best interconnect at decent price
+1 for Grannyring's Acoustic BBQ Duelund cables.  Not just a good value for their price, but serious performance at any price. 
Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps?
ASR Emitter II Exclusive 
Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options
Finding the best seat in the room (which gives the smoothest bass) is step one - working with the room rather than against it.  Indeed, it is the Anchor Point for all else that follows.Room treatment & changing speakers may help, but they will... 
Upgrade from Ayre QB9 DAC
My Codex sounds better than my QB-9, IMO 
What speakers work well against a wall
A simple thought experiment is the question, "Would I expect a violinist, a pianist, or even a vocalist to sound good from that position? The answer is NO.And another one, "Would any knowledgeable recording engineer ever record such instruments/pe... 
Spacing Diffusor Panels
Very careful placement of the absorption panels is required, as well as using the correct size.  Too much absorption can definitely kill the sound's liveliness.Re the sound from the rear - it's not even close to the sound from the front.  If for n... 
Spacing Diffusor Panels
Since the sound from the back of the panels will not be particularly good, why would you want to diffuse it, thereby adding an unnatural sound to the room acoustics?  Personally, I would prefer to absorb that back wave.  Reflecting it any manner c...

My wife is at it again.........
That's great!  I gave her a blog a plug in my Get Better Sound Quarter Notes newsletter - Vol.3, #3.Not long after, she stopped posting.  :(IMO - Nothing else like it - in a good way - on the 'net. 
How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL?
IMO, no matter how well set-up the rooms were, there was still work to be done if you heard the RELs separately. It's all about making the entire system work with the room rather than against it. 
Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit?
I ’think’ it even sounds better if run with a source prior to a listening session, even if is left on all the time (as mine is).Not sure if I could reliably tell either way - maybe it’s my own little placebo... :) 
Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit?
IMO, whenever you plan to listen - even after break-in - it's nice to have run the Yggy with a source for 30 minutes to an hour prior to your listening session. 
Yggy RCA Interconnects
I had Parts Connexion make me a set of Duelund 20 GA with XLR at the Yggy end and RCA at the ASR integrated end.  Works great!
