Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue?
I agree. Most modern gear today sounds awful. 😬 It looks ugly and is very expensive. Buy vintage if you can.  GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU DAMN KIDS!!!  
Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp?
I have a great phono stage (which you've probably never heard of)...yet it's out of the system in favor of what's in my Intergrated. Maybe not QUITE as good, but one less piece of clutter.  
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Tympanis.  
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
why do old audiophiles like such terrible music?  Ya mean why do MOST people like such terrible music This times 1,000.  
Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue?
I have 3 systems, all of which couldn’t be more different from the others. Yet I’ve never experienced fatigue.  
This sounds suspicious...
The last time I quoted PT, the post was removed by a mod.  
Audio stops pain
Nope.  
The new dynamic in speaker pricing
There's one born every minute.  
Your experience in "in their day" brands/components that you remember foundly?
Onkyo A 10. What a great amp it was.  
SACD players. Owner progress report
SACD is alive. "Well" is another story. The better format, HDCD, never really got off the ground, sadly.

I never had one, but 2 friends had Sherwood receivers back in the early/mid 70s. Blew most everything else away.  
Analog vs. digital
Digital is sooo superior!   Analog just sounds better.  
Red Rose Anyone?
I had an integrated made by the company in Japan that makes the Red Rose stuff. Best amp I ever had, perhaps until the last one I got.  
After the thrill is gone
I've tried cones several times and they just don't sound like music. Always go back to Maggies.  
Weird
I have T1s as well. Odd about the sound changing when you unplugged it if the sub wasn't working anyway.
