Gamut Lobster Chair
@dcpillal he has it in a dedicated listening room (the only chair) and right in the sweet spot. In my opinion a great "headphone" chair, but as a listening chair within 10 minutes and a soon to be Senior, I could see my head slowly tilting to the ... 
Gamut Lobster Chair
A friend of mine has one, super comfortable, but the cost just doesn’t justify it to me. A local audio Dealer here sells them at 7K(cdn)a pop, plus sales tax.   
Capital Audiofest, save thyself!
Fremers got an interesting video of the show on his Analog Planet channel on YouTube.

Advice needed re: new CD player purchase
Another vote for Marantz, I got my SA-KI Ruby specifically for sacd playback and love it. The SA10 is the true bomb, beautiful unit. I haven't heard the new 30n sacd player yet. All well within your price range.  
Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why?
I've been using power conditioners since my 1st Adcom ACE515 Enhancer in the early 90's and today using a Furman Elite 15PF with Monster AVS2000 stabilizer. I will never get rid of my conditioners, to important in my system and also in my opinion.

One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
Due to the pandemic we have the same scenario here, by appointment only.  Some guys have even closed their store fronts and are actually now selling out if their homes, or out of a small office space they've rented instead, and you guessed it...by...

What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?

Agree with CAM and US Audio Mart being ok. I have sold and purchased on both websites, and since CAM’s inception with "0" issues. I have sold a few pieces to the US and Internationally as well, with either a minor issue(in Canada only) that was co...
