| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? So, essentially OP had the brand new Naim 5si for $1,250. What a great deal. Also, no sale tax. What company / store is that? So far, I only know a UK company based in US carrying on-line merchandizes does not collect sale tax. A hint would be ... | |

| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @jjss49 Music Direct covers the return shipping IF the return is due to damaged / deflective items. But if the return is simply "don’t like it", the customer will be responsible for the return shipping. Their 60 days’ in-home auditioning policy i... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems @williewonka, I was able to take a "one-time-only" peek at your response (via notification) but nothing was related to my question. This is a fundamental question related to the essense of your Helix design that, I believe, audiophiles desire to e... | |

| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? This is one of BEST tweaks in audio listening I have ever experienced in addition to gear cleaning, air purification, moisture removals, ear cleaning and so on. It cures my ear TINNITUS (at least a few hours after my morning 5-10K run) and my min... | |
| Technical assistance and recommendations needed If permissible, pull the speakers out from the back wall to a minimum of 3 ft measured from the tweeter/baffle to have more SS depth and to avoid the reflected sound mingled with the direct sound. | |
| Budget re-cabling OP, I sincerely apologize that the table values were for interconnect cable instead of speaker cables. But the renowned Belden speaker cables 10-12awg (5T00UP / 5000UP) is good performers and used by BJC. The Part Express sells 5T00UP for cheap... | |
| DAC for second system I have not auditioned it personally but Gustard r26 had excellent reviews. Pay due attentions to its performance relative to the new Ares 12th and BF 2/64. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Once you are addicted to a refined, audiophile grade system you built, it is very difficult to go back to a lesser system and listen to music at the same level of satisfaction. There is no point of retiring from a audiophile state of mind. One t... | |
| Apple Music vs. YouTube sound quality YT music has been using AAC up to 128 kbps for the free one and up to 256 kbps for the paid service. I have been extensively listening to YT music for about 2 years and no codec change away from that setting. AAC is in general better than MP3 at... | |
| The problem with PLC No naming calling but the PLC stands for Pierrot the Lonely Clown. Pierrot was seen as a lonely fellow sufferer at the time. The lonely clown plays a funny role here to get attention, recgnition and responses. So far, he seems doing ok. I even ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @atmasphere what about large multi-driver full range speakers that are really hard to drive? They don’t get the Murphy that a smaller speaker does for low efficiency. Thx for the comment. You got me to think a bit while longer but it is de... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often In the opening, the OP said out loud that "We need to reject hard-to-drive speakers as being Hi-Fi". Now the tone was evolved to "... It's fine with me if you buy a car that gets 10 MPG. What I disagree with is the awe and bragging rights associat... | |
