Tidal Nils Lofgren Acoustic Live. The sound quality on that stream is exceptional.  
Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make?
Gemoody I did the same. Works great. Which DAC hat did you use. I used the Hifiberry.

Listening to Nils Lofgren Acoustic Live again through Tidal. The sound of his guitar through my Vincent integrated and Klipsch is goosebump capable. Damn it sounds cool.    
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
I am hesitant to respond here as these tribal tennis matches have no solution. I would suggest to nonoise, I cannot determine if he is feigning naivety or being disingenuous in the assertion that "if one is really intent on getting out their messa... 
Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2
I have 2CES, 2CE Sigs, and 3As. I prefer the 3As but between the 2s I don’t find an enormous difference.

Ghdprentice not looking to start a war of words but I am curious if all the “smart Americans” share all your exact view on things?   
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
Possibly I am naive; I recall equipment that was out of my range from the time I was making minimum wage to now being a 1 percenter. In virtually every product there is segmentation. Maybe the difference is the mass marketers exited high end. But ... 
Acoustic treatment and acoustic mechanical control over gear upgrade for improvement
Thank you for the thoughtful response. Unfortunately today I don’t have the ability to dedicate a great deal of time to optimization of the room- but certainly appreciate the need to do so. Simple moves of equipment have yielded astounding results... 
Acoustic treatment and acoustic mechanical control over gear upgrade for improvement
Mahgister, curious about the amount of time you have invested in solving these many room issues. I am not discounting your effort only curious if there exists some quick and easy steps. Thanks in advance. g
