What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
@oddiofyl  been to all 3 of those myself and agree they have all been very down to Earth and friendly. In fact I just bought my Revel’s at Natural Sound back in October. Even though I could have received an extra 10% going online (and gotten them ... 
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 for😁. 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?
@hifiman5 so eloquently and succinctly stated “My solitary passion”. Completely feel you my friend. Same same here…  
What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?
To really hear and “show off” what my system can do it’s Diana Krall’s “The Girl in the Other Room”. Plus every single song is just so emotionally involving especially “Departure Bay” the last song on the CD. It’s honestly the one CD I play in it’... 
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 said…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?
@analoguefan 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
@gregavi Thanks for sharing! And agree 100% about Joseph being “the biggest of characters”! So wish I could’ve met him in person, but I’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 wouldn’t stop-honestly could hardly hear anything else but the ringing…I recovered but I’ve definitely done some permanent dam... 
Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align
The look of Love - Diana Krall A Venture - The Yes Album I’m Coming Through - Diana Krall The Gurl In The Other Room Spooky  - David Sanborn Songs From The Night Before Could only narrow it down to 4😬  
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?

Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
@hilde45 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 can’t be serious??? Check this out at Dedicated Audio
That’s what I’m sayin @nonoise! If this things legit I’ll drain my 401K and buy this thing man!😂 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 allowed😂  
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 @shkong78 . 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...
