Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@mojo771 I prefer Tidal as well primarily because of the music genre. I have listened to Tidal and Qobuz back to back on music I like I preferred Tidal. There are several folks I know who prefer Qobuz for music quality - my take away is go with w... 
Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice
@killingforcompany I encourage you to listen as many brands of speakers as you can. I like a variety of music and Black Sabbath's War Pigs is a song I often use for auditioning speakers because it includes simple dynamic shifts and has areas with... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
It’s a question I often think about and if it’s really different or if it’s easier to notice in the Information Age.    I don’t know the answer and I do know being nice is a luxury we can all afford. Especially if we can afford to look at online ... 
Wilson Sasha DAW vs. Sabrina X
Wilson is a quality speaker manufacturer and has a house sound. I expect there to be a difference - I can’t say if it would be worth the money. And I’d be willing to listen and find out.

Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Mike, here's what I would do if I started over in my space with all I learned over the last few years and knowing the impact it had in my room (and in my opinion that's a huge variable for your new space) Turntable - I have a Rega P8 at the $100k... 
Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Good luck on your journey. I would enjoy the process - you earned it.  I'm fortunate enough to have a dealer I trust to work with and it allows me the opportunity for home auditions and even occasional opportunities at demos. There's a few upgra... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
I heard a difference with Shunyata Venom 10 NR - I acquired it for $350 as a demo.  I was 'lent' it to see if I noticed and appreciated the difference - it did and for me it was worth the price.  
help choosing a turn table
@rbgator94 my first thought is...do you have a trusted audio dealer? My rationale is they may have a great used opportunity and possibly one you can audition. If new is your goal, I really appreciate the combination of simplistic solution and st... 
Match for McIntosh 352
I've owned a set of Sonetto V's driven by C2600 and MC 302 - > wonderful speaker.  Obviously opinions vary and I think the Sonetto V is a great speaker.  
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
If you are willing to explore used - I'd consider Moon 390 and 330A.... It's a preamp with streaming DAC and phono stage and an amp.     
Ultrasonic cleaning
I have an  audio desk and use their solution-good results from my perspective.   
PS audio or Moon
I’m a huge Moon fan….  Great product and value.  If you live a Moon dealer you can also try to obtain a factory refurbished one from folks who trade up. Likely 75% of MSRP   
Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse?
Worse is a judgment and in the ears of the beholder.    Different may happen and the difference is based on the ‘system’.    Cables are upgrades I experimented later in my journey and it had an impact I liked. And I started with speaker cables, ...
