Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product
I have a pair under Legacy Aeris speakers and think the Townshend's have many positive attributes. Most dramatically, they cleaned up boomy bass - or resonant bass, which had the audible effect of making the mids and highs clearer. I also feel due... 
Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate?
14 years + for me! The only rules are that I have to make the system easy enough to use so that she can enjoy it if I am not around :) 
Aurender VS Innuos
I hate to muddy things but have a Zenith MKII by Innuos and am very pleased by the sound, and I haven't had any issues with using it. In fact, the one or two questions I have had along the way were answered very promptly by Innuos. To my ears, the... 
Surge protector vs wall debate for amps
You are right, there are a ton of posts that will advocate for either option. I say go with your ears. One option to keep in mind - you can always add an insurance rider for electronics if you end up going directly to the wall and a surge happens....

Cover Songs that are better than the Original
Hurt - Johnny Cash. You can literally feel the emotion. Fantastic. 
Calling all Legacy Aeris owners
I've got a pair and the comments above echo what I would say. The only thing I would add is that depending on how far you are seated from them, there can be some variance regarding the treble section because of the height of the AMT. The further a... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101
I don't post terribly often but thought I would as I have the Gryphon 300 and had the JC1s. I have also had the pleasure of the Pass 150.8 in my home. All 3 are really nice amps but each brings its own flavor. To me, the Gryphon 300 is a bottom up... 
New Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifer
I got to hear this at AXPONA and it was really something special. I have the M2Z as well and it definitely seemed like the new model had all of the positive traits from it - just done better. Very impressive. 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hey Corelli,Did I read correctly you are in Grand Rapids, MI? If so, can I come and check these things out sometime? I've read too many positive attributes to not give them a listen.Thanks!Terry 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Mark - I wish you the best as you battle your health issues. Just a quick note others may be interested in. I picked up an 1800 from AXPONA and have 2 JC1's and my Exogal DAC and Mac Mini plugged into it. After letting it settle for a couple of da... 
Parasound JC1 vs Plinius sb301
That's great to hear, and I appreciate the comparison. I had a Levinson 332 so I feel I have a good understanding of what you're saying.Thank you! 
Thoughts on Burmester vs. Rowland
Thanks! The big room is a nice challenge to have - hence the bigger speakers :) Spectral is a solid idea, I'll have to check them out. I know they have some diehard fans. 
Thoughts on Burmester vs. Rowland
Thanks for the input. The room is 30 x 18 with 15ft tall ceilings. I believe the sensitivity of the speakers is 88db, but I'm not 100% certain of that. The 956 is 240wats at 4ohm, not 500, so that is a sizeable difference. I've thought about addin... 
Anyone listen to Pandora lately?
I have a modded Sonos running through an Exogal and I think it is decent with a paid subscription. Comparing Tidal on Sonos, Tidal is definitely better. And one step up again is Tidal streaming from a Mac mini...just more room and air around every...
