Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
I still love live music but who I go the see and hear and where has changed over the years. Going to stadiums to hear multiple acts is still fun with a group of people. Tailgating before and after and the shared experience is fun as long as I’m wi... 
Good choice for 20' XLR cable?
I also recommend Blue Jeans cable.  They will make cables for your specific length.  Their customer service is excellent.  Well made cables and connectors assembled in the US at a reasonable price.  No snake oil.  I can say the same about Pine Tre...

Which subwoofer should I get?
I can recommend 2 SVS subs depending on your budget.  The 45 day buy and try and return for free in the US allows you to make sure they sound good with your system in your room.  The most important part or buying without regret in my experience.  ... 
All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what?
Some good all-in-one setups that can stream music on their own that just need a pair of passive speakers have been noted.  That Yamaha looks good.  I’ve have a few Yamaha Receivers that I’ve purchased over the years and they are still running well... 
Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems?

«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato
To me lyrics have to speak to you.  Do you connect with what the song is saying.  I love the lyrics that spoke to me as a kid and I enjoy some new music including songs my kids listen to.  As an old guy I find I’m more open minded than when I was ... 
Streamer apps critical
Agree that’s been my experience.  I was staying with my Node because of the BluOs operating system which worked for me streaming Qobuz with my iPad.  I didn’t like Roon or some other ops I tried even though the streamer was better.  I found the In... 
Everything matters
Agree that all components matter but there are diminishing returns in my experience once you have a well matched system with quality components that fit your budget.  The source is key.  Need a strong and consistent Wi-Fi signal connected to your ... 
Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design
A great discussion.  I’ve had so many speakers over the years from single element to 4-way in many different rooms including large towers and smaller bookshelves.  I agree with the comments that stress design and execution including component and ... 
What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles
Thanks for sharing your story.  I had a similar experience as I was upgrading my music only system.  I was trying out different speakers trying to find a sound I liked without sibilance.  I had a couple of friends over and was A/B testing 2 differ... 
Steve G has a point
I saw the video and it was interesting.  That’s one of the reasons I get more from reviewers that share both measurements and listening impressions.  Erin’s Audio Corner and James at Audioholics are 2 good examples.  I agree with his comments abou... 
Am I crazy to upgrade?
Looks like you are streaming your music using the Node as a streamer and DAC.  I suggest looking into upgrading both.  I did and it made a significant difference.  The source and the speakers have the greatest impact on the sound after the acousti...
