I’m visiting Japan.
We are currently saving to go to Japan within the next three years. I’ve always been intrigued by Shindo - but unsure if they provide formal tours. Jazz Kissa has a good map, but I haven’t been able to make it work correctly.  
Any Thoughts?
Oh I don’t know? Catchy pop songs and because she promotes Capital One, which is like…the best credit card if you’re trying to build credit. If I had the opportunity for a Make-A-Wish it’d probably be s’mores and champagne with my best friends (Ja... 
Any Thoughts?
I prefer talking to my dogs more than people 99.9% of the time.    I once had a prophetic dream dating Taylor Swift, but no one believed me.

Don’t have the 7706, but do have the 7704. The MultEQ app is phenomenal. I have multiple settings/preferences that can be saved and uploaded for different sources and/or material (streaming, Ultra HD Blu-Ray, sports, etc.). Settings include crosso... 
Help! Is my new McIntosh MA12000 broken?
I had significant transformer hum from my small tube amp when I moved to a new residence years ago. Purchased the Emotiva CMX-2, which completely addressed the issue. Worth a try.       
Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time?
With Omega, their Instagram page is the most up to date in terms of custom speakers or one-offs that are ready to ship. I usually send an email message and Louis will typically respond with timelines and prices. If I remember, he was pretty busy d... 
Tidal Adopting Hi-Res FLAC
+1 @romanesq completely agree. I’ve always liked Tidal for their UI, music Discovery, and Connect feature. Win/win for me IMO in respect to this necessary pivot from Tidal.  
Is a home theater even worth it or doable?
I do streaming with a 5.2 system in an open-concept living room. I was debating the same as well when we had purchased our current residence, especially since I knew I would be putting a two-channel system in another room. We went with on-wall fro... 
Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?

Whats playing on your system today?
@curiousjim Cigarettes After Sex is so incredibly underrated, but has a loyal following. I listen to at least one of their songs on a weekly basis. If I owned a cafe it’d be my go-to cafe music after 6:00 PM.  
VINCENT AUDIO
Jay Iyagi on YouTube had a nice little rundown on a Vincent integrated hybrid that you may find interesting which you can find here.  
Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
The BMC Ultradac looks stunning IMO. My excitement is usually drowned out because of irrational anxiety that the purchase is damaged during shipment or DOA. This all began many years ago after receiving a speaker that was literally broken in half ... 
Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?
@ozzy I'd be curious to hear what GIK says. That's a great service they provide - it was somewhat of an education to me in terms of the information they provided (and why).   
Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers!
@erik_squires yes! Thank you for correcting. If I remember, HSU also has Q Control.
