Yello - Reel to Reel
Thanks for the post. Yello is my favorite electronic band bar none. Any audiophile should pay them attention, regardless of their musical tastes. Their sound and recording technique are unequal. They are that good. I have all 14 of their CDs. Not... 
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
Frivolous lawsuits. It's a USA MO. I unfortunately got used to it a long time ago  
Is positive reinforcement why things are sounding better?
+1 @mahgister  Before I built a properly soundproof listening room and then spending a couple years finding the proper acoustic treatments for it to sound good to my ears, no way was I able to accurately assess the values, positive or negative,  ... 
Is positive reinforcement why things are sounding better?
With a highly resolving system, I can hear differences in almost any upgrades or adjustment I make to the system. It then all comes down to what your ears want your system to sound like. My audio journey has become very simple that way. So positiv... 
Kiseki Blue N.S. vs van den Hul Frog Gold
+1 on re-tipping. Done it twice on my Lyra Kleos at Soundsmith with no significant change to sound signature. And under $500.  
I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue
Talking about Tool's Maynard, next Saturday I'm going to see him in Houston for the Sessenta concert. It celebrates his 60th birthday and he will sing with 3 bands, Primus, A Perdect Circle and Puscifer. How great is that! I'm turning 70 this year... 
Are You A Disciplined Audiophile?
This discussion is in need of serious discipline if you ask me. That being said, burn-in can be a real thing. I am currently waiting on a new Snake river AES digital cable which they just custom built for me but it will take an extra 9 days befor... 
Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
For whatever it's worth, in my experience with my Parasound Halo a21+, plugging it directly into the wall or into my Black Lion PG2R conditioner/regulator dedicated power amp section has resulted in no significant improvement. Furthermore, other t... 
Audiophile Comedy
The 7 million $ PC video was hilarious. And so much so because it is so often the reality of the audiophile world. Still laughing...    
Weirdest record defect?
Untame the tiger, excellent album BTW.   
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
I have an Innuos ZENith mk3. Does that count?  
Connection options from Node to Denafrips Iris to Pontus
My NODE has a USB out and I have always used it connected to my Gustard X26 PRO, now in my second system. Posters are thinking of older models which did not have it. Use it, that way the dac's clock will be used instead of the Node's which will be... 
Koetsu
Quality of streaming now through the roof hurting high priced carts? Just a guess but probably close to reality.  
Planar Speakers and Diffusors
Bottom line you would be better off diffusing the back wall with the Q7ds imo.  
Planar Speakers and Diffusors
@ozzy  I know nothing of planar speakers as I never used any. However I can easily point to the gigantic TV screen between your speakers as a major reflection contributor. You need to at least cover it with some type of 100% wool covering while l...
