| Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply? @koestner "Does a DAC sound better with an overkill power supply?" On the surface, you seem to be asking an honest question, but your ASR bias is made obvious by the use of the word "overkill". If you already see a beefy power supply as "overk... | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving @sbrownnw As you can see from other posts that it is indeed possible to add photos to your post. Personally I use Imgur. Just upload the photo to Imgur, copy the link, then use the picture upload feature by pasting the URL. Like this. | |

| Best Stereo Upgrade Value Distributed bass array. | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? What the heck is an "Ames chair"? Are you sure you aren't talking about an "Eames chair"? | |

| Why do hipsters prefer analog? The Urban Dictionary describes "hipsters" as people that try too hard to be different (and genuinely do think that they're being different), by rejecting anything they deem to be too popular. Ironically, so many other people also try too hard to b... | |
