Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
OP  More speakers & electronics etc is just more, not necessarily better. Yep, more speakers also means more ways to screw it up, but you can screw up a stereo too.  All speakers and audio systems in the world sound veiled and bright that... 
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
OP   100% of music listeners prefer live music to recorded playback, Agree. The live/original music is always better than the reproduced audio music. OP    100% of music listeners prefer live music to recorded playback, why? A live performanc... 
Power cable

In search for speakers of "natural" sound
The natural sound? In a live band cafe, we hear and comprehend people's voices and band music at the same time. However, in reproduction audio, we can’t comprehend the audio music and friends’ voice at the same time because all reproduction audio ... 
dacs that I have had in my system - a listing
OP  You could make a DAC review channel with short videos. Many people don't need to buy a new DAC every 6 months and just watch your videos.  Alex/Wavetouch  
Crossing Left and Right Speakers
Generally, direct sounds from LR speakers don’t reach to a listener due to angled woofer cones. More toe-in can result less direct sounds. To hear more direct sounds, move ears(head) closer (5~7ft) to speakers. Alex/Wavetouch  
journey,destination,endpoint?
OP, is there an endpoint? Are you having more fun in the process or have you reached your sonic "enlightenment'? If you have "arrived" then how? To be at the endpoint, you need to know what is an endpoint. Does anyone know what the endpoint so...
