Contact Enhancer Q45T
I have been using "contact enhancers" for twenty years now, all available commercially. First apply something like Brasso, wipe off, then some DeoxIT. Nobody objected to those. Now there are all these "contact enhancers" for audio, at much higher ... 
Audiophiles on Audiogon.
And yet, here you are: six brand new threads in Audiogon since you joined the "Kooks" (read: Audiophiles in Audiogon) less than a month ago.  
Amir and Blind Testing
@csmgolf : It would seem that robertdid, atdavid, audio2design, sugabooger, among many other user names, has reinvented himself once again. Same argumentative, condescending approach. Yup! No doubt. I figured this out from the first few posts.... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@helmholtzsoul : audio2design. He was one of the most irritating people on the forums and they let him disrupt every single person on this site for MONTHS.  Audio2design was just one of his many names. He must have come back here at least ten ... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
Unless they can statistically prove over a larger population that it sounds better, it don’t mean jack I highly doubt people buy their audio gear to statistically prove (satisfy) the mass population. I have a strong feeling they buy them to sat... 
“House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers
like the transparency and imaging of the 802 D3’s I thought you had the 803 D2 I read a review of the 802 D4’s that said to expect bass to be missing in rooms smaller than 430 square feet.  My room is more like 600 Did you mean “rooms LARGE... 
“House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers
If you like B&W general sound signature, the obvious choice is the new 802 D4. Or the 801 D4 if you can swing it. Your D2 is two generations ago  
Amir and Blind Testing
My guess is, right at this moment, there is a group of people, mostly young people, who are just getting into the hobby. They have to base their purchase decision on something, anything, and since 1) they have no clue what sounds good or not so go... 
How do I get the best soundstage?
@hysteve : I’m not aware of the place to load a photo of my system but I will look into it and see if I can.     You can post pictures of your system (and info) here: https://systems.audiogon.com/   Then everyone can see what you have by c... 
Any owners here of Bowers & Wilkins 800 series D4 yet?
Thank you @greginnh , I appreciate you expanding over your initial post. It helps a lot. And you are right about that, speakers are very room and gear dependent.  
Any owners here of Bowers & Wilkins 800 series D4 yet?
Better how @greginnh ?  
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
Here are some words of wisdom from the late Charlie Hansen of Ayre ---------------- The thing that I see over and over and over in this thread is an irrational belief in the importance of the DAC chip itself. Just about everything affect the sou...

20 pairs @albertsportis ?? You have a lot of money locked in these. 🤦‍♂️  
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
I never got to try any HFC cables, but, the NPS-Q45T I received about a week before the company shut down is outstanding. It does way much more for my system than the $350 suggests. Times more. It’s a no brainer IMO. One has to try to believe it. ... 
Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more...
@danager : The rules need to be much stricter to stop this nonsense, removes blatant abusers and users of this forum including myself need to grow up, grow a pair and discuss what really matters... USB cables.  LOL! I literally laughed hard wh...
