Anyone else treated poorly by AVA?
Unacceptable. If I treated my clients this way I’d be homeless. Get your money back and move on.  
What makes speaker's sound big?
Sildenafil cable co.. takes about 40 min but then the soundstage really increases. Look em up 
Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
He’s probably legit but I would pass. Btw, there’s lots of fake cashiers checks as well. The kicker is that it takes 10 days for you to find out. If you ever receive a cashiers check for anything, wait 10 business days before shipping merch.  
Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60
Coda needs a big volume knob. I hate push button volume controls.  
How does Donald Fagen do it?
Hate steely and his nasaly, annoying voice. I wish Dan would sing. Dan always takes the back seat to Steely. Poor feller.  
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Gene Clark/ white lightgary Wright/ shaved beaver oh I meant dream weaver  
Need speaker advice
Agree with ^^^^^^^^^. Pure audio project. I’m looking into them myself.  
Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ?
I’m an original ksa 100 krell owner. I love his amps and his design. Design is very important. I’d love to afford his new stuff. Steampunk at its finest. Sound is sublime and they are beyond spectacular looking. There’s plenty of other manufacture... 
Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy
He sells Rowland so if course he praises him. He also sells some extremely high dollar streamers( rockna). Bet he didn’t bash them. If there’s 5k in parts l, I’d consider 20k a deal for retail cost.  
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so
Luxman, accuphase, pass. I hear great things about coda but I would never buy an integrated without a rotary knob for volume. Up/down push buttons a deal breaker for me.  
The Weekend
It was unwatchable. Happy for the outcome though. Took Brady and the points. Chumps  
Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System
20k will get you around 80% of that 350k system. It’s that last 20% that costs a ton. It might even get you 90% there is you have great synergy with your components. Take your time, do your research and buy used. You will have a very enjoyable aud... 
Best upgrade for cd player?
A vpi classic w/ a nice mc cart should do it.  
Vexing Problem
I unplug my ic’s and then reconnect. I find my usb dac to computer can be at fault. I don’t know why but it happens once in a blue moon. It can seem muddy and bright at the same time. Highly distorted. I unplug, exit tidal, replug, start tidal aga... 
Dedicated power
2 dedicated 20 amp lines with 2 breakers directly to audio equipment in their own conduit. Add an audioquest Edison nrg duplex receptacle and you are golden. We use conduit hard pipe (emt) in Chicago. I make sure the only wires in the pipe are for...
