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  
Made in USA
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... 
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
Those who own, or are considering purchasing an A200, note that I found vibration mitigation to make a big difference in performance. I belatedly added four Stillpoints under my A200, and the results were much greater than I was anticipating. I d... 
Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers?
@weebeesdad  A quick update. I belatedly tried a tweak that I obviously should have applied long ago – vibration control under the amp. I got a very good deal on four Stillpoints, which, after plenty of research, I chose from amongst the various ... 
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...
While I cannot compare to the others mentioned, I own a ITT Schaub-Lorenz Touring International 103, and the sound is outstanding. It is a portable radio, but still worth a look. For a comprehensive review by (radio expert) Jay Allen, follow this ... 
Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
Bobby Womack
