Referent point
MC (or Steve or whoever he is on some of these posts) has to justify a bad purchase, why else would anybody increasingly shrill with unscientific rhetoric about his purchases 
Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee?
Why would an audio dealer be any different than a car dealer? An apple store? Going thru open homes before buying a new home? Would you pay to do these things? An apple store, you are actually playing/using the device. A car dealer, you are actual... 
Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy
This ocd guy is amusing at best. He bashes well known top quality components but assures everyone that what he has is the best. For example, the new dac he is promoting has a Bluetooth antenna and he claims this is groundbreaking technology, which... 
My Experience With Tekton
For the posters who are asking where the OP is and why he hasn’t responded? He has multiple times, MC just forgot to login as Steve 
Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different
Why would I want to listen to somebody else for something I can listen and hear for myself so I can make a decision on a cable I like better? I wouldn’t, and I don’t.As for measurements for cables, what a waste of time. Do you go to a Porsche deal... 
My Experience With Tekton
Nwatsme- this is the 1st review of Tekton that  seems believable IMO. You compared the $3000+ tektons (actually higher because you had upgrades) against a pair of smaller $600 DIY speakers and you liked your DIY $600 speakers better. So refreshing... 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
Avitacom - you must be from the ANA site that has a strict limit of $50 for a cable. Let me ask you this: you want all of this scientific evidence for cables but it looks like you are using something better than zip cord and the .05 cent cable tha... 
My Experience With Tekton
fsonicsmith-exactly, only 1 person writes like this.willgolf - but I read on multiple threads here that they blow away the hundreds of thousands of $$$ Magico and Wilson speakers. 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
Sounds like you have visited the ANA site. Those wannabe audiophiles don't have the ears/the budget/the system to compare cables so they always state a cable over $50 is snake oil. They try to prove their point bringing in so called NASA experts/P... 
A Surreal Dream full of Audio Knowledge!
How many myths can you put in 1 thread?I lost count in this 1. Also, it’s been proven a dozen years ago music played back from a hdd sounds better than from a cd.Dedicated streamers are not better than  mac/pi, it boils down to the software readin... 
and 30 min later....
I had collected many lps during the past 50 years, some really good sounding some really bad sounding. I sold all my analog gear and lps without looking back years ago 
How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11?
I used a cypher labs 720 dac with my iPhone and it sounded very good. I also used it between my Mac and desktop speakers 
Porsche
We don’t listen to MC when he tries to talk about audio, you think we would listen to him about Porsche’s? The 911 variations are very nice, but I actually prefer the Cayman GT4 or the older Carrera GT, probably be getting a new GT4 before year end 
Helping a friend build a new system
Rogue Cronus magnum with kt250 tubes, totem model 1’s or the totem hawks. Other speakers can be revel m20/m22, usher mini-x. The model 1’s and the revel speakers will probably need a small subwoofer like a Rel T series 
When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill?
I’m still waiting for you to start. I don’t understand: you are the cheapest guy in audio by buying really low but claiming they are the best. So I’m assuming you purchased a used gremlin and taking it out on a Porsche track day but thinking you a...
