Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround?
Mine was not a warranty repair, it was actually elective surgery I sent her in foršŸ˜. I have a Simaudio Titan 5 channel amp that is 20 years old. I bought her used a few years ago. Though she was super clean and sounded every bit as good as I had a... 
What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?
@hifiman5Ā so eloquently and succinctly stated ā€œMy solitary passionā€. Completely feel you my friend. Same same hereā€¦  
What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?
To really hear and ā€œshow offā€ what my system can do itā€™s Diana Krallā€™s ā€œThe Girl in the Other Roomā€. Plus every single song is just so emotionally involving especially ā€œDeparture Bayā€ the last song on the CD. Itā€™s honestly the one CD I play in itā€™... 
Passion, or ..... Precision?
This is a great post. @markprice I too sometimes find myself analyzing rather than hearing. Hard to get out of that behavior as @pesky_wabbit saidā€¦I remember I read something on here posted by @millercarbon. I forget the musician who said it but i... 
How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system?
@analoguefanĀ this is a great post. Unfortunately, it's because I can so empathize and have had these very same thoughts. Especially in today's wild and crazy non stop world we now live in. I have spent so much time and money getting my system to e... 
My experience with Joseph Sahyoun of Earthquake Sound
@gregaviĀ Thanks for sharing! And agree 100% about Joseph being ā€œthe biggest of charactersā€! So wish I couldā€™ve met him in person, but Iā€™m on the other side of the country in Nashua, NH. And had similar conversations regarding others in the industr... 
LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
Iron Maiden @ MSG 3/30/16. My earls literally rang for 5 days straight. It got to the point where I was truly nervous it wouldnā€™t stop-honestly could hardly hear anything else but the ringingā€¦I recovered but Iā€™ve definitely done some permanent dam...

Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
@hilde45Ā I posted an identical question a few months back. I looked at the Townshend and Gaia's. I just didn't want to spend that much $ and I really didn't want to raise my speaks any higher as they are already quite large (Revel Performa3 F208's...

This canā€™t be serious??? Check this out at Dedicated Audio
Thatā€™s what Iā€™m sayin @nonoise! If this things legit Iā€™ll drain my 401K and buy this thing man!šŸ˜‚ This has to be a joke though, right? It really is for sale on their website. I even added it to cart to see and it allowedšŸ˜‚  
The best plug in filter ever!
Hi All, Well after reading this post my curiosity was piqued. I sent the email to verifiaudio via the link provided by @shkong78Ā . Mark responded (very quickly to multiple emails I sent asking a million questions by the way) and I ordered up! He ... 
Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market
As a lifelong diehard Dynaudio fan, I only very recently have gone another direction. My current lineup consisted of Dynaudio Evoke (50's. 25C, 10's-I do both audio and HT). With the recent 30% sale on Revel Performa3 I felt I had to at least give... 
Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics?
I have had a few (including the president of Earthquake Joseph Sahyoun directly) of different amp manufacturers (Simaudio, Bel Canto), tell me go directly to the outlet and bypass power conditioners with an amp. I had a few lengthy conversations w...
