Help wanted spending money and improving my system.
I would look at a dac  upgrade. Look at a true r2r fully balanced with xlr outs. 
Speaker Recommendation up to 70k
With your budget of 70K I would look at the Porsche Macon gts. 
Still happily using vintage gear?
I am still running my Pioneer tt that was purchased in 1974. Another that is not in my main system but still pulling duty at my wife's business in my Sansui 7070 receiver. This Sansui has been left on and running steady for the last 30 years. Only... 
If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…
That is the hidden trap that to many step in. They love the music then read some articles that talk about depth width sound stage timber bass and on and on. They soon stop loving the music and start dating their system. Only to realize that when t... 
cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl.
I still use and love my dragon. Have own since bought new in 83. I recorded a ton of live radio broadcasts that still sound really good. I also ran sound for bands and we were able to tap into the boards at concerts and record major acts with out ... 
You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which?
Frito Lay and any brand of legal weed! 
American Audio
@rajugsw your Bose 901 caught my eye. I ran mine for years when I had had my Sansui 7070 in the rotation and they sounded very good. Not great but good. Then when I went to Aiger mono blocks and tube Freya I could never get them dialed in. Even an... 
American Audio
Don’t sleep on Shiit Audio they fill a space that the others don’t. Not all of us can spend the same for an amp as we can for a car or town house. 
Which component to upgrade to improve bass control?
In my experience with the same issue I made two changes that helped. Upgraded power cords to my amps and then added a power conditioner. I was skeptical at the thought but after the upgrades it only required one min of listening the hear the diffe... 
USPS records delivery delays
USPS should be the last option you ever choose. I my are there is a bottle neck facility where packages will sit for weeks. Spend the extra money and request FedEx. 
why do so many discussions turn contentious?
It is the way of the “new world reset”. I liked to watch sit coms until they turned into social engineering so I quit watching them. I liked to watch sports as a get away for all the political bs on the news and tv. As soon as sports brought in th... 
HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams
Check out the station web sites direct. WXRT Chicago has a listen tab snd the quality is excellent. Another I have on my iphone is HiDef Radio app. Not sure if they still offer it as I have had people day they can’t find it. 
Putting it to bed
@roxy54 After living with and helping my Father with Parkinson's disease for 10 years I do not see the “charm” in old age. I would not wish that on anyone and could not even think of a worse illness to go through as a family! 
Putting it to bed
Like they always say “no one dies a virgin as we all get fu#*#d in the end”! Old age is the most cruel stage of life God throws at us. Don’t understand it and probably never will. 
Critical listening and altered states
I will take this topic to a different point of view. In the past have I enjoyed getting drunk, stoned, or both together yes I have. Have I enjoyed listening to music in that state of mind yes. But now as I have aged and refrained from the mind alt...
