Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Dynaudio Audience 82. First time I ever truly experienced and then understood the term "disappear" when describing speakers. I remember the very first time I sat down for a critical listen after bringing them home and waiting about a week for them... 
Desperately seeking some advice/tips for my S.M.S.L. SU-9 DAC
Thank you for all who have taken your time to reply. Great advice and I sincerely appreciate it...First things first and I’m running this puppy for a few days to break in before I play with the different settings...It does not have a standby mode ... 
Desperately seeking some advice/tips for my S.M.S.L. SU-9 DAC
Thank you @spenav and @lordmelton for taking the time to reply. Your time and advice is truly appreciated :)   I'll start with @lordmelton's suggestions and then play around from there. I know the manufacturer is just giving options-which is a g... 
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
Speakers. I remember when I first started out 23+ years ago and going from Bose to Definitive Technology to B&W and then finally to Dynaudio. Each time offered a pretty significant jump in improvement. But pre Dyn nothing came close to the imp... 
Speakers known for great midrange.
I'll have to throw another plug for Dynaudio. In all my years of listening/owning different brands I have not found any other speaker that can compete with the Danes, especially in the mids...  
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
I was actually in the exact same situation about 4 years ago. 20 year hiatus and then wanted to get back in. I feel you 100% jaybird! Had the same thoughts and wonders...But I knew where I left off was where I should start. With the speaks. Back t... 
Sound Better w/Amp Directly Into Wall Then Thru Zero Surge
@johnto VERBATIM! This is exactly what both Shunyata and the folks at Simaudio  said. I had reached out to Shunyata on a question regarding one of their power cords and when I mentioned I had my amp plugged into a Furman Elite 20PFi Richard at Shu... 
What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?
@bigtex22 GREAT post! I've often wondered this same thing.   
Speakers with a slightly warm midrange
I would add Dynaudio. I have a pair of Sonus Faber Sonetto III and also Dynaudio Evoke 50. For me, I find the Danes to be much more airy and lifelike. The SF's almost sound a bit more muddled when compared to the Dynaudio's. Believe me I am not kn... 
Power Conditioner question
I just sort of threw out a similar post a while back. I too use Transparent cables. My IC's and speaker cables are all Transparent. However I have found that I think certain cable manufacturers do certain things better. For example I think Transpa... 
Need speaker recommendations.

Decisive moments your your audio journey
Great post OP! Most definitely I have had 2 such moments. One was back in the late 80's. While listening (under the influence of some damn good pot) to Yes "Parallels" live from the Yesshows cd. At one point I was so into it and the music was so c... 
Bel Canto opinions
Great advice, thank you all very much for sharing! Also great to hear such positive news on the BC! Definitely even more anxious to get my paws on it. It should arrive Thursday. Think I'll go directly to the wall outlet. Plus I am using a Shunyata... 
The Cable Co
@david_ten thanks for sharing man. I still can’t believe what they did for me!😊😊😊  
Bel Canto opinions
Thanks Soix! I was truly shocked at the difference with my Sim amp going directly to the outlet and bypassing the Furman. But I know class D amps are a bit if a different animal…tThanks again man, I appreciate you taking the time to respond😌
