High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
An interesting experiment would be to take two DPDT switches like these And hook up two competing cables. With a simple throw of the switch one could easily A/B test cables. I wonder why this isn’t done by the cable sellers at audio shows. It wou... 
High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ?
I like my 12 gauge radio shack cables to be flexible so they drape from ceiling to the Maggies hung from it.  I think I have a few soldered splices in one of them because I didn't have a long enough length.  So they match the small room.   I mean... 
Does the streamer effect sound quality
I don't have high end streaming equipment but according to Paul who certainly does seems to think CDs sound better.      
Bass lovers - Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo
Yeah, great CD.  Amazing bass.  Unique sound they had.  Too bad it seems like it was a one time thing.  I have several Bela Fleck and related CDs but nothing sounds like that one.  
Does the streamer effect sound quality
But CDs sound better than any high end streamer right?  Assuming the same DAC.  
Does a record player make that much of a difference??
Cartridge is the most important.  Second is the phono pre. As long as the TT is not complete garbage it’s the least important. I don’t understand how one could argue otherwise. Unless one sells expensive TTs.

Tubes, tone, and old age.
And on a related note, what measurements - if there are any - show the difference in sound between SS and tubes? Could one see this on a frequency chart? I suspect that this is one of those areas where measurements tell us very little.

ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
Are you implying that I don't hear right?    ;) We all tend to take sides in everything.  It's the inherent tribalism of the human animal, and then we have our ego.  We think that we right because, well, we try to be.  As it should be.  The tough... 
Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades
@mijostyn About the streaming vs harddrive/CD quality.   From Paul McGowan of PS audio. He hears the same thing.     https://youtu.be/zeHxHaqtKOg  
Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades
boostedis asked "If the master was originally recorded digitally and later converted to analog, how could the analog version possibly sound better than the original recording?! " Well I’ve wondered a lot about this also and have done some resear...
