Pass Labs XA30.8 vs XA60.8 moon blocks
That’s not really enough information to say, which is why you’re not getting responses. It could be a significant upgrade if your speakers need more power or just a minor bump by giving each channel its own amp. What speakers are you using and ho... 
Analog vs Digital on albums from the 60's and 90's
First, let me say it’s not a good idea to ask a question containing the phrase "vinyl vs digital." You didn’t do anything wrong, but those threads can get a little heated.☺ To answer your question, many people feel that 60s albums sound best on v... 
Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description?
TMR is a good company but they are not above reproach.  They do get things wrong including their condition ratings.  So let the OP have his say.  If we agree they are a good company, one complaint won't hurt their business.  
TAD Speakers
letitbe, You can usefully read about a speaker only so much. As you said, they get reviewed frequently, but ultimately you have to listen to it, preferably in your own system (good luck with that), to know if it’s right for you. There were a Comp... 
TAD Speakers
Which TADs are you interested in, letitbe? TADs are excellent modern speakers, that is, musical but uncolored, very transparent. Their beryllium tweeter reproduces sound way past the range of human hearing, so there’s no softening of high frequen... 
Why do we listen to sad songs? Interesting article!
Here's a little bit: Mario Attie-Picker, a philosopher at Loyola University Chicago who helped lead the research, found the results compelling. After considering the data, he proposed a relatively simple idea: Maybe we listen to music not for an ... 
How many of you streaming?
I have no problem listening to a whole album streamed.  I just select an album, put down my tablet and listen till it's over.  Sometimes I'll read about the album or read the lyrics while listening.  And sometimes I find an album I've selected doe...

OFF TOPIC ALERT bdp24, Did you see that Marty Stuart has a new album out today?  
Then Play On

Ripping CD's
I can suggest that you get EAC (Exact Audio Copy), a free download, for ripping your CDs. It’s the best free ripping software out there and has been for decades. I’m not so sure about burning software. Search for best free cd burning software and ... 
Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices
Ticket prices have been going up steadily for quite a while before streaming became big and hit ridiculous levels a while back. The big-name bands are charging what the market will bear and have learned that there are a lot of people with more mon... 
Can This Really Matter?
I think your SSD is OK where it is. Of course you might get better sound with a dedicated audio server, but then you probably wouldn’t need the Bryston. The Bryston is probably made to optimize sources like yours. I agree a better USB cable is a g... 
Grimm MU1 Roon Question
Do you have a Windows computer?  I just figured out how to do it with one of those.  
Grimm MU1 Roon Question
I’m not sure how to set it up, I’m working on that myself, but I think it’s done in Settings>Storage>Add Folder>+Add network share. On the roon website there is a page called: Adding Folders Using Path. Let us know if you get it sorted ... 
The 300B World
@atmasphere  Stereophile recently reviewed Klipsch La Scalas and measured B-weighted sensitivity of 101/2.83V/m.  The impedance dropped briefly to 4 ohms at 70 Hz, 335 Hz, and at length above 10k Hz.  Would a 300B amp be capable of driving these s...
