Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

Anyone still using monster M2.2S cables (the really fat ones )
I still run them to my Infinity Renaissance 90 speakers from a Krell 300cx amp.  They sound awesome.  -John 
What internet stations are you donating to this year?
Yup Radio Paradise.  Best fidelity and entertainment for me an my Mrs.-John 
Web / Streaming Radio
I stumbled on this while poking around the Radio Paradise website.  They are the streaming server & host a lot of stations.  Click on streams and there may be some stations to your liking.  http://www.icecast.org/ezstream/I haven't had the tim... 
Listening to equipment at home before you buy
Ditto to Veridian's "not an audiophile" statement. I bought some of my equipment used.  If I didn't like it, I could hawk it like someone did to me.  I ended up keeping almost all of it. One caveat is I treat my gear like a body part for a transpl... 
My 1976 Recordings
That's awesome.  Thanks.   
Best PC to use as a Server
I asked this myself in late 2016 https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/looking-for-laptop-windows-10-for-music-only Folks recommended Eluktronics as a laptop and they seemed like a good choice as the mfg says they are loaded with basic Windows an... 
Best CD lens cleaner
I use one on my home CD player whenever it acts wonky or has playing issues.  Fixes it right up.  Why would you not want to use one?  Similar to a cleaning a camera lens.  I use the Maxell version with the small brush.-John 
What Matters and What is Nonsense
Well I'm in deep do-do, cuz my amp & preamp cost 10K and my Infinity Ren 90's $1500.  Drat the luck.-John 
Pass labs X250.5 cracking noise
From my Krell owners manual: "When powering on any system, turn on amplifiers last. Turn off amplifiers first. "I made the mistake of turning off the pre-amp first once & the sound that came out of the speakers was not pretty.  Scared the heck... 
RECORDS THAT HAVE IMPRESSED PEOPLE SO MUCH THEY BOUGHT MY STEREO
Shadorne: I heard the live acoustic version of "Keith..." on Radio Paradise a couple weeks ago while driving and it is freakin' awesome.  Thanks for reminding me.  Off to Tidal I go to play it at home. Thanks for reminding my geriatric ass about i... 
Real World Records 1/2 speed Remasters
Also curious as to the quality of the new vinyl.   My original vinyl copies are atrocious.  Probably some of the worst mfg. processed LP's I own.  I would listen on Tidal instead, but I don't believe his LP's are on there to play.-John 
Infinity Renaissance 90
I have to 2nd your observation.  Bought mine around 2000 and then a spare pair of EMIT's from Infinity just in case, then a spare pair of 90's just in case.  Only thing I have done is replace the foam in the rear port and wax them a few times.  Po... 
Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?
Not that fond of the show either.  But if it's any consolation, most if not all of the political snivelers on the show pay 39.6% federal income tax.  That in itself makes me feel better.   -John 
Infinity IRS Beta Room Requirements
I bet you dig the heck out of the Betas.  They will be super fun to own, play with and listen to.  I've have Infinity Renaissance 90's for years and  they just awesome.  Enjoy, John
