Why does FM radio sound so good?
A lot has to do with the fact that most of us grew up on/with the sound of FM and it gives us the warm and fuzzies, provoking lots of positive feelings that lie deep down within us. Nostalgia, if you wish, and it’s a good thing. All the best, Non... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
Why on earth would I look up an interview on YouTube with a guy who is NOT Sean Olive or Floyd Toole when I can go straight to the source? Paul Barton is of that source. Toole has worked with him from those early days and by now, should be back... 
Peformance at price point for speakers manufactured in China?
There’s also the lower pollution standards to consider when offshoring to China. Very lax laws allow toxic wastes to just be dumped wherever convenient. One can’t do that here. Chinese workers are exposed to all manner of toxins that wouldn’t be a... 
New TV With an Unknown Audio Out Jack?
It looks like a Toslink.   
How good is good enough?
I'm satisfied with my system and can't fathom seeing myself drop 6 figures on anything audio.   
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
Then you have people like Floyd Toole and Sean Olive who strictly evaluated sound quality in their research using proper time synchronized quick switching double blind tests but are subjectivists. All of their studies were based on listener prefe... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
I think the difference is most people don’t want their beliefs to be challenged even if they are wrong. As I have said before, if the basic cables I use actually are not audibly transparent I really do want to know. But it’s going to take verifia...

But even more so than that I am an advocate of time synchronized quick switching comparisons. Both are vital for getting reliable results. How other audiophiles choose to do their comparisons is on them. By the sound of your statement, it looks...

I saw and enjoyed that video of John's. Far from what he called a rant. More like a call to reason. All the best, Nonoise

If you feel insulted when faced with objective reality that’s your baggage. What is laughable is that you would whine about being insulted while calling me delusional in the same post. I don’t really care but the irony is amusing.  Again, what'...

It almost sounds like you’re living with absolute certainty that we can’t trust any of our senses. How did we ever survive before measurements? Your retorts are littered with appeals to authority and red herrings that have nothing to do with audi...

And there is nothing uncivil about informing audiophiles about these realities. It’s actually very useful information. The analogies he (scotty) comes up are always good for a laugh. He thinks himself clever by insulting members by way of insin... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
 
Why isn't better quality used gear being made available?
Maybe it's a good thing that all this quality gear I'm looking for doesn't want to be sold . Asked and answered, your honor.    
Cable supports on the cheap...
