Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided
Right now I am working with two people who make a lot of sense.  I learned something to day and I won't forget it.  This person said you need to treat speaker wires and connects like components.  Up until now I didn't realize you can hear a differ... 
Replacement for current speakers suggestions
How can springs noticably change sound?  Does an amplifier jump around when being played?  Please explain this.  The more I listen to some of these discussions I am convinced many in this hobby are obscessive compulsive.  Not trying to put people ... 
Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers
I am working with a sales person at The Cable Company.  So far, we have upgraded my speaker wires and power cord.  I do hear a difference.  I am hearing greater detail and space.  I stream now 100% of the time.  My sales person said the next step ...

Could someone buy me a new car?  
AGON screening to filter out crap new posts has regressed back to the pits..
I sent my concerns to Tammy and I am waiting for a response. I do wish people wouldn't try to make cute remarks or make people feel stupid.  If we all knew everything, why would we need this discussion group. I realize some of these discussions ... 
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
Funny you should start this discussion, as I just sent a message to Tammy with my own concerns. I joined this group because I am a beginner and I want to learn more about how to create a better sounding system.  However, nearly every discussion i... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I think many in this group tend to split hairs on trying to improve their system.  I think it would be very beneficial to use the knowledge in this group and discuss what is the next step to improve their system.  For example, do I buy better spea... 
Capital Audiofest, save thyself!
I totally agree with you.  I have them play three songs that truly are some of the best songs to demonstrate a systems capabilities.  We know in most cases what recordings show of a sound system.  We also know what kinds of music we like to play o... 
One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
You should try going to the Magnolia store in Lone Tree, Colorado.  The manager there is the most unfriendly person on the planet and then he expects you to buy something from him.  Our largest dealer in town with the best lines have sales people ... 
Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system
I keep hearing the name Luxman 509X.  I just wish I had the budget for this. 
Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging...
There is a local dealer that specializes in Master Setting speakers.I started out with my speakers closer to the back wall and as soon as I placed them 18 inches from the back wall and measure each speaker's distanced from the left and right wall ... 
High Fidelity Sound Speaker
I wonder what speakers priced between $5,000 to $10,000 sound better.  It would be helpful if a sound engineer were to list the best speakers in order rather than the dealers and manufactures who list them online.  I doubt Focal is going to list P... 
Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.
Right now, I cannot understand why anyone would use a turn table with today's streaming technologies.  I must admit the $20,000 turn tables are gorgeous.  But tracking a record with a needle produces a lot of noise.  Also, digital amplifiers like ... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
I wish offensive remarks would be eliminated from our discussion and perhaps those doing so would be removed from the discussion group.  This certainly makes people uneasy for posting their questions in the first place.  If this is allowed to cont... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
Look at Synergistic Research.  They make high quality products.  Ask for Jason Ressler when you call.  He is extremely knowledgeable and honest.  Tell him Larry from Denver sent you.  You will really talking to him.  One of the most knowledgeable ...
