ROGAINE - Have you noted improved hearing with use?
oregonpapaThat amazing. I had the same issue sorta in reverse as I woke up with stiff, straight hair that was a lot thicker than normal.  
Better Sound For Free!
kqvkg9Tried unplugging everything audio and my perception of the noise floor actually increased. I now hear outside traffic, airplanes overhead, my refrigerator that is still plugged in for obvious reasons, even the gas fireplace makes a bit of hi... 
Let's talk power cords
Fancy power cords look cool with all the carbon fiber plugs and big fat cords running all over. If they sound better - it is a bonus. If it doesn’t, it is still cool looking. 
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
I want the empirical study, the double blind statistical results and logarithmic adjusted scope printouts before I will ever believe live plants deteriorate the sound. Especially those live and floating roses. 
Speaker Placement - When it's perfect!
i'm with atomic 601, but I have a big one in the right hand, little in the left. The big one seems to wash over the little one. And my room is often overloaded with those roses, but they never had much of a smell to me. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
I had a new Rolex, Breitling, two seat Benz rag top, 6 BMW's (3 cars and 3 motorcycles), two homes on golf courses and a great stereo. Now I have an even better stereo and all of the other stuff is long gone. I haven't missed any of it, but I woul...

Money comes and money goes. At least I don't have to worry about my investment portfolio, because I invested in better sound instead.

I feel slighted - My speaker cable only cost $3K. Bummer that I'm not part of those who would spend "real" money on cable. Now, about that Ethernet that can't sound any better either....

ErikThat is an almost amazing concept, but I don't allow any hair in or around my ears. Bill 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
It was spelt differently a few comments prior, and I thought some readers might prefer the correct spelling.

Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
I like Tidal. Tidal seems to like me. I like Roon too. So every competitive industry has winners and losers. Do we, the Audiogon typing and commenting group have significant influence? Perhaps we do.

LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago?
I have studied vinyl cleaning intensely in my own rig. Every record, old or new, should be thoroughly cleaned prior to play (not every play, just before it is played on your equipment.) To clean a record, it is necessary to cut off the natural oil...

Wow, that's great to know. And I thought it was  DELIRIUM TREMENS.
