Dealers Who Refuse to Honor Their Published Web Prices
I never really liked Audio Advice, plus I try to support local dealers.  
Digital Room Correction: Where in the chain?
I only use DSP with subwoofers.   My main system has a sub with DSP and room correction and my second system has a Velodyne sms1 sub controller/eq.      Works well for me.    
Time for some housekeeping: Best contact cleaner?
I also use MG Electrosolve.   Good stuff.   
Help replacing the cartridge and head case on a Garrard Lab 80
They are pretty scarce, check eBay.    
Wasted Years.
Setting up a really well matched second system has made me enjoy music more than ever.   I feel no need to upgrade like in the past.  It gives me 80% of my main system and at the same time let's me appreciate my main system even more.  I just set ... 
Whats playing on your system today?

I’m lost. Help me find my way
Enjoy  
I stream 24/7. Do you?
I put off streaming way too long.  I picked up a Vault 2i in 2019 and it completely changed the way I listen to music.  That Vault is now in my second system ,  the main system has an Aurender N200 I've never discovered so much great music in suc... 
Adventures With Subwoofers
My second system uses a pair of Studio Electric M4 , a sealed acoustic suspension speaker that has great bass.   I'm also using a sealed acoustic suspension REL sub.    I think this combination is the best sounding  Monitor/ Sub combo I've ever ha... 
Adventures With Subwoofers
For years I have put my Subs on an Aurelex Sub Dude isolation platform.   Cheapest way to eliminate boomy bass.   That and a low X over that does not excite room modes.      
Sound Performance Lab
SPL gear is high quality.   Made in Germany.   I demo'd their Phonitor headphone amp when i was looking at different headphones and it was excellent .  
Single driver full range speakers
I tried a single driver speaker and while it sounded great at lower volumes it just didn't do it for me after a while.   I admit I fell in love with their presentation of vocals and imaging,   they struggled with rock at even modest listening leve... 
What speakers compete with GR Research?
I have Sudio Electric M4.   I love these speakers, exactly what I was looking for in my second system. So good I find myself listening to them 80% of the time.   Awesome speaker.     
Aurender
I agree that streaming can be a mixed bag and for the most part I don’t even think about bit depth or sample rate when streaming because it sounds so good through the Aurender and my DAC that I’m at a point where I can listen to music and not obse... 
To Banana or to BFA?
Not a fan of either.   My Cyrus amp uses BFA and I had one pull out.  I powered up the other night and had no right channel.  I pulled the cover off and checked the fuses no board, they were fine.    Fortunately after a few minutes of being unplu...
