WHO IS ATTENDING SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST SWAF IN DALLAS THIS WEEKEND!
I had the pleasure of meeting @calvinj  and listen to  some music- great sounding room  well done- great products.  
Bose Chucks Mac
@kennymacc  agree. The kids that work at Best Buy here do well to find the on off switch    
I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?
75-85 db  
Is the "improvement" real or imnagined?
@immatthewj  interesting experiment I have some racks that have been on order for some time. When they finally came in, they were destroyed in shipping. Once I get that done, maybe I’ll need to shop for a proper listening chair that  also is com...

@deep_333 The BAACH product apparently does some of that-I’m looking forward to checking it out

Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada
As a former federal prosecutor, I don’t recommend lying to a customs agent.  Particularly in the fraught environment of a trade war.  on the other hand, some say fortune favors the bold.   
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
@deep_333 great points and well made. The very high end is well above what I’m willing to pay, even if I had the ability, but I see no reason to create resentment towards those who buy in that segment of the market. When I hear someone call them f... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
@mahgister I didn't miss your point. Your thoughts concerning "psycho-acoustics" are well documented and I simply have nothing to add to your well stated views. I saw Cheapaudio's video-the one you posted-and found it insulting. He actually refer...
