| Best speaker brands for transient response My opinion…. Magnepan, Diptyque, for ribbon driver speakers. Sound Labs, Quads, and Martin Logan electrostatic speakers. All extremely revealing and transients that have that “live” stage presence. But at the cost of needing powerful amplificatio... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. I haven’t spent a ton of money on DAC’s. So I know there’s really good ones above my price point.

| Why Do Cables Matter? People hear what they want to hear. If it exists in their head, it's real. To each their own. Cheers to those spending thousands on cables, and cheers to those who don't. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I’ve been a known cable skeptic for the last 30 + years as an audiophile. In 1995, I listened to the same system through a dealer with multiple price points of MIT cables. I could not hear a single difference at all. However, I bought MIT cables a... |
