Zavfino Majestic USB Cable
@sfcfran Dude...all I said was... Curious why you want to upgrade a USB cable? They either work, or they don't. Better aesthetics I can definitely understand, but there is no way a more expensive USB, ethernet, or HDMI cable can change the soun... 
Speakers cause weather changes
My speakers caused hurricane Ian, which is why they named it after me.  
Zavfino Majestic USB Cable
@davidvanderbilt They are listed in my virtual system in my profile. The only items not listed are the Nordost purple flare speaker cables which you can see in the pic. They have been "demoted" to connect my Yamaha AVR to the main speakers rather ... 
Zavfino Majestic USB Cable
Not really we just have more revealing systems and can hear the difference. Why do not you deniers just move on. You are not going to covert anyone no more than Amir did with his ASR rant and the only measurement matter. Scoot on over to Audiohol...

@1971gto455ho true that. Sounds like you have a nice muscle car?

Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation
There are 2 main issues that isolation devices may solve. #1 is external vibration to the component (e.g., footfalls causing a record to skip) If you have a solid floor and solid rack/stand, and footfalls are a non-issue, this should be easy to ... 
Turntable question; Does Audio Technica make any good turntables?
I would avoid Pro-Ject. I've owned an entry level Carbon Debut and a higher-end RPM 10 ($6K). The build quality just isn't good enough. I believe the lower-end Music Halls are made by Pro-Ject (feel free to correct me if I am mistaken) I cannot ... 
Looking for suggestions on HT Setup
I have an older LG OLED - love the picture, but had a screen issue (not burn in) 4.9 years in and was thankful I got a 5 year extended warranty - OLEDs are very susceptible to burn in - be careful. The C2-77 is on sale at LG.com for $2500 - great... 
Cartridge burn-in
I bought an Aidas Rainbow 3 months ago from @solypsa which sounded great on day one but now sounds truly magical. It seems like it has really opened up recently. Wild guess but maybe 100-150 hours play time. The Hana ML it replaced did not sound ... 
Any Near Audiophile Bluetooth Speaker?
I have a B&O Beosound A1 that is very impressive for its size but its over your budget new. I also have a "vintage" iPod HiFi (only made by Apple for 1 year) that sounds great but you’d need a BT transceiver as it was designed for the origina... 
Most underrated female recording artists..
Jennifer Warnes, Famous Blue Raincoat Shelby Lynne, Just a Little Lovin’ Both are stellar recordings. Great list we have here!  
First Streamer...
+8 for Bluesound Node. It's a no brainer at $600. App works with Android. I use the app on iPhone and it's great.   
Why does rock concert sound suck?
Saw Eric Church and Dave Matthew 2 nights apart this August outdoors in Lake Tahoe, same venue. Eric’s sound was excellent Dave’s was awful other than quieter passages Why?

Look at the Goldnote PS-10 + PSU-10. It will run any cart and won't break the bank; and you can adjust everything on the fly from a single control knob.
