Review: Cary SLP-05 vs SLP-98
i mean if you remain convinced about far superiority of slp05 over slp98. do you still keep 05, did you ever audition SLI 80 integrated?

Wired4Sound STP 2 preamplifier vs Coda X7 preamplifier
Of course these speakers will sound much better in a bigger space. I'm glad you were able to arrange them and I hope that you both will last for a very long time. In fact, I had to do a similar job with my CS6s which I also bought used.  I was  lu...

Critical listening and altered states
PS Music You like "substitute" drugs and alcohol, doesn't it?  
Critical listening and altered states

Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25
I agree, Pass Labs equipment delivers beautiful sweet chocolate sound. But this is not precisely natural poor chocolate flavor. Most people like artificially flavored sweet chocolate. I don't - i prefer a natural chocolate flavor. 
HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.
Audio shops are closed now keep some drink for Monday

Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
Thanks @lowrider.. for letting me know the credits of @atmasphere . I had a quick look at the site, it made a solid and convincing impression on me. I wish him all the best in his art of design perfect tube amplification. 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
Thanks @ghasley  for letting me know about the business of @atmasphere - sincerely i didn't have that info and don't see from where i could have it. Hence, the question  required an answer (for me i mean). And thanks @atmasphere  for your kind res...
