FInally I have a noise issue
Maybe it is the source?  
Should Audiogon forum dealers be held to a different standard?
It sounds like you have a way to identify dealers.  If so can you tell me how to identify them.  I have always felt dealers should be identified because this certainly could explain their bias.  The should identify themselves with the name of deal... 
33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better
I wonder what sounds better.   Vinyl or Cd's?  I have always thought the reason CD's came out was to eliminate the noise from vinyl.  Also, what sounds better, a CD or Streaming?  You can stream 24/192 and a CD is 16 bit.  You would think hi-res w... 
The vanishing stereo rack
I have all my components hidden away in an entrainment cabinet.  We have a beautiful living room and we don’t want to goober it up.  The systems I have seen are ugly.  My wife would kick me out our house. Since adding a BlueSound Node 2i I no lon... 
Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
I can’t believe such an old discussion started up again.  At the time I first listened to a REL t9 matched with a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozart speakers.  The Mozart’s already played down low and the small REL t9 was not able to be detected.  Ri... 
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
I can't understand why you are using a computer.  I stream by using a BlueSound Node 2i and stream Tidal.  I just sit on my sofa using my iPhone and select music to listen to.  I do want to hear the more expensive streamers to find out if they rea... 
Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system?
Most amplifiers and receivers come with a $7 to $10 power cord.  Expensive power cords are often 1 inch to 3 inches in diameter.  I noticed I could turn the volume down to reach the same db.  Perhaps I am crazy and wanted to hear a difference.    
Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers?
I wonder why you are using an old computer.  My BlueSound Node 2i streams Tidal without using a computer.  When I purchased the BlueSound Node 2i the retailer convinced me to al purchase a Project DAC.  Adding the Project DAC caused the bass too s... 
Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
Can you really hear the difference if doing a blind test?  I would think having people sit down and listen by not telling them they are listening to with and without would be the true test.  Kind of like The Emperors New Cloths Syndrome.  It would... 
Avalon Acoustics reputation
Looks to me you should move on.  It is important the manufacture feels responsible to back their products after the sale.  I have an ARCAM AVR 550 and sent it in.  They replace everything with the 950 except the power supply.  It was like getting ... 
Energy speakers
Are they new or used?  Based on price it looks like they are used.  Do you have a home theater system?  If you don't have a pair of subwoofers, I would recommend you looks at REL.  You have to dial them, so they act like woofers.  However, they al... 
Step up From Rogue RP-5
How do you like your Focal n2 speakers.  I just looked at their specification sheet and they certainly are high performance speakers.  I am thinking about the Kanta 2's or 3's.  
Was my friend given misinformation.
Who would ever listen to a salesperson at Best Buy. in the first place?   Integrated amps have come a long way.  I dream of owning a Luxman 509.  Integrated amps help clear the clutter and they help to make room inside an entertainment center.  A... 
My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
Luxman!!!  
Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers
Ryder, what kind of speakers are those.  They must cost a fortune.  What are you driving them with?
