Pair of copper infused socks so there are no more static shocks when touching my turntable.  
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
Take the measurements with a grain of salt. If I went by the “measurements” I would have never bought the Vandersteen's I currently have and love. Every measurement told me that they were 86 to 87 db and that my class A amps could not drive them. ...

Next best exponential DAC quality level?
@fuzztone  what do you think a steamer is? It is nothing more than a stripped down computer.  
Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money?
Jump to the end. Does it sound good? What sound are you looking for. I am in the camp of not liking to change the sound the artist originally wanted. This is like remastered albums they are changing what the original is.  
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
When I am enjoying the music and not the system. A lot of people will refer to this as “when the speakers disappear and all you hear is the music ”. You sound like you are entering the cheating stage of audiofile. You are in love with music but a ... 
Best Band That Never Was
Blues Brothers.  
Tube Vs. SS Preamps
Freya + will give you both. If you want tubes turn the tube buffer on if you don’t want tubes turn them off. I feel tubes are vital when streaming. Some or most digital streaming that is not run through tubes feels like razor blades to my ears, li... 
Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp
It has been said over and over on hundreds of posts. It is the old horse power vs torque argument in engines. Watts per channel is only a small factor in the overall power of an amp. You can buy an amp with 500 wats per channel that has no power a... 
Listening to music I don’t particularly like
I disagree with the non music equipment listening comments. I think you do like the music and your system is helping you to discover the new music. The amount of music that is online and just a click away is incredible today. Radio is good in the ... 
Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies?
You can buy another amp just to buy another amp but don't be supprised when you don't hear what you discribed you want to hear better. In you intro what you are asking to hear is not there. A new or different amp will not change the way the record...

Ready For Digital Source...Computer?
Building a good streaming system with a computor can be done easly. Dont listen to the negative people who claim to her " noise " in the electrical wire because the power company uses a bad resistor 20 miles down stream. The first thing to conside... 
Have you seen the website: themusicroom.shop
@ghasley better for spam calls when they ask to speak with someone tell them yes I will go get them. Then set the phone down and walk away and check back in 5 mins to see if they are still there. They are required to contact so many people per hou... 
Is it Possible??
If you like that sound I have a pair of Bose 901’s I would be happy to sell you. 90% of their sound is reflected off the back wall. You can also set them up backwards if you like.
