Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Magnaplanar 1C(s) were my first really serious set of speakers. Iterations later it was the Infinity RS-1B(s) and finally the Dunlavy speaker line. I am doubtful that I will ever replace what I have now, given that I am more than 'satisfied' with ... 
Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable
The thing that I'm continually experiencing is that no matter if it's audio or video, it all makes a difference.  
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
Deviating a bit...the biggest value jump in my Home Theater was replacing the standard cable to my 4K projector with an audiophile power cable. I really could hardly believe what I was missing.  
FREE - THIEL CS 2_2 to a Good Home
My commendations. My experience and most probably many others is that we continue to purchase gear and we are left many times wondering what to do with the old gear that is still working perfectly, but has been stranded by virtue of our desire to ... 
I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd
What happens if Heaven and Hell turn out to be real places? How trivial then would this thread be.    
AudioMagic Fuses Bad Quality I Do Not Recommend!!
Just to put my two cents in...I have used Audio Magic cables and conditioners for many years and have had nothing but positive interaction with Jerry.  
Denafrips Athena- is damn good
Probably not the kind of post that's going to generate a lot of respect 😏.  
Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma?
I think that most audiophiles that have embraced this hobby for a fairly significant length of time will admit it's not just about the music. Technology always keeps moving forward and with it the hope of gaining a little more satisfaction with ch... 
If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically...
Been reading up on the Matthew Bond Cascade Noise Burn-In Disc – Version 2.0. Ordered one today and it will be interesting to see if this item takes the system further than the Ayre disc. I will share my thoughts after giving it a fair audition.  
If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically...
I tried to order the new Densen DeMagic disc from Sight + Sound Gallery. Ordered it 12/29 of last year and never received it. They don't answer calls, just get transfered to voice mail. Very frustrating!!  
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
Jeff Rowland was asked a question similar to this a few years ago and basically replied that it's what a designer does with the technology that counts as opposed to one classification being necessarily better than another.   
The problem with streaming
I was into high end vinyl for many years. What I found and what I still believe to be true is that to get the best of what analog can give you it takes an incredible ongoing commitment of serious $$$ to set up and a lot of effort trying to keep ev... 
Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
If you want the ultimate Dunlavy experience, find a Dunlavy subwoofer(s) to go with the SC-IVs or Vs. In my 2-channel room I have the Vs with a single passive Dunlavy Sub designed into an IV enclosure. Integrates seamlessly. Rattles the windows if... 
Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
I have the SC-IVs and just about every other speaker Dunlavy ever made.  Been to lots of audio shows. Been to a lot of dealer demos. If you're looking for the most integrated sound specific to a sweet spot, I have never heard anything better.  
How long ago did you catch the bug?
I was part of a family band growing up and I would mess around with the PA equipment. Got my first audio system in 1971 and first really high-end system in 1974. So, let's see, that means something around 50 years in this hobby. Still intrigued by...
