IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions
Select-hifi,You auditioned them and found them not to your pleasure so good for you... but you did try them.  I am frankly amazed that raising the level at couple of inches so adversely affected the sound of your speakers.  Raising the vertical he... 
True wireless earbuds 100 or less, for classical
I can't get any earbuds to stay in my ears unless they are used with Yurbuds, which I think JBL or somebody now sells.   They are a wonderful invention. 
IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions
Holy cow, it is amazing that a Youtube video could reveal this enhancement with the GAIA footers.  My test with tube rolling and other enhancements (tweaks) is that if I don't recognize the improvement immediately, they are a bust.  I have tried g... 
Buchardt S400 Special Edition speakers -- any impressions?
Snapsc,The Buchardts have an astonishing soundstage, rivaling that of the Spatials.  I clearly think former has more inner detail and are just so tonally pure.  Noticable with the Buchardts is how incredible quick they are with no hangover, if you... 
Buchardt S400 Special Edition speakers -- any impressions?
Geoff, Not yet, it remains unopened.   
$3000 stand mounted speakers?
My recommendation is the Buchardt Audio S400 SE speakers.  They are  remarkably full-ranged speakers that contend with Dynaudio C-1 Contours or Joseph Audio Pulsars. They cost $2700 with a free audition period.  I am blown away with them in my sys... 
Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
I absolutely agree with MarktheNut's recommendations for the 6SN7-based tubes amps by Don Sachs or Supratek.  I had Don Sachs original tube preamp and now have his newest version and it is fantastic.  I suspect the Supratek is quite fine too.  Qui...

MQA and classical music
My audio muses inform me that it is nothing more than hype, an alternative compression format that yields no sonic benefits. Why go there?  
PWB Electronics
Yeah, I did too.  GK got to me on this particular tweak.   My impressions of these tweaks, and hopefully yours, will be shared on this thread.   
PWB Electronics
I guess I will take the taunt, "man up", and order their free samples, after which I will report back my observations.   However, I must do this surreptitiously as my most sensible audio friends still rib me years after my foolish trials of pricey...

dw,My favorite rock song by far is The Who's "Don't Get Fooled Again" and you cleverly riffed on it.  You are a very witty guy.

I unleashed a can of worms with this post and wish I could have a "do-over."  As always, GK dominates the discussion, which I presaged.  Over and out in this discussion.  Happy New Year to all.
