WAV vs. AIFF
Too get the best read??? 
Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic
Actually, I did and was told to do so. 
Why so few high end line arrays?
You think a signal sweep disproves what I said? 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I doubt if the materials in any speaker could stand a lifetime of use. Maybe Lowther based speakers. 
Why so few high end line arrays?
If you ever look at the frequency response of line arrays, you will see what looks like a comb. Each driver interferes with the others at a regular interval throughout the frequency range. I do love how quick they are, however. 
Nice used tube amp under $1000 used
I second the Dyna Stereo 70, especially with the Infinity inspired mods. 
Need preamp recommendation
I must recommend the H-Cat P-12R X8. I have yet to hear any line stage regardless of price that can image even close to this unit when it is properly set up, namely it hates having anything but it grounded. If you cannot do that, forget it.

Bigamp, I do use SR shielding throughout. Remember that the shielding is dc.I don't know how they would interfere with other cables. I did early on use the SR ics with other cables and noticed no problems. I also used for a while with other speake...

Local dealer cuts store in half says audio is dead
I have not had a local dealer for 30 years. I used to visit dealers in Chicago, LA, and DC in the past, but find they are all in the suburbs and have only a one or two products that interest me. I only once when out to visit one, found no satisfac... 
WHERE ARE THE BIG DAC ???
I doubt if you would consider it, but the Exemplar XD-1 DAC in its most recent form is flatout unbelievable. I have not heard anything that approaches it regardless of price, and it cost $2500. 
Rockport's or Magico's
I hate to further muddy these waters, but I am anxious to hear the Tidal Contriva Diaceras at the RMAF. My favorite Magico is the V3 and I don't like any of the others. I have always liked Rockports that I have heard at CES but have never really t... 
Luxman 3045 mb
I had eight of these in the late 70s. Aside from the output tube becoming unavailable, by biggest problem was setting the bias. Each night all eight had to be biased and this needed to be repeated during an evening of listening. I did not have the... 
Acoustic resonators in place of room treatment
It is merely an ART designed for a price point. 
Acoustic resonators in place of room treatment
Audioblazer, the less expensive ART does not have the Vibraatron, as I understand it.
