Planar headphones
I don't think so; I've got separate systems for 2-channel and for headphones, and speakers and headphones are just not comparable - one is not 'better' than the other, just totally different experiences..   
EBAY MONEY BACK.......WHAT A JOKE ???
I use my credit card for all purchases; even PayPal goes through my credit card. My bank has always refunded me for the few disputes I've ever had; they've got good lawyers for dealing with these things..   
Qobuz email looks suspicious
Did you look and see what the 'From' email address really was? In scam emails, it is generally nothing to do with the 'From' that you see.... That's what I always do, anyway; I've even come across a few this way that I thought were spam and were a... 
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
@thecarpathian - 😄  That Australian YouTube guy Lachlan often wears a t-shirt that says, "Surely not EVERYBODY was kung-fu fighting."  
Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube?
I've got contemporary WE 300B's made in Georgia (the state, not the country) - those are awesome tubes that made my amp sound like an upgraded model, if there's been one. Expensive indeed, but worth it if it's what you like.   
Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers
@erik_squires - That's interesting to hear! In my space with my gear, they're quite the opposite. Those Carrera's rock in my acoustically dead living room, and with the right source and gear, they will shake the floor even at moderate volume. I dr... 
We Are Not Alone--there are those above us
Roy also kept a low profile, playing at the Crossroads Supper Club in Riverdale, MD, as the house band....  Check his playing on 'The Messiah Will Surely Come Again'....   
Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers
I just did a speaker upgrade and happen to have a pair of Fritz Carrerra BE's I'm putting up for sale; I'll have them up on here or USAM later today if interested.... They are wonderful speakers; I'm just replacing them with ones that are in anot... 
You Can Get Rich From 'Snake Oil'!
If some 'expert' says so, that's it - end of story! No further discussion necessary.   
RIP Tom Jones
@thecarpathian - right you are,@kennyc  - I missed that (someday)!   
RIP Tom Jones
@kennyc - if you look farther up the thread, you'll see that this is a different Tom Jones.   
What new gear have you just bought?
Got a pair of Marten Parker Duo speakers on Wednesday....   
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@mhemusic - that's a great idea; I'd not heard of that - thank you! I'll check out the link, but I hope one can use one's own artwork?  @stuartk - yes, I totally agree with you on that; I misunderstood the point.   
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
@stuartk - unless I was hiring the contractor to be my decorator, why would I care the slightest about what the contractor thought about feng shui or anything else regarding home decoration? If he laughed at me, he'd be a contractor looking for an... 
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
@onhwy61 + 1 - Unfortunately, it's no longer hard for me to comprehend....
