$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?
"Nothing Linn is worth $39k." And Donald Trump's natural hair colour is orange.  
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
"What do you think?"     I think that if you ask a question, make a statement or recommend something, you are, by default, inviting people to respond. As long as people are polite and respectful, then they should not be subject to your rules of e... 
Just a thought on first impressions, items for sale....and your thoughts.
A good dusting and a little Windex will pay dividends when selling anything. It is also a good idea to take a lot of pictures that show as much of the item's condition as possible, both the good and the bad. Visual proof is a great hedge against a... 
Herbie’s Super Black Holes
@paul6001  Sounds promising. I have some of Herbie's Dots and would like to try the Black Hole.     What CD player are you using it in?     
Do We Have New Software?
 
Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to.
Although I already posted a list of people or bands that I wish I had seen, I would like to add an addendum.     Even though I saw him live before, I would really like to see the real Bob Dylan.     What I mean is that I would like to see Dylan ...

@noromance      Damn! I should have kept my mouth shut.    Perhaps, nobody noticed.        
$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?
So, if you put it on Nobsound Springs, will a $39K streamer/dac sound better?     I am not being facetious. I am an owner of Nobsound Springs. I am asking whether the "unquestionably best combination DAC/streamer I've ever heard, bar none." could...

Bass anyone ?
Single pane patio doors? How's your heating bill for December and January.  
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I can't help it, but if someone if extolling the virtues of a component like a DAC or media server, I am completely on board with that discussion. However, if someone is putting what looks like a stone cow pie with a cheap label on their equipment... 
Audiophile virtues
Like you, my love of music led to my search for perfection in the reproduction of said music. The search became all-encompassing until the search for reproductive perfection supplanted the music itself. It has now progressed to a point where I no ...

Live music you have attended that left impact....perhaps better than you expected.
In the 50+ years I have been going to see "live" music, I have had the pleasure to many fabulous concerts, but for brevity's sake I will only include a few highlights from the 1970's. Most are the first time that particular artist visited Vancouve... 
The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.
It wouldn't be right if one of us old farts didn't give a big thank you to television shows like The Ed Sullivan Show, Shindig, Hullabaloo and American Bandstand.    The Beatles, The Dave Clark 5, Rolling Stones, The Who, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, J...
