Quick Question to any ; Kharma DB-7's owners.....
I had a pair of 2 way floor standing speakers for many years.  It used a Scanspeak 6 1/2 inch woofer and a Scanspeak silk dome tweeter. They were the best Rock speakers I ever had.  The bass was unbelievable.  When my brother came by for a listen,... 
Odyssey Khartago ES or PS Audio Stellar S300?
I am biased as I owned a Odyssey Stratos for many years.  I would pick the Khartago since it is class A A/B as opposed to Class D I believe of the PS Audio.  
Turntable lid up or off?
When I got my SL1200G turntable, I listened both ways, with the cover open or closed using the same record.  After about 10 try’s, I found the open position better and go with that now.  
Old work electrical boxes
I used metal old work boxes when I ran 3 dedicated lines for my system when I bought my present house in 2002.  I have never had any problems with the drywall caving in or cracking.  I have plugged and unplugged from the lines probably a hundred t... 
Speaker Cables
I would go with Canare 4S11 cable.  I rewired both my systems with it in January 2020 and still loving it 1+ years later.   
Accuphase DP570 vs. Luxman D10X
Have you looked into Esoteric Audio players?  
What are Your Favorite Tweeters?
The AMT tweeter and silk dome tweeters.   Everything else doesn’t sound real to me.   
Should I buy the CSNY 50th anniversary Deja Vu box set?
I love Deja Vu. I still have the original LP since it came out in the early 70’s.  My favorite CSN&Y record.  What is new in the box set that we haven’t already heard? 
I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions?
B&O still make turntables?  Had one in the late 80’s. Paid around $700-800 new.  What a pile of crap!  Brought it back to Natural Sound in Framingham, MA after a week and bought a Rega Planar 3 turntable with a Linn K9 mm cartridge instead.  A... 
New turntable: TW or Obama?
@bobbydd,I will say what others besides myself may be thinking about your post.   What are you trying to pull with the title? 
VTI audio rack, any good?
I am the OP and I switched to Solid Steel audio racks 2 years ago.  Very satisfied. 
All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!
Most of these  You Tube unprofessional reviewers are biased and their reviews should be taken with a very large grain of salt. 
A Word About SkyFi audio Customer Service
@cleeds,I had never before bought anything from SkyFi.  I only found out when I tried to put in a bid and was told I had been blocked by them.  I wrote a nice note to the owner of SkyFi prior to that explaining he is doing his customers a big diss... 
A Word About SkyFi audio Customer Service
SkyFi banned me for pointing out they were misrepresenting a turntable they had for sale.  I didn’t know it until I tried to purchase something.  While you had a good experience, I did not.  
Marten Oscar Duo BIG BARGAIN !...
With floor standing speakers getting slimmer and slimmer, I question why anyone would buy a pair of monitors and stands.  It has to be a compromise and bass is usually pretty anemic.
