Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings
@newbee  Just ordered the Bavouzet box set.  I found the Ogawa a bit "soft" in some pieces.  The Uchida is "firmer" than Bavouzet but as a long-time fan of Jazz players such as JoAnne Brackeen and McCoy Tyner, I'm OK with that.  Funny -- I als... 
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
@hilde45  'Those who say power cables never matter, please go watch a cute cat video instead of posting here, please". You mean, like Cat 6, 7 ?

@dbb Many thanks for this. Looking forward to your next review!  
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@ebkesq  I suppose the seller could've made a mistake.  My Lokius measures as 1/4 inch spacing.   
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
@hilde45  "This thread is like an MRI capable of revealing every troglodyte, misogynist, sexist, Fox-viewer, and neanderthal out there". Sadly, yes.  
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  There's currently a Loki Max for sale, here. The seller confirmed jack spacing is the same as on the Lokius. Disappointing.   
Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones
Yes, there are carbon fiber acoustic guitars available at various price points. They are much less affected by changes in temperature and humidity than wooden guitars. RainSong is one popular brand while McPherson cater to fatter wallets.

@brunomarcs "Once you post any political realms, you just lost all credibility with any and all who disagree with you. Why would you bring that to an audio forum? " Good question. I also belong to the Acoustic Guitar Forum. Either it's rigorou... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  Apologies for my failure to communicate more clearly. I certainly didn't intend to take up so much of your time with this!   What I attempting to point out was simply that I find it very difficult to ascertain the relative spacing when ... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  Thanks. The photos do not show these units at the same scale --  compare the relative sizes of the inputs. Those on the Max appear smaller, here but I think it they are more likely the same size. I do appreciate your motivation to help.... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  Thanks. I have seen the photos but it's still not clear to me whether the spacing is actually any different.       
The one, the only Garth Hudson.
@bdp24  I think I just answered my own question.  ;o) I can't think of anyone with whom G. Hudson can be compared -- one of those players who occupies a category of their own !         
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
Yeah; I could do that.  My experience with them in the past has been that they've taken an awfully long time to respond, so I thought perhaps someone here might know.   
The one, the only Garth Hudson.
@bdp24  I look forward to hearing more from you on this topic. Perhaps you could contrast him with others such as R. Manuel, Nicky Hopkins, Bill Payne, Keith Godchaux...  
Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?
@mr_m  We baked bagels on boards, covered in burlap. We'd take bagels out of the kettle, sprinkle the boards with seeds if necessary, place bagels on top of boards then let the oven do one rotation. At that point, we'd stop oven and flip bagels d...
