Best sounding CD player
@audiotroy  If you were a lawyer, they would call you an "ambulance chaser". Whatever you are, it is not admirable.  
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
There is "the replacement cost" and there's "what I paid for it". I rarely buy new so there is quite a difference.  
Get out and listen!
Love Benaroya Hall. We are in Vancouver, BC and love visiting Seattle for the music. Dimitriou's Jazz Alley is a great venue and one of the best concerts I have seen was Eddie Veder's 2011 solo show at Benaroya. Final show of the tour in his "hom... 
Get out and listen!
Couldn't agree more. Live, unamplified music provides a reference point. Opera (various Met performances) and big band jazz, when it was an option (Woody Herman, Buddy Rich) were the purest music I have ever heard.    
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
Whatever I am buying. If the initial asking price is not realistic I move on. If the asking price is over what I think is a fair price, based on model, age and condition, then I assume the seller has built in a buffer so I offer a little under hi... 
They still seem to be a hot mess
I found an alternative supplier that sold very good looking acoustic panels for a fraction of the cost of GIK. Along with, good quality and delivery times. Unfortunately they are no longer an option, as they are based in Kiev, Ukraine. I hope th... 
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?

questions about buying/selling
Speaking as a Canadian citizen. Paying tax when you sell used equipment is criminal. Maybe you should head north. Less tax and free healthcare.    
The Beatles Revolver
To me it stinks of pandering to a generation that has limited attention span, doesn't care about sound quality and won't watch a classic movie without having it "colourized".      
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
3D movies = Atmos music.  
Sad songs- We love them- We need them
"I Can't Make You Love Me" Bonnie Raitt "Hey Mister, That's Me Up On The Jukebox" Linda Ronstadt "Hurt" Johnny Cash "He Stopped Loving Her Today" George Jones "Someone Like You" Adele "The Living Years" Mike & The Mechanics "Good Riddanc... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
@baylinor  "In fact Hendrix dying before he was fully engrossed in the political direction he was following ends up being a good thing for my love of his music. Politics are all about material matters, music and art in general are just the opposi... 
Harley Benton Mighty-15TH Test
So you recommend an amplifier that you also sell. I'm so surprised. Doesn't that completely invalidate your "review" and recommendation? You also seem to have no idea about the audience you are selling to on this site. I would suggest switching... 
Sansui Au9500 - Leave it on?
I bought one when it came out back in the 1970's and a part of me still misses it. Always loved the sound and the switches and knobs had a strangely sensual feel. As to leaving it on, sorry I can't help.  
BluSound Node and Node 2
Had a Bluesound Node for years and had no issues at all. Have since upgraded to a Lumin/Denafrips combo and I am very happy. Not sure why you are a such a glitch magnet with your Nodes, but good luck with things.
