Analog or Digital and why?
Okie dokie, this is only one comparison. DSOTM on SACD versus DSOTM on vinyl doesn't compare. Have a decent system to give each a fair shake. In non-technical lingo, analog just sounds more real. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@boxer12, I think I moved 7 times between college and now.  Put them away and always brought them with me.  Wasn't until I had a decent system up and running that did I think about them again.  Bought a basic Sony deck at a Goodwill and realized h...

Limited experience but when I have listened I have been wowed.  Thank you for reminding me that I need to make a stronger effort to pick up their recordings.

Got a bunch of my Dead bootlegs on those Sonys.  Awesome cassettes.  Well really not bootlegs but you get my point.  Tonight got on Tool "Aenima".  I am not a metal head but there is something about Tool.  Their rhythm is hypnotic even for how har... 
What have you been working on in 2020?
Spent most of the last 6 months working in the hospital.  The rest of the time I have been setting up room changes/treatments. Much better with room size change and new flooring installation.  Also spent a lot of time trying to understand how to o... 
Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?..
Has anyone heard these?  I would find opinions intriguing.  I moved my system from our main room which has polished concrete floors into another area where I put down an engineered product over the concrete with immediate improvement in sound qual...

On a limited selection right now due to various COVID related reasons but listening to a 2016 Sony release of Pink Floyd's Final Cut and it is just beautiful.  Blows away the CD.  Not even close.  Can't get enough of it at this moment in time. Thi... 
I think some cables are just a little too expensive.
Who cares!  65k speaker cables has nothing to do with 99.9% of the world. It doesn't matter what the 0.1% do with their money.  Probably even way less than that.  It has no bearing on what you or I purchase.  It has no effect on the prices of prod...

Came home from a long day at the big house. The Pink seemed appropriate. Going from most recent to earliest. Down to Atom Heart Mother right now. Starts at The Final Cut because that is where The Pink ceased to exist. 
8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
Guitarsam, I like how you roll. Job well done. I will never forget the nostalgia of being young and stupid while listening to my 8Ts in my Pacer. In retrospect, what a sweet appreciation for that time in my life.  No one could make the argument th... 
What do/did you do for a living?
50 yo hospital based physician which is growing very tiresome in the current environment. Be safe. 
My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions.
That is one pissed off cat 
Speaker upgrade around 100k retail
Really! Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids. Find someone else. 
The Room
I would also say the 2 subs, REL T-7is, are much easier to set in the smaller room than in the bigger room. Not sure if I just wasn't doing it right in the other room but they are completely different (better) in the smaller room.  A nice perk.
