What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself?
I have learned, most of all, that I am not a true audiophile.I am, first of all, a passionate for music that drools for nice gear.I love the discovery of new music, so I listen to radio (FM or internet) a lot more than to my other sources. And whe... 
Is sound quality effected by twist connecting 2 speaker wires together for extra length?
I am in a similar situation.I have two different systems coexisting in my living room; The difference is that I have 2 amplifiers and 2 pairs of speakers. All these 4 "devices" are connected to a switch that allows me to choose which amplifier w... 
Pls share your experience with Zu Soul or Zu in general
I own a pair of Omen Def Mk1-b that I bought in September (2015) under very special circumstances. It's a long story about how I got my speakers shipped directly from the factory in Ogden, Utah to Macau (via Hong Kong), so I will just focus on my ... 
Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????
You're not a serious audiophile if you don't suspect of a subtle change in the bass extension every time you see birds landing upon the power lines outside your window.

Where do you guys buy tubes?
Here goes an answer from someone not living in the USA - but near Hong Kong:I don't buy online because there are plenty of shops selling tubes in Hong Kong. For those visiting the city and curious about where are the audio shops, just take a trip ... 
Can I cut a longer RCA run to two shorter ones?
As long as you know how to do it, there is no problem in chopping the cable to make two shorter ones. But as Audiolover718 mentioned, why would you do that? Save that cable for a future situation. Or sell it. It's easier and more convenient to get... 
What makes an expensive speaker expensive
Simply put, I think the most expensive speakers are too much overpriced.I understand all the money that goes into RD and all the expensive materials and expensive manpower, but I also strongly believe that there is a limit for the production of an...

I found Radio Paradise 3 years ago. Since that first day, my living room experiences their sound almost for 8 hours a day. I'm kind of addicted to RP!And I'm a contributor. It's a service I'm happy to pay for.  
Active speakers: Audioengine vs other brands. Opinions?
In fact I didn't know about active/powered differences. Good to learn.  
Your last concert was to see who and when?
The Rolling Stones - Macau, March 2014. Not the same as 20 years ago, but still a fantastic show! The sound wasn't perfect, but hey!, nobody goes to a rock concert expecting an audiophile experience. After that my wife got pregnant and my kid was ...
