How important is the rack you use for your components
prof,It is science, not sorcery, despite what you may think, and if you used a good rack, you would hear the difference as well; assuming that your ears are in good working order.  
What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year?
I got NOS tubes for my Lamm LL2 Deluxe pre. Sounds better than ever. 
What are your favorite upright 4-5 shelve audio rack recommendations?
I've used Adona for 9 years and like its looks and performance.

If he's listing multiple times then he's paying multiple times. if it doesn't bother him, I guess that's all that counts. 
Amps will not hold bias.
Almarg, where are you? Help needed here. 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
kost_amojan,You are deliberately provocative and needlessly argumentative. Not one post has claimed that horn loudspeakers are inherently perfect. It looks like you are trolling.

+1 dev. Especially ine poster claiming that horn speakers are one the decline because Klipsch discontinued the Palladium line. Nonsense. 
Most overrated bands

Some audiophiles would do well to stop talking about horn speakers, and start listening to them. They may be surprised. 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
exron,It's really interesting for me to see another listener whose journey has been similar to my own. I've been through many fine speakers; ProAc response 1s, which were known for their precise imaging, and Spendor SP100s which were known for the... 
Best way to decrease the internal volume of a sealed speaker?
Black hole is very effective. I use it in my Klipsch Epics and the improvement was very noticeable. Glad to hear about the GR Research No Rez. I will look into it.  
Best way to decrease the internal volume of a sealed speaker?
How about using some Black Hole? It's pretty thick, so you may not have to use it on all surfaces, and it's very beneficial in controlling resonance anyway.

"I'm not sure 130 dB of dynamic range reflects reality very often. I don't believe that should be the goal of an audio system at the cost of other virtues."That's true, but some horn systems have high dynamic range as well as those other virtues.
