Who Would You Spend A Day With - Pick Two
@dynamiclinearity  You're welcome. And as a related aside, I own a pair of his FinkTeam KIM speakers, and he has been both very responsive to direct communication, and helpful.    
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...
FM Radio Shootout: Those are tuners; this thread is about radios.  
Who Would You Spend A Day With - Pick Two
@dynamiclinearity I think that you mean Karl-Heinz Fink.  
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
Very good comment, @simao  The silly stereotyping of Rap music (as in the quote that you included) is a dead giveaway of the cultural myopia to which you refer. There are countless examples of Rap that shatter such stereotypes, and I will offer ... 
Good movie and/or 4k disc recommendations?
I tend to watch mostly independent and foreign films, and could provide many recommendations. But I’ll start with one, that could also appeal to those who watch mostly mainstream films: Man on Wire It’s a documentary of Philippe Petit’s remarkab... 
Power cord length
Yeah, I ain't falling for the 2m thing, either. And I do believe that PCs can make a difference.  
If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like?
Well, presumably he would use Ansuz power products, given that they use “advanced Tesla Coil technology"! ANSUZ

I have a 'melting pot' system; if only the world could get along as well as my components! Poland (Circle Labs A200 Integrated amp) Germany (FinkTeam KIM speakers) Japan (CEC TL-15 Cd transport) Italy (Aqua La Scala DAC) U.S. (Audience speake... 
What CDs to buy
Charles Mingus Tijuana Moods (RCA Victor) – even if you're not a dedicated jazz fan. Terrific album and recording.  
What CDs to buy
While my instincts warn me against wading into such waters, I can’t resist. To come onto an "Audiophile" site in search of recommendations for recommendations of CD’s to purchase does nothing less than provide evidence that audiophiles care about... 
What CDs to buy
The Blue Note XRCDs are outstanding. I was just listening to Hank Mobley's Soul Station, and it is superb. Also, it is well known that some, but not all Japanese remasters are excellent. They can be expensive, but in my view worth the retail cost... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Khan Jamal Quartet’s Dark Warrior Outstanding and well recorded!  
Dual mono integrated amps
@ortodox  Audience AU24SX I used lower level Audience for ~10 years, and was very satisfied, then went through a relatively brief 'grass is greener' phase (tried a pair of Purist Audio design and a pair of Swisscables) before getting a good deal... 
Dual mono integrated amps
The Circle Labs A200 which I, and some other members use, is a "true" dual-mono integrated, and it sounds terrific. It's a minimalist design, though, so may not suit everyone's needs.  
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
Thanks Bill. Yours are certainly less expensive than the Stillpoints, though I was able to get mine at a nice discount. I did a fair amount of research prior to the purchase, as I had (remarkably, perhaps) never previously used anything more expen...
