Do All Input Channel Need Equal Break-In?
Great question @analogj.   
GO CHIEFS !!
As a long time Chiefs fan, I am disappointed with yesterday’s outcome.  Are the Bengals the better team?? They were yesterday, and they are going to the “show”. The Chiefs need to shore up their defense.   I will however be cheering for Cincy.   
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
Most ads are filled with….well we all know what they are filled with.  I use NPS 1260,and I also have found sonic improvements.   
Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice
6’x9’ room? If you are looking considering Wharfedales, the Dentons are the ones you should put ears on. The Lintons would probably be way too big for that room. The Dentons would also come in under budget. My brother found a lightly used pair of ... 
the cart or the horse?
I agree with @charles1dad. The Omegas are the jewel in your system.  Tubes or perhaps SS class A would probably work great.       I used the internal DAC on the Bluesound for a while. It was adequate,but a decent external DAC will most definitely... 
Audio envy - dang!
The used Prestige interconnect cables arrived today. I’m running them thru some familiar music. So far I’m not disappointed.  They have replaced Analysis Plus Oval ones. Soundstage width is pretty consistent with the AP’s. There seems to be a bit ... 
Change it or Defend it, where is your stereo at?
I have two systems I’m pretty happy with. Is there room for improvement? There’s always room for improvement. The question is,how far are you willing to chase improvements?  Tomorrow is a new day.

I’ve read a lot of ads stating no pc included. Usually followed by,I can include some basic pc’s if needed.  Were the amps pictured with cables? If not,you probably should have asked about them.  I know that’s a bummer. When I started this journey...

Totem vs Spector
In the past,I’ve owned Totem Dreamcatchers,and Spendor s3/5.  I don’t listen to classical, so I can’t give you that comparison. What I can say is the Totems were capable of more dynamics,but the Spendors were definitely smoother and more natural. ... 
Buyer Dispute
@kirbymydog, I truly envy your calm,cool,level head.    
Buyer Dispute
After reading all of this thread again, the gloves must come off. You have been gracious and honorable. 6 months is too long. Let the seller know you are filling with PP. Make sure you show PP all correspondence with the seller. Tell him times up.    
Buyer Dispute
How about asking the seller to agree to paying to have these speakers brought in to a local tech to check under the hood while waiting for replacement tweeters? Have him pick the tech. This way you’ll be certain the new tweets don’t blow when you ...
