Any owners of Schitt Bifrost 2?
I, too, have the Bifrost 2. To me, it sounds great. I have 2 of them and Denafrips. I'm not a dog, so I can't hear everything, so it sounds great to me. Get it, enjoy it.  
Hafler DH-220 performance and modifications
I own both and I would not do anything to them, if they have been serviced and working/sounding good. Don't go down the rabbit hole trying to make it "perfect". Accept it as it is. I like Hafler stuff. If you want a different sound, buy something ... 
How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?
Interdasting question. However, if you keep track of such things, then you probably can’t afford the hobby. Homey don’t give a sh*t how much juice it takes. ;)  
Think I ruined stylus
It always costs you, one way or another.  :)   
RIP Melanie Safka
My first musical crush in my teen years. RIP, Melanie, thanks for your contributions and memories!  
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
Any early CHICAGO.  
Steely Dan UHQR
This discussion about Steely Dan had me pulling out every album I have to inspect. I noticed that the 2 copies I have of "Steely Dan gold" have been flawed since I bought them. Probably didn’t realize it until I played them long after I originally... 
I Cried Today
Beautiful. I'm trying to do the same with my sons. The relationships we develop in this crazy love for audio equipment are something special. God bless you and John's family and sorry for your loss, sir.  
Steely Dan UHQR
Totally agree with Willy-T on this. For many of us, back in the day, Steely Dan was the sh*t, and we didn't care how long they took to record an album, we knew it would be worth the wait. I probably have 8 album copies of this one - various sour... 
Klipsch Heresy vs Forte
I have both too, and will hang on to them until I run out of space and forced to decide what stays.  Thank you for the comparison video, and, please, give the dog some treats for his performance!  Tom  
Peachtree Reliability issues?
I have an Amp500, gloss mocha. I'd like to have the matching preDAC, but don't like the fact there are no tone controls.  I realize some purists would call this horrendous, but, that's how I feel.  I could use one of many other receivers or preamp... 
As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This?
During my grade school days, my grandad had one of those console stereo units, with everything built-in.  Dad always had a nice Bogen receiver and a Garrard TT that I was allowed to use, along with my little 45 record player (for all those new Bea... 
Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies
In the winter of 2020, another collector of vintage audio introduced me to the DAC difference.  Then, my 30-something nephew let me borrow his Shiit Modi. Damn, I thought, for under $100. it made that much difference?  So, down the rabbit hole I w...
