Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
Hearing the beauty in a system is only there if you hear it and doesn't matter what anyone else's opinion is or what they have heard, if you like it you know it , kind of the definition of porn is, I know it when I see it. We all need to trust our...

Quicksilver V4 or 120 mono's with planars.
Don't know about the pairing with planar speakers but am very impressed with my Quicksilver Mono 120s with the KT 150 upgrade that I purchased new in October of 2017, replacing a pair of VTLs that were out of my price range to replace and powering...

Black backgrounds and such
Could it possibly be the nothingness between notes? An analogy that comes to mind for me is as a child visiting my grandparents in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma on a 1000 acre ranch, no power and no indoor facilities, if you get my drift, looking...

I was looking to clean out the closets and run quite a few adds the other day so started the process and soon just walked away, although I have close to 100 transactions I was a little put off by the new format, maybe it was just new to me was the... 
LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT
