Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
It has to do with the long hair covering the ears. It's not good for appreciating good sound.   
Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?
Not for a single second that I'd buy your bs. The last part about Elon Musk's money. If you had Elon Musk money, you'd buy the bestest and most expensive piece of gear without a second thought.   So yes, you are "crazy for saying that". And the ... 
Don't sell your tube amps
I love the sound of tubes, I do. I adore it. But tubes gotta go for some very important reasons. Who knows how long the NOS supply is going to last and who can afford it.   
New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers !
More like $6,955. Which is more like $7,000. If it goes on sale I'll consider.   
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
@sgreg1  Upon reading what you wrote, a light bulb lit up in my head. Also quite directly related to the core question of this thread.  My hypothesis, we who are passionate about this audio hobby like the incremental progress. 5% improvements, a... 
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
If we just stop the labels and the politically-correct behavior that is the trend these days. You will simply see a few undeniable facts. 1) Almost everyone listens to music 2) There seems to be close to a 1:1 of men and women involved in the mu...

A strange “snap“ or “popping” sound keeps interrupting our music
I had popping noise immediately when I had my new DAC. All things being the same, one would assume it was the dac's fault. But I switched to a better USB cable and the popping noise was gone.  For clarification, the popping noise with the usb cab... 
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?

Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
Power cables do not make a differrence.   Until you plug it in and turn on your components =D  
Interesting Power Cable Experience
@dill I've done it too. At one point I only had 1 power cable. The issue was it sounded much better on the DAC than it was on the amp. So there were occasions where I purposely left said upgraded cable on the amp with the intention of forgetting a... 
Goodbye Everyone
@elliottbnewcombjr I've started selling/buying locally via USAM and the experience has been all positive. Had a nice gentleman over listening to my system and the tube amp that I was selling to him. We listened for an hour even though the room was... 
Interesting Power Cable Experience
@dill I am quite glad I started experimenting with power cables. Quite easily the cheapest improvement to the system I've ever had. On par with a center rug.
