Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
Another question would be: Have we lost civility and respect in general?  
They know we will pay anything they can think of
I wonder what speakers the OP is referring to above?  The ones that don't sound too good.   Also would be good to know where you heard them to form the conclusion.  Why not warn us about them by giving some details?  Thanks.

@jbuhl  Thank you for the reply!  
Digital music questions
I have uploaded several hundreds CDs into my Mac computer (probably close to 1 TB) and I listen to those files by streaming from the Mac to a Marantz Streamer/DAC connected to my preamp.   I would like to not use a computer for this.  Anyone have... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Same speaker type as most Tannoy models.  Do these sound as good as Tannoys?  
Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023)
Thank you guys!   Would the Treo CT mate well with a McIntosh MC275 VI? Just looking at the sensitivity.  
Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023)
Thanks for all the insight! I currently have 2 REL 9i subs so either the 2CE III or the Treo CT might sound just right with them.  Wonder if I would get my moneys worth getting the Treos since I have the 2 subs to potentially mate with the 2CEs? ...

I have always been curious about Vandy speakers because they consistently get great reviews.  All Models it seems. Therefore, is it worth buying any of the higher end models?  Or just buy the 2Ce sig 3 and be done?  Are the Treo TC or the Quatro ... 
Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP?
I have had Turnberry speakers for 5 years and recently auditioned the Fyne 703 which retails for $15k or so. The Fyne sound very similar. No surprise because the Fyne people came from Tannoy. I didn’t purchase  the F703s. Not worth it at all to me... 
I keep being reminded of how much power cords mater
Thank you @millercarbon .  
I keep being reminded of how much power cords mater
Agree.  Of course, the cartridge is really an important component of the turntable.  So if power cords make a difference on other components, why not a turntable also?     @millercarbon I would value your opinion on this subject - have you tried... 
I keep being reminded of how much power cords mater
Would upgrading the power cord on a turntable have an effect?   I have upgraded all my other components so far.  I have a VPI Classic 3.

RIP Pierre.    Is Mapleshade still in business?  The website remains but No one answers the phone.   
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
I have the Tannoy Turnberry speakers.  Excellent, full, lush sound.  I hear instruments I never knew existed on LPs I have had for over 30 years.  I've had many speakers over the years, including some that cost twice as much as the Turnberry.  Non...
