How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts?
All excellent and very much appreciated advise. I have much homework and reading to do! I love the pillow and chair idea, when the wife leaves the room, now that's thinking outside the box! Thanks Bob.

In answer to how I play my digital music, it is usually through J. River via USB to the Teac UD-501, or from my Fiio M11 via coax to the Teac.Files are flac generally 96-24 or 192-24 PCM or 512 DSD. I will have a look at some of the other options ...

A Newcomer to Digital Looking to Upgrade My Dac, Tubes? Ideas?
I found a used Lampizator for $3,000.00, but I don't think you can play DSD on it. I think I want that option, and besides it's a lot over budget. The search continues! Thanks for the Schiit tone control idea, I use a Schiit Lokuis from time to ti...

Thanks for your comments. As some additional insight into buying the Schiit Mjolnir 2 last year, it was a toss up between the Freya+ and the Mjolnir, I wanted a tube preamp, but I also wanted a balanced (4pin) headphone connection. The Freya+ offe... 
Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover
I have a set of crossovers that I recently parted out of my Tangent TM1's, I am unsure if these are the same as the RS4's. I also have a pair of RS4's. Any comment on the difference, I know they use different drivers and are likely different.
