Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'
It’s pretty cool that DSOTM continues to sell and at least 3 generations of a given family might share a common appreciation for it.    
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta

Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined?
If you want to build a top notch system cost effectively, the old school niche audiophile magazines can be ignored totally these days. The winning products for both sound and value get a lot of coverage in other places. Stereophile does at least ...

What is your experience with the Spin Clean?
Thanks @jjbeason14 I’ll probably hold on to the spin clean as a backup if ever needed. I did add just a few drops of the cleaning solution that came with the spin clean to the hguru water. Didn’t try without it yet. I’m sure there are many record ...

What is your experience with the Spin Clean?
Just got a HumminGuru. Will try it out this weekend. Been using a Spin Clean. Hoping the Guru will be faster and easier for one record at a time as needed.

Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality....
Good sound is in the ear of the listener. Everybody has an opinion. Each recipe is what makes each audiophile special. So many recipes out there. Take your pick!  Which are special to you?  
GLOW AMP
No but I heard the Amp 1 running small good quality monitors at a show a few years back and was impressed with the whole package:  sound, looks and value.  
KEF's meta material gimmick?
I have both original and newer meta ls50s. Like them or not, the metas are the real deal as advertised. No BS. Plenty of that elsewhere. I love that! Size is their only limitation. Other newer meta models solve that problem as well but for additio...
