Shofar,Thanks!You did not say where you stand on this. 
I need help to select a music streamer
I Googled 16 bit vs 24 bit vs MQA today and viewed 3 technical videos and read three articles.  They said 24 bit produces less noise.  However, they all said in a blind listening test, no one would detect the difference.  I thought I heard a bigge...

I need help to select a music streamer
Phil,i will I’ll be hard wiring using CAT6.  I also stream tidal.  I want to be able to stream 24 bit and MQA.  I have an ARCAM AVR 550.  Wonder how good the DAC is? 
Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane
I have a difficult time believing you can hear a difference buying an expensive power cord.  Think this is similar to the story, "The Emperors New Cloths".  If you spend more you convince yourself it sounds better.  However, how much better?  Coul... 
Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him!
This problem does not appear to be caused by the buyer.  More care should have been taken to prepare the boxes for shipment.  However, how could an unsealed inner box cause this problem when they were double boxed and the outer box was in tact.  N... 
Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane
I just can’t believe power cable can make a difference in sound quality.i can’t hear the difference between the metal jumpers on my speakers vs the original jumper plates.  Tara said the job Moët wires need to burn in.  In theory the jumper wires ...

My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
I meant to add.  I decided to go with REL rather than go with Rythmic subwoofers.  Because Rythmik only sells direct, I was unable to hear them.  Here, the dealers scored 100 and Rythmik scored 10. People Les do not buy $300,000 Bentley’s without ... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
I applaud someone who has gotten the guts to at least breach this subject.  They did not connect the dots until I made several comments about how wonderful SALK Audio speakers sound.  Dealers certainly do not like to hear the words “sell direct”. ... 
Best budget preamp for my entry level system?
I'm curious.  Why would you choose those speakers? 
Speaker selector app.
SALK SONG3 ENCORE'S priced at $6,000/pair.  Certainly better than any $20.000 pair of speakers you will ever hear.However.........soosh!  They sell direct and the dealers here sure wouldn't want to hear this. 
What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?
It is all about pounding your chest when you have your buddies over to show them your new stuff.  It is then very important to tell them what you spent so they can all be extremely impressed.  Then ask one of your buddies to do a blind testing bet... 
Looking for a good full range floor stander
audiotroy2,You must be a dealer.  When I was looking for speakers, I thought Focal, B&W and Keff's were some of the worst out there.  Focal's aria line is one of the worst (look at the reviews).  When I heard them I asked the dealer, "Where's ... 
what is it in audio that you dislike most?
Most dealers operate on a shoe string.  They don’t have inventory to demo and if they do, they assume you will not buy the higher end lines.  Their show rooms are usually low budget and they don’t bother to master set their speakers.  They want to...
