Axpona Show 2019
@dweller  I'm heading to AXPONA from Indy myself.  First time to attend. 
looking for a dac
brace yourself, you're about to get a flurry for recommendations for the bluenode 2i indicating its an outstanding value in the under $1,000 (and even under $500) price range.  In my experience you need to step up into the $2,000 range to get anyt... 
Why are you into hi end audio?
At some point we all need to nurture our soul...this is one of my avenues. 
Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service?
I agree with the comments about being sure you have your network fully functional before concluding that a streaming service is buggy.  A year or two ago I upgraded my router to a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and I've never had as much as a hiccup.  Ti... 
An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..."
and Elvis didn't place an emphasis on looks and theatrics and sexuality instead of quality music?  Did he not rip off black people's music for the most part and monetize their craft at a level they could never have dreamed of?I think we are being ...

Will technology make records obsolete one day?
For me, 1st pressing mono vinyl jazz are history, collectible, and just can’t be reproduced. Just taking original analog master and running it through a modern board to make modern records against a totally black vinyl background just doesn’t capt...

Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available...
so all the other "nice-ties" like remote control switching between triode and UL and the bad tube indicator were part of past models too?  Obviously those type of things don't effect sound and seem more geared towards making tube gear seem less "s... 
What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)?
I haven't been looking really hard for these but I don't even see used Spendor D7's come up often in the US. 
Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs?
Critics didn't like it, some were disappointed in factual inaccuracies (as if it were claimed to be a documentary...ha), but I was thoroughly entertained as were my kids.  It was better than I expected.  You need to embrace it for what it is - ent...
