Frail and Bedazzled
Red-pilled. Welcome to reality. And its just initial setup. Wait till its tweaked and dialed in. Nothing else will come even close. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! 
AV interconnects for HiFi audio use?
They will probably serve to provide electrical continuity, and maybe even something somewhat recognizable will come out the other end.  
What improvement came first?
Its true. Like the other day we were all at Mike Lavigne's. Best room acoustics I have ever heard, by far. For a while there I thought it was his fine system. But then we got a call on speakerphone and dang if that wasn't the finest audio I ever h...

26 minutes. That's got to be some kind of record. 
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
mofojo I think speaks for us all.Meanwhile, on a more edifying note, listening99, on his Moabs:Sonically, I can sit in amazement over good recordings, just constantly drawn into the subtlety, surprised by the percussive realism, intrigued by the s... 
Running a preamp into another preamp
Normally I'd say you need a mixer. But the Sony it seems is the mixer. So okay. Rock on! 
Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps?
Am I right that the hybrid should have the warmth of the tube amps and the bass of SS? So, the best of both worlds? Its a little more complicated than that. The finest tube amps have excellent bass, better than a lot of SS to my ears. Better power... 
Do speakers choose your music preference
Was about to write no, speakers haven't driven it. Yes Moabs make classical sound so doggone good you just can't get enough of it. But they do that for rock too. And jazz. So was going to say they don't drive it, not like I go out shopping for mus... 
Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!)
Nobody will recommend it, there is an unspoken rule to never mention the standout solution, even when - "smooth silky midrange and top end, sweet and detailed delivery of delicate sounds, like vocals and piano, After that, I want a big, authoritat... 
What improvement came first?
So in my thinking, speakers advanced ahead of amps.  It was only once speakers became good enough, that the more subtle differences could be heard. But is that correct? What improves came before other ones? Did tone arms need to improve ahead of m... 
Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
Tried to make it through that article. Really I did. But its just too poorly written. Basically keeps repeating the same stuff over and over again wordier and wordier. Tried skipping ahead, same old.Fact of the matter, it seems to me, no one reall... 
Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp?
The acceptable phrase is silk purse out of a sows ear. Either way its bollocks. A better preamp will be a better preamp and an improvement regardless. Speaker amp problems are speaker problems. Trying to solve the problem of a hard to drive speake... 
Adding a subwoofer into my system
Usually its the most senior/respected party first, so in this case it would be, "Mr System, this is Mr Warfdale" etc.Or you could just connect Mr Warfdale to some wires and plug him in. Either way it is going to take some serious schmoozing for hi... 
Acoustics and reverberation time
scottdog, there is a time window of about 3 to 5 ms in which reflections will interfere with our sense of locating the original sound source. That's why getting speakers several feet out into the room and away from walls helps so much. Sound trave... 
Can speakers cause mental illness?
Worth it to read MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK WITH INThe space.  Slays me.
