If I recall correctly Bdp24 you referred to the President as the "Trumpster" a clear sign of disrespect, you should be more careful with your words :^). If your post was removed as somehow being inappropriate for this forum, I hope mine is as well...

I respect you as well Charles, always well reasoned and respectful, more of what is required. The only thing that has changed over the past 8 years is the total unwillingness to compromise. There is one thing I really am not sure that you recogniz...

To add to your points bpd24  George H W Bush had to renege on his "read my lips" pledge by raising taxes to pay for the savings and loan debacle brought about by eliminating some of the regulatory policies of the Reagan (or is it Regan)  administr...

Don’t understand your last post Schubert but there is one thing we are certainly in total agreement on, empathy in this country and the world for that matter, towards those suffering through no fault of their own is really wanting. Your thoughts o...

"Those who deserve the best find it comes to them."  What does THAT mean?"Ask the Trump kids, they might be able to explain it.   
After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc
Maggies are nothing special.+1 Jafant, I REALLY get the appeal. But going back 30 years (2.6) to the present (3.7s) and many in between, great value speakers but they have too many shortcomings I personally could never live with.btw Schubert IS D... 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
When I went from Omega Micro Planar 1s copper ribbons which were a significant improvement over the many different cables I've had in the past to Omega Micro Planar 2 copper ribbons. What's the difference? In a nutshell greater resolution, leading... 
Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
"I don't like vinyl (grew up with it). I have never had a good audio system, and I am 60 yr-old medical school professor. "So Gerry, what component of your listed system is stupid good? You really didn't answer the question. Not that it is import... 
List of artists that have never lost quality throughout entire career
I hear you oregonpapa. Here's another Gershwin studio recording with Hal Mooney, a young Sarah and also a cd of the rehearsal cuts to give some insight into how talented and gifted that lady really was, just incomparable. Her voice got a bit smoki... 
Most Important, Unloved Cable...
Too bad indeed Teo_audio, I really wish you hadn't as it really summarized in a way I could never articulate the whole crux of the issue, great post and very thoughtful, if you still have it post again! 
Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??
"Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??"No, it hasn't happened yet unless I sold my Decapos BE's, then maybe, I DO love these speakers, they are really splendid communicators.Simao, enjoy those Adagios!   
Most Important, Unloved Cable...
Doug I’ve given up on trying to correlate the quality of sound replicating reality in any way. For that to be even remotely attainable it would first have to start with superbly engineered recordings. However,  I am as you are, in the subjective c... 
Most Important, Unloved Cable...
These conversations often leave me wondering, what does any of this have to do with enjoying recorded music? On another note, Doug, great response, a classic example of objective vs subjective philosophy. It’s another aspect of what makes this hob...

Oddiofyl I have a similar set-up to yours but a vintage upgraded PV9a with a pair of Quicksilver’s, just total enjoyment. It is only one of two systems I’ve had over the years (the other also consisted of a CJ PV5 many years back) where people, no... 
Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile
