Thiel Owners
I remember Thiel being very well respected American speakers some years back and whenever I heard them I thought they sounded very nice especially how spacious they sounded. Is the company out of business?  I haven't heard much mention of them in... 
where and how to find blank "music" CD's
Yes I have been ripping and burning music CDs for car listening for many years.  I have bought them from Office Depot or mail order from Amazon and others, back from the days of iTunes.  
Audiogon Retail Price listings are not accurate
I would only add that I find the Blue Book info pretty useful in gaging value of used items I am intyerested in.  
Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass
I was searching through posts here doing some research on Magnepans and happened onto this one.  I have got to say somebody here needs serious help, and it ain’t jjss49. It is just some pretty pathetic stuff on display here.  
What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?
The Jazz in the Pawnshop series are really fine sounding and great music to boot.  I listen to them over and over again.   
Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions
Well maybe they are a little old school but I have always had great luck the UK made integrated amplifiers, like from Naim, Rega, Croft. They are built smaller but they can pack a real punch and sound really fine.  
Bose 901 VI flat?
Man I don't think I ever heard the Bose 901 sound good, maybe passable in some situations but if there was ever a mediocre speaker that was one.   
PS Audio Power Plants
I would like to revive this thread about PS Audio's PowerPlant AC regenerator units. May I ask if any of the long time experienced folks here have had direct experience with these units? For the whole system, or just certain components? Used on po... 
Roon question -- Android tablet working as Roon Remote can't find Roon Core each morning
Check to make sure your android device is on the same wifi as the Roon core. If it isn’t, it will display that message.  My Nucleus is connected via the Eero pod's LAN jack, whereas the tablet is on wifi.  Of course the Eeros pods are shooting ... 
So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System
I learned a long time ago that people with a lot of money are often not very smart at spending it.  Very often folks with a lot of anything tend to waste it or not think very much about how to use it.  
Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender
The mesh pods work much better in our house than the old extenders, which were really hit and miss.  So many drop outs.  
Ethernet cables
I have been very happy with Supra cable which sounds better than the freebie or cheapie Amazon cables but doesn't break the bank either.  
Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power
Let me ask another question. For the main amp, it is pretty heavy so a thick stiff cord is workable but for smaller items like phono stage or DAC they are smaller lighter units, they will work much better with a pretty flexible lighter AC cable. W... 
Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power
I appreciate the advice to try more expensive power cables in addition to cheaper ones, on a return and refund basis. So I will need to figure out which ones to try. Zafino seems to have a pretty heavy restocking fee, on a cheap cable its no biggi... 
Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power
@ghdprentice You asked about my system. Presently I have Epos M22 (their top of the line floor stander from their heyday, had these forever and in my room they just work for me) and a Rel Storm 3 sub. http://www.hifi-review.com/152915-epos-m22i...
