry system, then minimal should be spe...

What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier?
Whammerdyne - maybe best...for a price... Looking at Triode Labs for great price/performance. New Audio Frontiers Performance 2A3 MkII - reportedly one of the best 2a3 sonics

Lampizator Review
A state of the art DAC usually targeted at top of the line systems.  Considering it sonically competes with the very best 100k+ DACs (MSB, Aries Caret, Wadax, dsc…), it’s a relatively good buy. Still, the Horizon is out on my budget. The subseque... 
Check This Out!
Thanks @lalitk - finding a DAC at this price point that can sonically compete with the best DACs is daunting.    
Looking for my End Game Speaker
@calgarian5355  When you demo speakers, keep I’m mind that poor room conditions often results in the speaker sounding poor/subpar - this is a common occurrence at audio shows using hotel rooms.  My speaker preferences are Magico and YG, but at AX... 
Mofi Sourcepoint 888?
Yup, those A5 bass drivers look 👀 like they can crank up some serious bass energy, because they can!  Let’s play some orchestral music!  
Non-Audiophile Audiophile question!
Omni like Ohm - larger and much more forgiving sweet spot.  
Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable.

Does old-fashioned necessarily mean out of date?
@mew2150 Seems you are on the outside looking in meaning you have not listened to current top gear. High-end audio the sonics are significantly much better and thus much more engaging than box store components. Trying to think box store to reali...
