Quality of Sirius XM
I have Sirius-XM hooked up to my main system. It does not sound nearly as good as CD's. But it is useful for hearing things I don't own or haven't heard in years. If something really catches my attention, I buy the CD and enjoy it more. FM is al... 
Are you on or off? What say you?
+1ibmjunkman "Never got on. Happy with my reconditioned 1970s gear." My stuff is from 1990. Almost done getting it all refurbed and upgraded. Then I'll be good for 30-40 more years. More than I'll be around! I am now getting into making what I... 
power cable
Yes builder3. Chords are for music. Cords are for electrical purposes. But then the power chord comes in. "A power chord play is a colloquial name for a chord in guitar music, especially electric guitar, that consists of the root note and the fi... 
Room acoustics basics
After I purchased speaker cables from Morrow Audio I received an offer to sign up for their Tweaks Newsletter. I received the first one and it was pretty basic ( what the OP wanted ) yet informative. It quickly and informatively described treating... 
My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!!
In 1990 I bought the best audio equipment I could afford. It is much better than I had ever had before. I have had it ever since. I enjoy it. Now, 33 years later, some of the equipment has started to fail. I am almost done sending stuff out to ha... 
10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp?

Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I had a Soundcraftsman 15 band per channel EQ that added noise to my system. I now have a Harman Kardon EQ8 that is dead quiet when in use, but.... I had a guy who's a professional musician, piano tuner etc. play with it for over an hour. I test...

21 year old AV receiver - waiting for the end?
My Harman Kardon Citation 22 amps, Citation 25 preamps, and Citation 23 tuners are over 30 years old. Same with my HK CD players. Over the past year or two some things started to fail. I'm almost done getting everything refurbished. Some things a... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
Audiophile. It's largely an ambiguous term. Do you like music? Does what you listen to it through sound good enough to you? If not, are you improving your equipment enough so that you do like it? Good enough. Except for helpful advice, nobody ... 
Tune of the Day
Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder. One hit wonder from 1983.  Heard it on the radio the other day for the first time in many years.

Cleeds, I knew what you meant. Your post was very clear. Another thing to consider too, try and take a server to a friend's house to watch a movie or listen to music.

Reading comprehension is important Tony. More than one solution has been offered.

I do appreciate the constructive and civil posts from both of you. Maybe after retirement I too will have my own servers and such. Right now though I will continue to work almost 60 hours a week so that I  will have a nice retirement.  It doesn't...
