@justinm you might want to consider getting away from all those wall warts and getting a Transporter instead which will tidy things up a bit and produce better sound for you. 
Interesting Young Female Artist - Madison Cunningham
Thanks for the lead I will have to give her a listen. 
A philosophical question.
A lot of times I will start a listening session with something new that maybe a friend, critic or relative recommends. Tidal is great for this type of exploring but once the system is warmed up if nothing grabs my attention, I will start playing m...

Just another Orange fuse thread
As Millercarbon stated too many people don’t know how to listen. That  not only applies to music ,their stereos but others as well. When I go to a business meeting with people I am not too familiar with I watch to see who are the talkers and who a...

Audio Rack Selection
Adona  Corporation makes effective and wallet friendly racks that also happen to look good. 
Cool running amplifier
Look at Odyssey Audio amps. The run cool with plenty of power. 
Nordost resolution, soundstage and clarity with Wireworld Bass Slam?
I would borrow some speaker cables from the Cable Company. Synergistic Research has some very good cables which I compared to Audience Front Row and Cardas Clear Beyond. Even though it was the most expensive, I ended up going with the Cardas as it...
