So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu?
Song? Nah, the whole (Japanese remastered) album...  
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
@magnuman  When you make an assertion as ludicrous as this: all speakers no matter how much the cost are crap they're all very two-dimensional sounding and they don't throw a very wide three-dimensional and enveloping sound stage readers will... 
Integrated suggestions
I (and a few other A'goners) have been quite happy with the (Polish) Circle Labs A200. It is a hybrid amp, but the two Siemens ECC8100 tubes last for ~10 years with normal usage, and require no biasing. You can read users' impressions here: Circl... 
Sony TV sound
Glad that you're happy! As a related aside, I no longer live in the U.S., and really miss my Salamander rack. Great company.  
Sony TV sound
I also have a Sony OLED TV, and the built-in sound from the TV is surprisingly good, far surpassing any other TV I've owned.  I echo all of this, but still connect through my 2 channel system when watching films, and it is undoubtedly superior.  
Monitor Stands - Made of Stone

Monitor Stands - Made of Stone
I’ve settled on Live Vibe Audio. Yes more expensive but superior to Townsend based on every review I’ve come across. I’m glad that you are happy with them, but this strikes me as quite an overstatement. In any case, it’s important to note that ... 
Vinshine/Alibaba..What to buy and where?
Although I moved on from the one Denafrips DAC that I owned, and have mixed feelings about the company, Alvin of Vinshine provided superb customer service, and I would recommend that option without hesitation.

what bans? Apparently he thinks that the most pessimistic posters on the thread should be banned from the forum! 🤣🤣🤣  
need advise, which is the weakest link in my audio chain
To buttress some of the above thoughts and suggestions, trying different amps would also be my first thought. I am using an excellent, fairly expensive DAC (Aqua La Scala), and fine, very revealing speakers (Fink Team KIM –again, not cheap), and r...

The high end market as we know it is almost completely gone. Say what? Based on reports from the shows, it seems that "high-end" is carrying much of the load. And that would be consistent with broader economy, in which the middle-class is being...

Unfortunately, I agree with @testpilot  Anyone who is keen to buy an AR product would be well-advised to wait until the dust settles.

Never owned any of their products, but a very sad development for an iconic brand.  
The best speaker cables you’ve had
99% of you with these “High End” cables couldn’t tell the difference between lamp chord wire…Just saying…but it’s your money!! Lol Seven total posts and that’s what you bring? Looking forward to more of your penetrating insights. 🤣 🤣

Another vote for Audience AU24SX. Oh, and a shout out to @jl1ny – my second favorite were Virtual Dynamics David that I used many years ago!
