Subs?
+1 for multiple subs. If your mains go very low, like your 804 D3's, you're stuck with trying to balance two issues: imaging (driven by speaker placement) and room modes (dictated by speaker placement). You would be incredibly lucky if your soluti...

@macg19 Ain’t nothing wrong with being a 3!

OK, finally listed a Virtual System https://www.audiogon.com/systems/11907 Thanks for the push, @ghdprentice ​​@jond and others. Please forgive the messiness; this is a temporary location and I’m just not putting any work into clean cabling / ro...

@carlsbad2  You are assuming all order is a conscious decision.  Subconscious could be enlightening, too. I know some people who stock their pantry all labels facing forward, and some who are more haphazard. May not be a conscious decision, bu...

OP, Get out your phone and take a photo, post in the virtual system area. Takes only a minute. you can post a new photo with each change. It would be fun to watch.  @ghdprentice I will do so this weekend. Thanks for the push.

@newbee Doh! I didn't think about just listing my components, without pictures, as you did. That would solve my "too messy to photograph while moving too frequently" problem. Maybe I'll add a virtual system soon... I also wonder if people who use...

Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR..

Which Schitt Audio Equalizer operates as a loudness switch for low level listening
Another happy Loki Max owner here. If you have a remote for volume control, you’ll want a remote for your “loudness” control, too. Similar to others, I started with approximations to a few Fletcher Munson curves stored as presets on the Loki Max, ... 
BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
+1000 Fletcher Munson It's settled science.  I bought a Schiit Loki Max a while back. I use one preset that resets everything to zero change, where I can twiddle the knobs to adjust poor recordings. The other two I have programmed in different ... 
Package Has Disappeared in USPS System
The package arrived today, and, as it was superbly packed by the vendor, it came through in fine shape. @mike4597 Glad to hear it arrived safe and sound. Here's one more data point on USPS Priority Shipping and Tracking, from sending my tax ret... 
Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses
Changing the DNS on my router to the Google standards of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Haven't had any problems since this change..... it works flawlessly. @duckey  Great advice in general!  Another good DNS server is 1.1.1.1, run by Cloudflare/APNIC S... 
Speakers for low-level listening
+1 on the Loki Max.
