Dust Off compressed air to get dust off of vinyl records
Another issue to be aware with when using compressed air is that you don't want the force of the compressed air to embed particles into the vinyl.  If you use compressed air, make sure you are hitting the record at an angle so the air is blowing t...

What speakers were you using previously in this same system where this did not occur, and what equipment are you currently using? 
My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers...
@wim1983 If you have a bad recording, the Omegas will definitely tell you that you do.  Something like a Harbeth P3ESR (which I used to own) will do a much better job with less than stellar recordings. 
My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers...
Although I'm a big fan of Omegas, I'd be cautious about recommending them to someone who likes the warm laid back sound of the Dentons.  The Omegas are on the opposite side of the spectrum. 
Help me choosing an Integrated Amp
@mapman He knows because he listens to youtube equipment videos. 
Anyone has a sound like that ? Impressive.
So if you played the same track on your system directly, does it sound worse than playing it through the you tube system? 
Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo
The last person I'd ask to describe the sound of a product is the manufacturer.  What do you think they will say?  "Oh it's okay but there are better things out there for the money."  No, they come up with superlatives no matter what it sounds lik... 
SET amps (almarro vs decware)
I'm guessing you'd do fine with either.  I know Decware recently upgraded their transformers and their SE34 Integrated is configurable in a number of ways. Also, there are a number of upgrade options as well so there is a lot of flexibility if you... 
Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?
Funny you mention this because I swear that sometimes I think things sound better when my ceiling fan is actually on. 
Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers?
If you are going the single driver route, I'd strongly recommend checking out the Omegas.  I've got a houseful of single driver designs and the Omega drivers seem to always sound the best to my ears. 
Changed amps - center image moved
Okay, I often see people advising folks to check polarity when something is wrong with imaging and bass and I have to ask; is it that hard for some people to recognize that their speakers are out of phase?  I swap equipment in and out of my system... 
Changed amps - center image moved
My experience is that it's not uncommon at all for imaging to change when one changes amplifiers.  If you prefer the imaging you had with the original amplifiers, you may be able to get it back just by repositioning your speakers.  Take time and e... 
Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95

What's your opinion on Jimmy Fallon's House band THE ROOTS?
They’ve been around forever and have a rich history before Jimmy Fallon. I’ve got one of their studio albums "Do You Want More" released probably 20 years ago. Great album and great sonics too. 
Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95
The Oppo 95 and 105 use the same dacs.  In conversations with Oppo at the time of the changeover, I was told that if I didn't mind the fan and was only going to use it as a two channel CD player, there were no differences.  The big improvements be...
