objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
I am somewhat different from most who post here as I import and wholesale gear to professional engineers who record for a living. Measurements play a role in confirming what you think you hear or pointing out what you didn't hear.  Most who’ve be... 
Why Do You Post?
I have made many mistakes, made poor purchases, wasted money; you know, the well trodden path of the audiofool.    We make all of us mistake buying gear... I made many... Happily it is over... My best to you....  
Jazz for aficionados
Thanks very much , the two of you, for Lonnie Smith and and Baby Face Willette..   I know none of them... And i love Hammond organ, i never know why i love it so much? But love had no reason...  
Moon AKA Simaudio announces new line of speakers.
Thanks for explaining. I would think adding two subwoofers would allow the bookshelf speakers to play down lower. I am sure that the Sim will need 2 subs well controlled yes and they will be great... My speaker woofer has 2 more centimeter of ... 
Moon AKA Simaudio announces new line of speakers.
I do not know why people buy bookshelf speakers when tower speakers play down lower. However, I firmly believe adding a pair of REL subwoofers is the key to extending the bass seamlessly. Their high-level connection technology is revolutionary. ... 
Better sound on rainy days?
I remember listening to it in my school basement, when walking down the stairs to the coffee room... Asking what is this? I was 15 years old studying latin and Greek...  😁😊 And my bad english to this day was learned badly by me  from this very goo...

Would you elaborate a little more? I am curious...Hemp can be use i guess in some acoustic panel... Why not? Thanks.... Or is it the usual joke? 😁😊 In my room I have used only organic material (hemp) for acoustic treatement.

Good point! My best to you....   @mahgister / etal With your car performance analogy, I suggest the air, or the O2, density is providing the largest influence. Hence the reason why some car engines are fitted with inlet manifold intercoolers.... 
You know you have audiophile system when...
Do you ever think that most of it, the adjectives you used to describe your system are nothing more than a concerted effort on your part to hear those things, aspects of sound in a wishful thinking sort of way?   It is true if someone have no ...

you’re a lost cause :-) But the " lost cause" indeed  appreciate you very much for your wit....

Interesting story and beautiful car of this era...I am a bit jealous because i bought my first car at 25 years old to see the woman i will marry...I always wanted a car but cycling cost me less and i needed books... At 20 i owned 2,500 books eval...

@mahgister your condescending wording followed by a apologetic approach happens all to often. My post happened to be a quirky attempt at humor but you missed the mark. The key words on my toggle switch "trivial pursuit." A trivial pursuit is som... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
This divide between O and S comes from the focus on electronic tools and components... They together ignore the psycho-acoustic and acoustic impact which is way over some "taste" for gear or over some "measurements" evaluation of the same gear...... 
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
I own this dac...Starting point system dac with internal battey for low noise and TDA 1543...I connected it to a linear supply...Minimal design ... Quality/ price ratio over the roof... With luck you will discover one at 100 bucks... i am even ...
