Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
I have some high frequency hearing loss with tinnitus. Do hearing aids sound artificial and tinny?  
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
Kind of like the Emperor's New Cloths.  I am sure there must be a certain dollar amount that is considered fine enough quality.  I would be more likely to purchase a power conditioner. 
Multi Meter Tweak
I wonder what most people in this hobby use, a multi meter or their ears?  I don't even own a multi meter and if I did I don't even know how to use one.  Maybe I should run out and buy one.  I played with speaker placement and seem to have dialed ... 
Jazz for aficionados
I like the Vincent Ingala Albumn especially his song Crazy.  I also like the Michael Wollny Trio Welltentraum Albumn Released in 2/25/2014.  Especially his song Little Person.  His bass string reaches really low and it is a great piece to play whe... 
The Future of Speakers?
Seems stupid to me. 
Take that to good will
Donate it to a young start up and make someone feel good.  It's Christmas! 
The survival of the fittest.
My wife certainly wouldn't allow a pair of Tekton's to be displayed in our living room nor would I.  Pretty ugly in my opinion.  I can't believe how ugly some of the systems I see pictured on Audiogon are.  They must have some very forgiving wives... 
Women who enjoy quality speakers
I think most women won't admit they like the sound of good music.  I remember add a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers to my system and dancing in the living room.  She noticed the difference and never complained after that.  She like showing off our s... 
Photos of my system
Can't beat SALK audio.  Wonder why you didn't end up with Tower's?  What kind of subwoofer is that?  Would you benefit from adding another sub? 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Based on this discussion, what is the price range you are willing to spend and what are the top five within that price range this group would highly recommend and why? 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
I don't believe you mentioned the kind of speakers you presently have.  Have you heard a pair of SALK speakers?  I heard a pair at the RMAF in Denver a couple years ago, and the impressed me the most at the show.  They played everything well.  Jim... 
Buying a DAC when you can't try it first
That  TUBADOUR III Non Oversampling Tube DAC sounds interesting.  How durable are the tubes?  Are you replacing the tubes frequently?I purchased a BlueSound Node 2i and was talked into adding a ProJect S2 DAC and I thought it sounded thin compare... 
High end Class D amps?
I always thought pure class A amplification was most ideal.  So why manufacture Class D amps?  I think Class D amps push and pull the speakers, not sure.  I like the ARCAM AVR 850 because it produces pure Class A amplification the first 50 amps.  ... 
Speaker Positioning
The people at Soundings in Denver feel strongly about MASTER SETTING speakers.  I went with the triangle method and as soon as I moved my towers forward from the front wall, I notice a lot of improvement.  This group is extremely knowledgeable abo... 
What should be my next speaker - the never ending question
You might consider buying a pair of SALK Song3 Encore Towers.  They are $6,000/pair and sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the hall at RMAF in Denver.  Jim Salk sells direct so he can afford to install better drivers and build bet...
