@n80.  +1  I have been having terrible time with the site.  I've been experiencing the exact same problems you mentioned.  Time for some maintenance?? 
Coupling vs Decoupling
A couple questions.1.  What type of floor do you have in your listening room?2.  What is your gear on?  Metal rack, wood rack or?  Is the rack or shelf spiked?This is a great thread and has been discussed here before.  After decades of coupling, I...

Underrated album: Sonics AND Music
Easy one...Clark Terry "Portraits".  For those of you aware of it, you already know, but if you haven't had the pleasure, it is a musical and sonic treasure. This combo jazz release is the most open recording I own in any musical genre on any medi... 
Kandace Springs - Indigo, the long awaited sequel to Soul Eyes
