Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!!
@sns +1 this has been my experience, especially when comparing a generic FMC to the Sonore oModule Deluxe (both with quality LPS).  
Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables?
In addition to the suggestions provided here, I would consider making contact with the Cable Company for a free consultation, as well as their lending library if you have the time and want firsthand experiences with various cable looms. Within my... 
Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole...
Your admonition to go with Oled over QLed seems reasonable though for my living space I have questions about whether Oled will have a bright enough image for the space it must go into. OLED has come a long way in this regard. This was the main ... 
Fiber or Eithenet
@chipcalzone +1 great share.

+1 on Costco. If I didn’t have a membership I’d purchase one just for the return policy and baked-in extended warranty.     
Tweaking Your Speaker Placement
Man I HATED those IsoAcoustics - made it impossible to slightly adjust speakers lol.   I currently use IsoAcoustics and I must admit that slight adjustment are a complete pain. Using tape to mark previous positions and then using a towel undern... 
What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?
Spent this past year focusing on the lower frequency range with the purchase of a REL Classic 98 and Decware ZRock3 (ZR3). The Decware is a simple two slope tube equalizer that I’ve simply fell in love with over the past few months due to the weig... 
Streamer apps critical
Absolutely.  The app frequently defines the experience.   Completely agree with this first comment. I wish the UI didn’t have such a significant impact while listening to music, but it somehow does - especially when it comes to the quality of r... 
Found A Roon Core Streamer Only Solution with Top Notch Sound Quality
Awesome find with a great price. If I was in the market I would definitely give this a try. Appreciate the share @jbhiller!  
HiFi Rose RD160 DAC
Thank you for the generous compliment! I read the suggested reviews on futureaudiophile which were well done - I really like the structure and formatting of their reviews over there. I’ve also been following that audiophilestyle sub on the DAC200 ... 
HiFi Rose RD160 DAC
I play Spotify on this DAC and it is a completely different and pleasure-inducing machine. I am constantly surprised how a DAC can be so clear without sounding harsh. I had  previously associated “cleaner” with “sharper”. My perspective changed w... 
HiFi Rose RD160 DAC
I’ve been eying the DAC 200 for quite some time, as well as the M3, and Sonnet Pasithea. With the DAC 200 I’ve heard that HQ Player and DSD is the way to go, but I’ve also read extremely good things about PCM with this DAC. @milpai happy so far wi... 
Conrad Johnson Mf-2500a amp and PF-1 Preamp Recap?
I've read somewhere CJ doesn't really like to do recaps on old gear so looking for some guidance.  Costs? I vaguely remember hearing this as well. I own/owned the MF-2300A and PV-14LSII. What I can say is that I’ve contacted cj multiple times t...

Sub suggestions please
For purely aesthetic reasons I went from a Rythmik F12G with paper-based driver to a Classic 98. Their sound profile is more similar than different - they were both a little more rounded with not as much punch, but both integrated well. The F12G d...
