How can I tell if I need a better clock for my DAC?
Get an asynchronous DAC! See kijanki's post from 2-18-2018! Problem solved! 
Can you help me in my search for my first turntable?
Get a restored Garrard 301 with a custom plinth and a Fidelity Research FR64S tonearm! Add a Miyajima Shilabe mc cartridge and you will have a world-class TT system! 
Most overrated bands
How about Taylor Swift? She's made enough money to buy 60 million dollars of Manhattan real estate! But musicality? 
I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible
Runner-up goes to the Elrod $18,000 PC!

The Rolling Stones have done nothing worthwhile since Some Girls (1977)! Or if you disagree, nothing worth listening to since Exile (1971).

My favorite is the Teleportation Tweak by a certain G.Kait!

How about that Nordost Odin 2 speaker cable? A 3 meter pair for a mere $23,000! Marked down from list of $46,000! No doubt that somebody somewhere will buy it! 
Nad M3 non repairable
Shame and a Pox on NAD! I am presently listening to my 1977 Son of Ampzilla! Still in daily use and sounding mighty fine on the DCM Time Windows! 
What is your listening chair?
A replica of the Sing Sing electric chair "Old Sparky"! 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Thomas Edison would have had a good laugh at the remarks of the "golden ears" crowd - AND HE WAS DEAF! 
Best DIY power cable. Why not make?
I am waiting for some Vibranium wire from Wakanda! 
Anyone have a schematic for a PS Audio IVH preamp?
A great preamp (and well worth fixing)! I have two - but am missing the outboard power supplies, alas ... 
Jeff Rowland model two sounding thin With Mini Utopia
What you are hearing with the Rowland connected to the Mini's is the REAL sound! And if you don't like it, sell them and get something else! But keep the Rowland (great amp!). 
Jeff Rowland model two sounding thin With Mini Utopia
The Rowland is, by far, the BETTER amp!   Tube amps with their high output impedances act as "tone controls" and are NOT accurate (contrary to what the "golden ears" crowd says!). So burn me at the Stake for heresy! And I am a tube amp owner for 4... 
Jeff Rowland model two sounding thin With Mini Utopia
The BAT VK60 has an output impedance over 1 ohm (or higher!). So it will act as a tone control when following ANY speaker's impedance curve! OHM's LAW!  The Rowland amp has an output impedance BELOW 1 ohm - so it will have a FLAT (neutral) respons...
