What Is The Best Song That Most People Have Not Heard?
@roxy54 +1 on that Vega song. So much of her catalog is subtle genius

I'm also not worried about their physical presence. I mean, if you're going to have speakers, then have speakers. As long as they are aesthetically pleasing, that I can make them work aesthetically in a room 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
I think different cables will give you different sound, not necessarily a better or worse sound  I've had cables deep in the stage but, compress the width about cables open up the width but the stage becomes very shallow. Cables can only do as muc... 
Requesting recommendations for phono stage
@chakster I'd never heard of JLTi until you mentioned it above. Will look into it. And also, I wasn't trying to imply that the pH 10 was a bad filling stage by any means. It really is phenomenal and I got one with full anticipation of loving it, w...

What are your preferred profiles for integrated amplifiers
Class A, silver, external fins (artistically machined, a la Pathos' fins), 2u or 3u 
Best used TT for under $1k?

Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Alfa Mist - AntifonReally seductive, groove oriented modern melodic jazz. Found the LP on a UK site but it's also on streaming sites and CD. Also great youtube studio videos 
Your thoughts on my plans..
What a fun, rewarding system you have! And @millercarbonis right (oddly enough), as is @skypunk and others who say that whatever brings you audio happiness is a good system. Like, never use your music to listen to your system. And price is immater...

@jjss49 Good rec on the Carmichael album. Listening to and enjoying it now!@jw944ts.    Been listening to that live Sting album for almost 30 years now. It hasn't aged well, though it still has some shining parts in it.
