More Bass
@audiom3 Problem with uploading to YT is not just the compression but most won’t be able to play back that deep bass anyway unless they have a decent sub. Really? Take a serious listening to the Quolio IQ YT demo. This time use your headphone. ... 
More Bass
I recalled, one and half year ago, I came across a pair of used Legacy Focus SE for a increadibly affordable price including shipping and was tempted. Fortunately I was able to audition first and decide not to pursue because its so-so bass perform... 
Low level listening
Several mentioned about the ISO 2003 Equal Loudness Contour (ELC). In the following, I will show you how to translate those curves into practices, i.e., use the notion to program the EQ presets in whatever the player you have. I used foobar2000 as...

AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend.........
ASR again? I wonder if many treads including this one were created purposely here by the ASR members. No value but to stir up the crowd for their entertainment.  
"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
@mastering92 The above is what I often tell audiophiles when I visit audio stores and they ask me questions - such as: "what kind of power cable should I get?" "They" ask you questions when you visit audio stores. Who are "they", the dealer from ... 
Feets Don’t Fail Me Now

Speakers for a unique small room
These are a few stand-mount / bookshelf speakers that have received very positive reviews and will extend close to 40hz or below in room for your consideration. I have auditioned most of them but pls take with a grain of salt. Dynaudio Special ... 
Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there?
I’m not sure about the gain control in Benchmark AHB2. But for Parasound A21+, one could adjust its unit gain control down (usually below 12 AM) to better match / leave room for the volume control on Topping Pre90. It is better to have larger tap ... 
Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there?
@tomcarr  Would you please do another comparison possibly for the good of the group with and without the (topping) preamp?  Is with preamp better sonically?  How much better and in what ways?  Thanks.  
Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great?
My current 2nd system: Ifi Zen Streamer ($300) -> Smsl Do200 ($400) -> Parasound NC 2125 v2 ($600) -> NHT SB3 ($250) = $1550 😊
