How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
On 11/11, I started a thread here....." If a system cannot do this, I move on ".......I invite anyone here to read it, and comment. Enjoy !   
If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........
@mijostyn, some interesting thoughts on the subject, and agree on the musical choices. IME, live performances that are amplified can be exciting, as seeing a favorite band live is awesome, but a smaller venue without amplification is " dabomb ". I...

I just listened to " Romantic Warrior ", and the playing of these 4 ARTISTS is simply uncanny. NO, they are not in my room, as I know and am aware of, a recording is what I am listening to. 1st, the total lack of any noise, distortion, hiss, hum, ... 
Great experience with audio society and local tech
I am pretty certain the pots are TKD, not TDK, as I have used the brand in the past, which are excellent. Enjoy !

@jbhiller , thank you.....And, without being negative, or to pick on you too, my words concerning Tull, verbatim, " Recordings are poor, but the MUSIC is wonderful, exciting, a joy to listen to "...I am not sure why you misunderstood. *** Many of ...

LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps
The new AGD stereo amp is encased in a Single billet CNC-machined cabinet, which does cost a bit of $, but in my experience, benefits in SQ by lowering the electrical and mechanical noises to the amp's electronics by a considerable margin. As much... 
Hello from Hapa Audio: Breathe C Cable tour
HAPA, I am always interested in trying out some new cables. Very interesting to read about under and over damping of cables, and the design and use of " Angel Hair " Litz cables. My understanding is that most of the better designed cables use Litz... 
Cleaning house ~ Completely unclear on values if any
I like US Audio Mart 
Kind of Blue SACD on a whim.
n80, I thought you had the newer AR LS-16 pre..........Of course, Kind of Blue set a standard for musical writing, arrangements, band leadership and musicianship. Genius, in fact. Miles went through many " changes " during his career ( as many mus... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
I am guessing, I might be the oldest Klipsch Heritage ( both in age and product familiarity ) follower, guru, user / owner, modifier, tweaker, out of all who is posting here ( even Mahlman ). I do believe to a large extent, the speaker needs to be... 
Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ?
This topic, like many, has been spoken about, ad nauseam. But the truth is, having a preamp simply depends on 1 thing......  do you need the added gain, which is system dependent. I have not heard ( in my system ) a preamp at the 10K and above pri... 
EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!!
What I find interesting here ( as with many other threads as well ), are some folks showing their ignorance to the fact that power cables DO, in fact, sound different from one another, and require system matching to be at their best. The more " in...
