@sleepwalker65,I asked you a simple question on why you created this thread, and you got it removed by the moderator.I know, for some questions, there are no answers or the answers could embarrass oneself. But getting it removed actually proved my...

Do we really need another thread like this? @dill,Yes, because of our big egos! 
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
OP has the Devlialet, which is not Class A or AB.I am wondering how would the Yeti drive a amp from Parasound, Classe, Pass, etc. 
CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl
Apples to Oranges.Put on a recording that has been mastered correctly and everything is fine.Get off the Vs thread and save this hobby.Audio lovers/Audiophiles got absolutely crushed by the mp3 folks!!! 
What preamp creates the largest soundstage?
I have recently upgraded to the Rhumba 1.3 standard version. The change in my average sensitive system is profound. I am amazed at the life-like presentation that this preamp brought to my system. I highly recommend this preamp. 
How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp?
@aberyclark,Those new Gold Lion 12AU7 sound amazing. Replaced some new Mullards with GLs and am very happy with what I am hearing, especially the vocals and strings. 
Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?
@gregb63- If you are seeking employment, perhaps you could work in Tekton's Customer Relations Department. You seem a perfect fit for the company! @thecarpathian,That was really funny!!!:-) 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
@yyzsantabarbara,The TADs that you are considering are fantastic. I had heard them at AXPONA 2017. They were playing Maria Mena's "I Was Made For Loving You" and it was so musical. Amazing sound and musicality. Go for it if you can - it will suit ... 
Any modern SACD players with displays that show more than basic information?
If you can wait for a few weeks, this player is coming out:https://www.technics.com/us/news/20190107-sl-g700/ 
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind...
@b_limo,You have not lost your mind. Couple of years back you and I exchanged emails on Signal cables vs Clear Day. I like the Clear Day in my system. If you are more than happy with the Analysis cables, then it's time to sell the rest and move on... 
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
@bo1972,What kind of trail does Tru-Fi leave behind? Is it by error? Just curious. 
Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
Midrange on the ProAcs with their Ribbon Tweeters is magical. 
Wet carpet under system
@rvpiano,Walking on a wet carpet with cables lying around is a concern. More than that, it is the moisture that would get your equipment. Is there a way to take out that moisture quickly?But this is my concern. Wondering what others think about yo... 
Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9
Pete,Since you are going to demo the D9, I suggest that you do that and rely on your own experience. I have the ProAcD48R myself and love every bit of it. The D9s are probably good too, but I did not listen to them. I listened to the D7s and liked... 
The awakening...
The thought that came to my mind was - what if the OP's $30k system was not really that good? Just because something costs $$$ does not mean it is good. Not that the components were bad - just the combination (maybe?). The reason that I had this t...
